Monsoons are a lovely time of the year, there is green all around. You should also be able to enjoy monsoons without having to worry about the effects of the humid weather on your skin. Our skin needs moisture for crucial reasons. Moisture keeps our skin elastic and firm. Our skin is very resilient and can repair itself but we should not take this property for granted. Constant exposure of skin to the humid atmosphere renders it very susceptible to dehydration and damage. The weather changes during the monsoon are quite unpredictable and our neglect in skin care starts to show up in the form of acne, allergies, and rashes.

Reason for Acne in monsoon

Humidity increases during the rainy season combines with the heat of the summer and increases the sebum production in the skin leading to a greasy appearance, which becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. The sticky face invites dust, dirt, and sweat which causes the skin pores to become clogged leading to acne breakouts. In addition to that, the skin becomes uneven and lifeless. There may be instances, where the person does not have a problem of acne in any other season but the monsoons. Acne in the rainy season can affect the back, arms and the buttocks as well and not just the face.
