Five Tips To Keep Your Monsoon Acne At Bay
News 18Monsoon is a great relief to people around the country as it gives a break from the extreme heat. Monsoon causes the skin to become greasy making it acne prone. Here are some of the tips that Dr Sheetu, Associate Professor at School of Pharmacy, shared with Healthshots, to keep acne at bay this season: Exfoliate your skin gently: Gently exfoliating the skin two times a week results in making your skin look more youthful and vibrant as it removes toxins, clears away dead skin cells, and prevents infections. Use a mild face wash: According to Dr Sheetu, “you should cleanse your face more frequently during the monsoon because there is a rise in the humidity which causes dirt, sweat, oil, and leftover make-up debris to clog the pores and give rise to acne, blackheads, and whiteheads.” Do not forget to wear sunscreen: You must always apply sunscreen as it protects your skin from dangerous UVA and UVB rays. Moisturize your skin: As per Dr Sheetu, “Using the right moisturizer will lock the natural hydration and provide nourishment to the skin.” People with oily skin are advised to use moisturiser with matte finish.
