As the monsoon season arrives, it brings relief from the scorching heat while rejuvenating the soul. However, for the skin and hair, it's a different story. The increased humidity triggers an overproduction of sebum, leading to clogged pores, dullness and a greasy complexion. It causes pores to enlarge, resulting in excess oil secretion, making the skin appear greasy and dull. This oily skin can clog pores, leading to acne and other skin issues. The constant battle against grime and dirt settling on the skin can be overwhelming during the rainy season. While there are numerous products available to combat these issues, sometimes the best solution lies in embracing natural home remedies.
By giving your skin a much-needed break from harsh chemicals and products, you can help it regain its natural balance and radiance. Here, we've compiled some easy and effective face masks that you can make at home to treat skin issues in the monsoon.
