5 Monsoon skincare mistakes to avoid at all costs

PAHAL KAMPANI

1.    Over-cleansing: Your skin feels sticky and oily this monsoon. Your natural reaction to wash your face over and over again is not a solution. Washing your face especially in this season can give your skin some side effects. Instead of this, limit yourself to two washes a day with a light-gel based cleanser like lakme blush and glow lemon freshness gel wash.  2.    Skipping sunscreen: Come rain or shine, sunscreen is a staple that needs to be with you. Even on a cloudy day, the Sunrays can damage your skin so buy sunscreen soon if you haven't use if yet.  3.    Not hydrating enough: Water is your best friend when it comes to skincare. Eat well and stay hydrated all day. Your skin going to thank you when you follow this.  4.    Not exfoliating: Annoying bumps and breakouts are common during monsoon. You can avoid your pimples, acne by simply exfoliating.  5.    Skipping moisturising: Not moisturising your skin in the monsoon can dry it out and even it will become more oily. When you apply moisturizers firstly check ingredients like pro-vitamin B5, vitamin E glycerin and bargage seed oil that keeps your skin hydrated for up to 12 hours.
