WEB DESK: It’s a good time to get into a cleansing routine. During monsoons, one should not ignore the humidity and sweat that comes along with it. Use a mild soap-free cleanser twice daily, a mild alcohol-free toner once daily (try rose water) to clear residual skin impurities and reduce pores, and a facial scrub for dead-skin exfoliation twice a week.

* Aloe vera is not only a great natural sunscreen and skin cooler but also an amazing antibacterial agent. Bacterial infections breed in this weather. Put on some aloe vera-based products to keep your skin healthy.

* Since there is no harsh summer sun to irritate your skin, you can use this time to get rid of tan and pigmentation. It’s also the right time for acne and wrinkle treatments, simply because the weather is not dry.

* For the lazy ones, your brushes and other skincare tools can finally do with a cleaning, or else you will see fungus grow on them.
