Ayurvedic Face Masks: The skin undergoes several changes during the rainy season. Although the season brings refreshing rains, it also brings patchiness, oily skin, humidity, dirt and pollution, making the skin look dull during monsoons. With the increase of the humidity in the rainy season, the skin becomes sensitive, ranging from extreme dryness or unexpected oilyness, which makes it difficult to maintain the natural glow of the skin. The solution to these problems lies in India’s ancient system of wellness, that is, Ayurveda. It provides gentle and powerful remedies to bring back glowing skin in the monsoon. Rooted in balance and natural healing, Ayurvedic face masks have remained a time-tested wisdom to nourish and rejuvenate the skin.
Ayurveda believes in balancing the doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha) to maintain healthy skin. During monsoons, the increased humidity aggravates the Kapha and Pitta doshas, often leading to breakouts, fungal infections and oil imbalance. These DIY Ayurvedic face masks revive the skin naturally during the monsoon season. These homemade face packs for glowing skin in the rainy season are easy to prepare at home using natural ingredients like neem, sandalwood, turmeric and others. The natural skincare remedies help battle acne, dullness and provide a glow in the dull monsoon weather. Here are the five best Ayurvedic face masks for monsoon skincare that you must try for glowing skin.
