How To Take Care Of Your Skin In A Humid Climate!

Weather affects our skin, especially when there is shift from warmer weather to colder weather. Below you can categorically check how you can keep your skin protected from humid weather and reduce any negative effects:

Oily Skin

It is a commonly known fact that oily skin is acne-prone and humid weather aggravates the breakout, but a few steps can help:

1. Cleanse

The best way to avoid humid weather from damaging your skin is to keep it clean but do not overdo it because washing your face too often can remove its natural moisture. You will need a heavy cleanser specially formulated for oily skin that will deeply clean your pores of all dirt and makeup residues. Double cleansing before going to bed at night also helps!

2. Tone

That is one ritual you have to remember because toner will keep your skin hydrated. Finding a toner with rosewater is recommended. Rosewater has healing properties besides being an excellent oil and shine controller.

3. Moisturize

Even if the weather is hot and humid, you should never skip moisturizing your skin. Be particular about selecting an oil-free variant since comedogenic products will clog your pores, doing more harm than good.

4. Exfoliate

Accumulated dead cells will accelerate sebum production. Removal of these dead cells will pave the way for smoother, clear skin even in a humid climate.

Normal Skin

Normal skin has the potential to sustain itself in every climatic condition, but a humid climate takes its toll on normal skin too. Let us read the steps to curb any alarms that a humid climate can raise.

1. Cleanse

Even if you do not notice any signs of humid climate bothering your skin, do not neglect to cleanse your skin; once in the morning after you wake up, and a double cleanse before going to bed will ensure that your pores remain clean and unclogged.

2. SPF

Sun protection is important even if you are staying indoors. Heat and UV rays damage your skin’s natural barrier and reduce its elasticity making your skin look dull and tired. Always choose a higher SPF; because the higher the SPF, the more protection it provides.

3. Moisturize

Do not compromise on a moisturizer even if your skin does not feel the need to be hydrated because humid weather depletes your skin’s hydration levels. Humid weather makes you sweat profusely releasing salt and water from your pores.

4. Hydrating Sprays

They are real lifesavers when you are on the go. Hydration sprays are mist sprays infused with summer essentials like aloe vera, mint, cucumber, tea tree extracts, etc. They will replenish your lost hydration when a moisturizer is out of access. Our favorites are from Jane Iredale.

Dry Skin

Dry skin suffers the most during humid weather conditions because your skin usually remains dry throughout the year, and in a humid climate, it becomes dry and oily simultaneously. This condition is quite challenging, but effective measures can control this condition quite well.

1. Cleanse

It is crucial to cleanse your skin twice daily, even when your skin is as dry as chapped leather. Use a deep gentle cleanser after waking up and before retiring to bed. Gentle cleansers will provide your dry skin with the cleansing it needs but moderately.

2. Tone

Choose the right toner keeping your skin condition in mind. Toner is essential to close your open pores and provide it hydration after the drying cleanse step.

3. Moisturize

Dry skin is like a sponge even if you apply dollops of moisturizing creams your skin will soak it all up, but a humid climate calls for more moisturizers because dry skin gets itchy and flaky during these days.

4. Exfoliate

Exfoliate your skin religiously even when the weather is humid because that is the only way to get rid of the flakes that have accumulated on dry skin. Remember to buy a mild exfoliant since most counter versions are very harsh that can lead to rashes.

5. Opt For Light Makeup

This step is vital as dry skin does not accommodate heavy make up quite well. Skip the usual foundation and concealer to allow your skin to breathe. Clear makeup-free skin with just the right nude lipstick will give you a glow no makeup can ever do.
These were a few skincare rituals that you can easily follow and protect your skin from the adverse humid climatic conditions.
