Monsoon makes your mood fresh and calm, but not for your skin. Sweat, humidity, and excess oil make your skin itchy, dull, and dry. If you have oily skin, you should follow a skin routine that fights free radicals. The best approach is to keep your skin healthy and hydrated, and the best part is? You don’t need a shelf of skincare products. Just a few smart swaps are enough to set your skin glowing!
Effective tips for monsoon skincare
Here are some of the effective tips for monsoon skincare that you should follow:
Cleanse Twice Daily
Humidity leads to excess oil that clogs pores. Be sure to use a face wash to keep your skin clean and remove impurities.
Use a Light Moisturiser
Your skin needs proper nourishment in rainy seasons; use a lightweight moisturizer.
Don’t Skip Sunscreen
Apply a light water-resistant sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays.
Exfoliate Weekly
Dirt and free radicals build faster in the monsoon. Use a charcoal mask once a week to keep your skin healthy and glowing.
The Body Shop Picks for Oily Skin in the Rainy Season
Here’s your detailed guide to an effective oily skin care routine during the monsoons, featuring The Body Shop’s best picks. Let’s sort your monsoon skincare:
1) Tea Tree Skin Clearing Face Wash
Best For: Everyday oil control and deep cleansing of the skin
First thing—clean the skin. Monsoon humidity means more sweat and a higher risk of bacteria buildup due to increased oil production, and if you don’t take care of your skin, that’s a recipe for breakouts. The Body Shop’s Tea Tree Skin Clearing Face Wash is the best cleanser for oily skin. It gently removes dead skin and impurities while clearing away excess sebum.
Why it’s best for oily skin in monsoon:
- Consists of Salicylic acid, which gently removes dead skin
- Deep cleans the skin
- Controls shine throughout the day
- Suitable for blemished skin
- Certified by The Vegan Society
- Dermatologically tested
2) Tea Tree Skin Clearing Mattifying Toner
Best for: Daily use, makeup cleanser, mattified complexion
Oily skin needs hydration—yes, even in the rain. If you skip mattifying toner, it pushes your skin to produce more oil. The Body Shop’s Tea Tree skin-clearing mattifying toner is your savior here. It helps in eliminating any dirt or grime lurking around your pores. Plus, it’s vegan and is enriched with community fair trade tea tree oil from Kenya. Include this toner in your skin care routine for cleansed, purified, refreshed, and glowing skin.
What makes it monsoon-ready:
- Removes makeup
- Vegan
- Ideal for oily skin
- Get your oily skin back to glowing
- The real hero is Community Fair Trade tea tree oil from Kenya that keeps your skin shining.
3) Seaweed oil control facewash
Best For: Gel-to-foam wash, cleansed complexion.
Cloudy days keep your skin dull. That’s where The Body Shop’s Seaweed Oil Control Face Wash steps in. Seaweed oil control facewash contains the main hero, a new seaweed active: royal sugar kelp from Brittany, France, that balances oiliness and dryness by regulating sebum levels.
Why we love it in monsoon:
- Gently cleanses oily skin
- Helps to remove excess oil
- Shine-free skin without leaving it dry or tight
4) Charcoal Pore Minimising Mask
Best for: Weekly deep cleansing for your skin.
Monsoon humidity might suffocate pores, which leads to blackheads. A once-a-week detox mask is the secret to oil-free skin. The Body Shop’s Charcoal Pore Minimizing Mask removes dirt and dust, absorbs excess oil, and keeps your skin shining. This charcoal face mask is the best exfoliator for oily skin from The Body Shop.
Why it’s a monsoon must-have:
- Packed with 4x more charcoal
- Instantly removes dirt and dust
- Gives a relaxing cleanse at home
Bonus Tip: Don’t Forget Skincare for Your Body in Monsoon!
Humidity is seen not only on your face but on your body too, leading to sweat spots and back acne. The Body Shop’s Tea Tree Body Wash is antibacterial and best for oily skin, acting as a post-rain shower reset for your body.
