Monsoon Skincare Mistakes to Avoid Rainy days might lift up your mood, but they often drag your skin down. If you feel your face is acting up, like one day it feels oily and the next day it feels dry, then you are not imagining it. The monsoon has its skincare challenges. Humidity, unexpected chills, and pollution combine to create a mess that your routine skincare might not be capable of tackling. That's why, rather than piling on more products, you should dump the everyday skincare products that cause your skin to suffer during monsoon season. So, let’s talk about what not to do when it comes to monsoon skincare and, of course, what to do instead with a little help from some of the best products from The Body Shop.
Mistake 1: Skipping Face Wash Because It’s Not Sweaty Monsoons don’t make you sweat as much as summer, but your pores still gather oil, dirt, and pollution. Not washing your face twice daily is a silent sabotage of your skincare goals. Switch to: The Body Shop’s Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash. This gel-to-foam cleanser is a monsoon essential. It deep-cleans without drying, thanks to a combo of salicylic acid and Community Fair Trade tea tree oil. Proven to reduce blemishes in 7 days, it keeps your skin refreshed and oil-free no matter how sticky the weather gets.
Mistake 2: Moisturiser? Who Needs That in Humidity? You do. One of the biggest monsoon skincare blunders is thinking oily skin means hydrated skin. Missing moisturiser makes your skin create extra oil to overcompensate, resulting in clogged pores and acne. Switch to: Seaweed Oil-Control Gel Cream by The Body Shop. It is a light gel cream that hydrates for 48 hours without oiliness. Seaweed fixes your skin barrier at night. You wake up to bouncy, fresh, and cheerful skin even on a rainy day.
Mistake 3: Not Using Sunscreen (Because It’s Cloudy) Clouds ≠ UV protection. UV rays penetrate your skin and cause long-term damage, even on the gloomiest monsoon day. Switch to: Skin Defence Multi-Protection Light Essence SPF 50 PA+++. This isn’t your typical heavy SPF. It’s a light, non-sticky essence with hyaluronic acid that hydrates while protecting. Plus, it shields you from blue light and pollution, because monsoon doesn’t mean you’re off your phone or laptop!
Mistake 4: Using Harsh Body Washes on Acne-Prone Skin Body breakouts during the monsoon are real. Wet clothes, humidity, and sitting in damp jeans? Hello, back acne. But strong soaps strip your skin, causing more harm than good. Switch to: The Body Shop’s Tea Tree Body Wash. With 93% natural-origin ingredients and Kenya tea tree oil, this one's a dream come true for oily and blemish skin. It refreshes without drying, reduces blemishes, and cools on a humid day. And the environmentally-friendly packaging scores brownie points.
Mistake 5: Ignoring Dullness & Tired Skin Monsoon can make your skin look lifeless and drained. Ignoring that glow-up step is one skincare mistake you don’t want to repeat. Switch to: Vitamin C Glow Revealing Serum. This vitamin C serum is made with 92% ingredients of natural origin that reduce the appearance of uneven skin tone and texture. It’s the reset button your skin needs to beat monsoon dullness. To Read full blog, visit the link: https://www.patreon.com/posts/135469111
