The monsoon season brings much-needed relief from the scorching summer, but it also brings a unique set of skin challenges especially for those with sensitive skin. Increased humidity, dampness, and fluctuating temperatures can lead to breakouts, rashes, and even fungal infections. Here are some dermatologist-recommended skin care tips to help you protect your sensitive skin during this season.
Keep Your Skin Dry and Clean
Excess humidity during monsoons causes sweat and moisture to accumulate on the skin, creating a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. Gently cleanse your skin twice a day and pat dry, especially in areas like underarms, feet, and behind the knees.Choose Light, Breathable Skincare Products
Avoid heavy creams and opt for gel-based moisturizers or serums that don’t clog pores. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and chamomile these calm irritated skin and keep it hydrated without making it greasy.Avoid Harsh Exfoliants
Exfoliating too often can damage the protective skin barrier. Stick to mild exfoliation once a week to prevent dead skin buildup while avoiding over-sensitization.Wear Loose Cotton Clothing
Tight synthetic clothes can trap sweat and irritate the skin. Cotton allows your skin to breathe and reduces the chances of rashes and fungal infections.Use Targeted Natural Treatments for Fungal Issues
Sensitive skin is more prone to fungal infections during monsoons. Traditional antifungal creams may be too harsh. That’s where Ethniq's plant-based solution comes in a patented natural cure for chronic fungal infections recently launched in India. It's particularly suitable for people looking for gentle yet effective remedies for recurring skin issues.Hydrate from Within
Don’t forget to drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated flushes toxins and keeps your skin resilient against environmental stressors.
