Style tips for the monsoon season

How to look stylish in the monsoons.

It can be cumbersome to style yourself in the monsoon season due to the constant downpour, moisture and humid climate. It becomes difficult to manage your skin and hair and make it look tip-top all the time. But these tips will help up your style quotient even in this wet climate.

• If you want to highlight your hair, opt for an ombre hair colour as it is in season and suits Indian skin tone.
• Make your nails look pretty with bold and bright nail polish or nail art.
• During the monsoon, the hair becomes limp and loses its sheen. So, a trip to the salon for a protein restore treatment will never leave you disappointed. Also, tame your tresses with an oil massage.
• Keep your make-up to a bare minimum. Humidity and frequent downpours can accelerate oil-secretion, so, using non-greasy and light make-up provides a clean matte finish. Also, always opt for waterproof brands.

Some home remedies can also come in handy!

• Papaya works as a great de-tanner; curd clears blemishes; aloe vera gel soothes the skin; and lavender boosts rejuvenation.
• To eliminate roughness, try this -- take some almond paste, mix this with some milk to make a smooth and thick paste. Apply the pack to get a smooth and flawless skin.
