Skin is a reflection of overall health, and meticulous care is crucial for maintaining its condition. Different seasons demand tailored skincare strategies to optimize skin health. Here are some vital skincare tips for the rainy season, brought to you by Divana Spa:
Rainy Season Skin Care Tips:
During the rainy season, high humidity levels can cause pores to expand, leading to oily skin and making it easier for pollutants to harm your skin. The key is to maintain a balance, preventing skin from becoming too oily or too dry, which are common triggers for acne, rashes, and inflammation. Here’s how:
1. Regular Cleansing:
Clean your face at least twice a day. Due to increased humidity, oil glands may overproduce, trapping more pollutants if not cleaned properly. However, overwashing can also stimulate more oil production. Choose facial cleansers that suit your skin type to keep acne and excess oil at bay
2. Use a Toner:
After cleansing with a gentle skin product, apply a toner to clean the pores further. This helps remove any remaining impurities and closes the pores. Toners restore the pH balance of your skin and should be alcohol-free to avoid drying out the skin.
3. Moisturize:
Despite the rain, the varying humidity can dry out the skin. Dry skin can flake and become irritated. A moisturizer is essential to lock in hydration. Choose a moisturizer appropriate for your skin type, whether it's for oily, sensitive, or dry skin, ensuring it's quick-absorbing and water-resistant.
4. Sun Protection:
Overcast skies might fool you into skipping sunscreen, but in Thailand, UV radiation is always a concern. Use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and PA++ to protect against UVA and UVB rays, preventing future hyperpigmentation and skin damage.
5. Stay Hydrated:
Good skin starts from within. Drinking adequate water, calculated based on body weight (e.g., weight in kg x 33 = daily water intake in ml), helps maintain vital skin moisture and overall health.
6. Regular Exfoliation:
With more pollutants in the air during the rainy season, dust and grime can settle on your skin and clothes. Regular exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, environmental pollutants, and excess sebum that could lead to acne. This stimulates new cell growth and maintains clear, glowing skin.
These simple yet effective steps ensure your skin remains vibrant and healthy during the rainy season. Divana Spa encourages everyone to adapt these practices for radiant skin all season long.
