Due to external factors such as pollution and ultraviolet rays, our skin tends to become extremely dull, leading to harsh dark patches. Apply a good quality face serum before applying makeup for a dewy base and a hydrating look. Photo Courtesy: iStock

Moisturise with a lightweight gel. Opt for a hydrating lightweight formula that absorbs into the skin instantly without leaving any sticky feeling. You want to look for something that is ideal for the weather and that doesn’t weigh down your skin. Gently massage with circular movements, starting from the centre to the contours of your cleansed face. Photo Courtesy: iStock

Use a generous amount of sunscreen. While the sun during the monsoons might not be at its shiniest best, the UVA and UVB rays could still damage skin and cause tanning and pigmentation if you step out without applying sunscreen on your skin. Apply it at least 30 minutes before you step out into the sun. Photo Courtesy: iStock
