Rain Game - Skin & Hair Care for Monsoons - Part 1


The Rainy Season has started over the Indian Continent and will slowly move over the North-East way.

Before you let your guard down as the breezy monsoon with its pleasant chill drives away the scorching sun, hang on! No matter how much we relish the advent of the rains, remember that it comes with its own set of troubles. It is important to take care of your skin during the rains as the skin can develop bacterial infection due to constant humidity. This can cause the skin to become oilier then usual which results in grime and dirt sticking to it.

Since rains make your skin susceptible to water-borne bacteria, it's advisable to use anti-bacterial face wash for proper cleansing action. One should adhere to the regular regime of cleansing / scrubbing, toning and moisturizing.

SKIN CARE

DOs and DON'Ts

  • Go light on make-up.
  • Dry your feet to prevent fungal infections. Regular pedicures and manicures will help.
  • Don't give a kick to the sunscreen lotion.
  • Rub an ice cube on your face at least twice a day to keep it fresh.
  • Switch to water-based moisturizers. Cleanse your face just before going to bed.


DIET

  • Eat salads and have a lot of vegetable soup, which will keep you warm and healthy.
  • Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily.
  • Avoid vegetables like radish, spinach and cabbage because they might have worms. 
  • Eat protein rich food like grams, almonds, cottage cheese, etc.
  • Have fresh citrus fruit juices. Even sugar cane juice or apple juice are good sources of vitamins.
  • Consume lots of garlic, bitter gourd, basil leaves, fenugreek, turmeric, etc to enhance immunity. 
  • Stay from too much animal protein which is hard to digest.
