Clothes Matter: Humidity can make skin feel sticky and increase the risk of body odor or rashes. Avoid synthetic materials that trap moisture and cause bacterial growth.
Hack: Stick to breathable, natural fabrics like cotton, linen, and khadi.
Hydration: Even when it’s raining, your body loses water through sweat and digestion. Don’t skip drinking water just because you don’t feel thirsty. Herbal teas (like ginger or chamomile) help warm your gut and fight bloating during damp weather.
Hack: Infuse your water with mint, lemon, or cucumber to make it refreshing and detoxifying.
Skincare: Humidity can trigger acne, dullness, and excess oil. It’s time to simplify and balance your routine. Avoid thick creams and oil-heavy serums unless your skin is very dry.
Hack: Use a gentle, gel-based face wash and a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer.
Boost Immunity: The risk of viral and bacterial infections increases during monsoon. Consider vitamin C and zinc-rich foods like citrus, bell peppers, and seeds.
Hack: Include immunity boosters like turmeric milk, tulsi water, or warm soups in your diet.
Cleanser: Your skin needs regular cleansing to stay clear, but over-cleansing strips natural oils. Follow up with a rose water mist to calm your skin and restore moisture.
Hack: Use a mild, pH-balanced face wash 2–3 times a day.
Light makeup: Sweat and makeup don’t mix well, especially when the humidity is high. Avoid foundation and powder layers that cake and clog pores.
Hack: Use waterproof mascara, tinted moisturizer or BB cream, and lip/cheek tints instead of heavy products.
Feet care: Damp shoes and socks are a breeding ground for fungal infections. Use a pumice stone once a week to prevent skin buildup and foot odor.
Hack: Always dry your feet after getting wet, and sprinkle antifungal foot powder in your shoes.
Hair: Frizzy, dandruff, and hair fall spike during the rainy season. If you get caught in the rain, rinse your hair with clean water ASAP to remove pollutants.
Hack: Wash your hair 2–3 times a week with a sulfate-free shampoo. Use a lightweight conditioner or leave-in serum to control frizz.
