Monsoon is here! While this beautiful season brings the joy of dripping raindrops, hot cups of tea, and delicious snacks, it also brings skincare challenges due to increased humidity and moisture. Issues like acne, fungal infections, dehydration, excess oiliness, and irritation can take a toll on your skin's precious glow. 

So, if you don't want this monsoon season to take away your glowing skin and are looking for tips on how to protect your skin, then you are at the right place. Keep reading, as we have compiled a few easy yet effective monsoon skincare tips below to help you out.

Read on to discover how you can maintain a healthy glow all season long:

The increased humidity and moisture in the monsoon season make your skin more susceptible to pollutants and dirt. That's why starting your day with a thorough cleanse is essential.

Opt for gentle cleansers that effectively remove dirt without stripping away its natural oils to keep your skin protected.

Consider using ClayCo's gentle Azuki beans and Koji Rice Enzyme Powder. It transforms into a luxurious foam that deeply cleanses your skin, removing dirt and dead skin. Not only will your skin feel refreshed, but you'll also notice an instant glow.

Additionally, if you're following a double cleansing routine, remember to use lightweight makeup removers, as they ensure thorough cleansing without weighing down your skin.

In addition to shielding your skin from pollutants, it's essential to prioritise hydration. Why? Hydration helps maintain skin health, combating the effects of humidity and moisture imbalance.

Make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day, as hydrating your skin from within keeps it plump, supple, and radiant. 

Moreover, incorporating hydrating skincare products into your routine can enhance moisture retention. Reach for lightweight products like Claycos Barrier Relief Cloud Cream moisturiser and Sake Glass Glow essence. Both are lightweight Japanese formulas designed to hydrate and give you a bright- looking skin. The ingredients in these Japanese skincare products attract and lock in moisture, keeping your skin hydrated without feeling heavy or greasy. 

The high humidity levels and frequent rainfall can wreak havoc on heavy makeup, leading to clogged pores, breakouts, and an uneven complexion. So, another important monsoon skincare hack is adopting a minimalistic approach to makeup. Keep it light and easy for happy, healthy skin. Think of it as giving your skin some much-needed breathing room amidst all the moisture in the air. 

With fewer layers of products on your skin, you're less likely to experience product buildup and congestion, ensuring a clearer complexion.

Confused about why your skin is oily during monsoons or looking for the best monsoon skincare tip for oily skin? The answer is a clay mask! 

The increased humidity levels cause excess sebum production, resulting in unwanted greasiness and a high risk of acne and breakouts during monsoons. Clay masks enter as a saviour in this situation. They absorb extra oil from your skin, unclog pores, and prevent stubborn acne and breakouts. 

We recommend using Claycos Purifying Matcha Clay Mask,enriched with authentic Japanese Matcha and other potent kaolin, bentonite, and green clay. These clays mildly exfoliate your skin, detoxify pores, and give you instant glow and moisturization. 

Your lips and under eye areas also need special care during the monsoon. But you usually overlook the importance of taking care of them amidst all the skincare. Don't you?

Monsoons can make your lips prone to dryness, chapping, and puffiness. Additionally, the constant moisture in the air can cause under-eye puffiness and dark circles.

To keep your lips soft and supple, use the ClayCos Japanese Peach and Squalane overnight lip mask in your skincare routine. For the under-eye area, opt for a Ginseng and Bakuchiol Brightening under-eye cream. Both of these products are inspired by centuries-old Japanese skincare techniques and are infused with skin-friendly ingredients. 

 With the monsoon season comes a myriad of skincare challenges. However, armed with the right knowledge and skincare routine, you can combat these woes and maintain healthy, glowing skin all season long.

So, don't let the monsoon rain on your parade. Embrace these simple yet effective tips in your monsoon skincare routine and enjoy a season filled with healthy skin!
