DIY home remedies for monsoon skincare

1. The skin can feel dull during monsoon, use a sheet mask with charcoal or a charcoal-containing peel-off mask.
2. Cucumber juice with rose water works as a good hydrator post-cleansing. It is soothing around the eyes and on irritated rosacea-prone sensitive skin.
3. For dry skin, use glycerine rose water with a few drops of lemon juice. Refrigerate the mixture and apply cold post-cleansing.

Things to avoid during the monsoon

1. Essential oil should not be left on the face for more than twenty minutes.
2. Avoid excessive steam inhalation or steam baths. Stick to once a week, for five to seven minutes and make sure to have a cool shower after.
3. If you get a body massage, shower within twenty minutes.
4. Avoid leaving hair oil overnight to prevent breakouts on the face.
