Heavy rains are falling across the country including the state. Due to the continuous rains, the atmosphere has become cold everywhere. But during these days the skin starts to feel very oily and sticky. Due to the high humidity in the air, the sweat does not dry quickly and the natural oils from the skin remain on the face as well.

It is very important to treat skin problems in time instead of ignoring them forever. The skin becomes very sticky or oily due to many reasons like increased humidity during monsoons, summer sweat and excess oil production in the skin.

Applying makeup on oily skin can make the skin worse. Apart from this, changes in hormones, stress, lack of sleep, consumption of too much oily and sweet foods, wrong skincare products, touching the skin after frequent pimples etc. can immediately show the effect on the skin. So it is very important to take care of the skin in all other seasons including monsoons. The effect of changes in weather is immediately visible on the body as well as on the skin. So, after the skin becomes oily, the skin should be cleaned using a mild shampoo. Use face wash 2 or 3 times a day. Frequent cleansing of the skin using shampoos depletes the skin’s natural oils.

After washing the face, dry it with a cotton cloth. Follow with an alcohol-free toner and a light, oil-free moisturizer. Avoid using moisturizer if your skin is very oily. This can make the skin even more oily. If the skin is very oily, use blotting paper or a clean tissue. This will reduce excess oil accumulated on the skin. In order to look beautiful, not only makeup but also proper skin care and nutrition is equally important.
