Seasonal Change Skin Care: From Humid to Dry Weather

A humid monsoon makes skin oily and sticky. When the air turns dry, the same routine can leave it tight and dull. Adjust gently.

What changes

• Skin loses water faster in dry air.
• Dead skin builds up and looks dull.
• Lips and heels crack sooner.

Adjust your routine

1. Cleanser: switch to a milder face wash and use lukewarm water.
2. Moisturise: use a slightly richer cream and apply it on damp skin.
3. Exfoliate once a week with a gentle scrub like Potato Face Scrub.
4. Add an oil at night: a drop or two of Vitamin E Oil.
5. Keep using sunscreen.

Do not forget

Drink water, sleep well and keep baths lukewarm. For the colder months ahead, read our winter skin care routine.
