With the onset of monsoons, you bid goodbye to the scorching heat, but you need to protect your skin from humidity. Humid weather brings skin problems like rashes, pimples, and infections. Whether you have a dry or oily skin type, following an effective skincare regime is a must.
The basic rule to keep your skin glowing during monsoons is to exfoliate it frequently. Exfoliation is a process that helps to remove the dead cells and unveils a fresh covering of your skin. It can be done using simple homemade face scrubs to revitalize your skin.
With a busy schedule, it often becomes difficult to go out and get a nice facial scrub, but having one regularly is important too. So, even when you are unable to go out, you can still scrub at home with a homemade scrub. A homemade scrub will smoothen your skin naturally without any side effects. Moreover, it can reduce dullness on the skin that is caused due to pollution and dirt.
