Try These Best Homemade Face Packs For Monsoon

We become extra careful with our skincare during winters and summers. While the winters bring flakey, dry skin and summers bring the scorching heat along, we tend to forget it’s the monsoon season!

In the Monsoons, we experience severe sweat, humidity, heat as well as moisture and dampness. This fluctuating weather makes people with combination skin look dry and dull, and our skin feels like an oil well.

While your skin is continually affected by the changing climate, it gets worse once you enter the monsoons.

Monsoons, in particular, can also cause acne and fungal infections. To cope with the changing weather and keep your skin health consistent, it is imperative to take care of it all year round.
