The monsoons are back! Cue the annual series of complaints about damp clothes, endless traffic jams, and frizzy hair. But let’s face it, while the rains do bring some hassles, they also have a poetic charm. There’s something magical about sipping hot chai and indulging in deep conversations while inhaling the earthy scent of wet soil. To help you keep your skin glowing and happy during this rainy season, here are five essential skincare tips that will have you loving the monsoon rather than ranting about it.

1. “Ugh, my face feels so dirty all the time!”  

Embrace the Power of Cleansing

Rain means humidity and dirt, and if you've ever had a car splash filthy water on you, you know the struggle is real. Your skin attracts dirt like a magnet, making cleansing a must. Use a gentle, natural cleanser that doesn't strip your skin of its essential oils. Rivona Charcoal Face Wash with its plant-based ingredients is perfect for keeping your skin fresh and free from impurities. Just a quick wash and you’ll feel like you’ve rinsed away all the grime and stress of the day!

2. “My skin is so oily and greasy”  

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!

We know the feeling of heavy skin dripping with sweat and moisturizer during monsoons, but it still needs hydration. The trick is to switch to a lightweight moisturizer that doesn't feel greasy. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which keeps your skin moisturized without making it oily. Rivona Naturals’ Lightweight Hydration Lotion is perfect for this. It’s like giving your skin a refreshing drink, keeping it plump and dewy without that sticky feeling. Say goodbye to greasy skin!

3. “Why should I bother with sunscreen when the sun’s not out"  

Don’t Skip the Sunscreen

Yes, the sun plays hide-and-seek during the monsoon, and you might feel greasy with layers of humidity, sweat, and sunscreen together, but harmful UV rays are still around. Protect your skin with sunscreen. Rivona’s Mineral Sunscreen with SPF 50 is perfect for Indian skin. Apply it generously, even on cloudy days, because the last thing you need is an unexpected tan after a casual chai session.

4. “My skin is breaking out from all the humidity!”  

Exfoliate, But Gently

Just like dark spots on your white shirts during the rains, dirt and humidity can also accumulate on your face and skin, making you feel like it's a permanent part of you. But don’t worry! With exfoliation, you can scrub that dirt away and start your day again with glowing, clean skin. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and prevents clogged pores, especially with increased humidity. However, don’t overdo it. Use a mild scrub, like Rivona’s Gentle Exfoliating Scrub, once or twice a week. It helps in sloughing off dead skin without irritation, leaving your skin smooth and ready to soak in all the goodness of your skincare products.
