If your skin care routine seems to stop working during the monsoon season then you are not alone. The rainy season often brings oily skin, breakouts and irritation due to increased humidity but using multiple products to beat monsoon skin ailments is not the solution. Supported by scientific research for its soothing, moisturising and anti-inflammatory effects you can try these five aloe vera hacks for better skin health:
2/6
If your skin becomes excessively oily during the rainy season then mix aloe vera gel with multani mitti to create a smooth paste. Apply it once a week to absorb excess oil but don't allow the clay to overly dry your skin. This combination is effective especially for combination and oily skin types.
3/6
Freshly shaved skin is more likely to be irritated during the monsoon season. The gel can be used on the skin after shaving or waxing to help calm irritated skin, decrease discomfort and leave a light layer of hydration without a greasy residue.
4/6
Combine aloe vera gel, rose water and a bit of distilled water in a spray bottle. Store it in the fridge and use it as a refreshing face mist throughout the day. This mixture can help to cool down sticky skin and give immediate moisturization without compromising your makeup.
5/6
Excessive exposure to rainwater, wet shoes and frequent hand washing can cause the skin to dry out and become rough. Massage it on your hands and feet with a thin coat of aloe vera gel before bedtime and let it absorb overnight. It retains moisture and makes skin softer in the morning.
6/6
Use a generous amount of pure aloe vera gel on your face before washing it. This helps to soften skin and surface impurities while calming the skin without stripping when cleansing your face particularly if you wash your face more often in humid weather.
