5 Easy Bridal Skincare Tips For The Monsoon

Contrary to popular belief, the damp and humid weather of the monsoon season isn’t exactly the best for your skin. If your big day is planned for the monsoon, know that your work is cut out for you. The increased humidity puts your sebaceous glands into overdrive, causing an excess oil production on your skin leading to rashes, acne, or even hives.

A skincare routine unsuitable for the monsoon might wreak havoc on your skin at the worst possible moment - your wedding day! But fret not, as we have the best pre-bridal skincare tips and monsoon skincare tips to make your wedding day a grand success.

Follow these 5 easy bridal skincare tips for the monsoon season.

1.Cleansing

As the monsoon season brings the dreaded humidity, it is crucial to switch to a mild cleanser that is gentle on your skin yet keeps the dirt, microbes, and gunk at bay. Instead of your usual face wash, try the VLCC Vitamin C Foaming Face Wash, which is packed with the goodness of Vitamin C, which boosts collagen production, hydrates and protects your skin against free radicals, and works to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

If you have a more oily skin type, then the VLCC Clinic Anti Acne Face wash with salicylic acid and neem helps purify and detoxify your skin to reduce oiliness and patchiness. The VLCC Eternal Youth Face wash with powerful ingredients like Vitamin E, Aloe Vera, Rose oil, and Lavender oil purifies your skin, making it one of the best face wash for wrinkles.

2.Exfoliating

It is essential to exfoliate your skin once or twice a week, no matter the season. It is highly effective at removing dead skin cells from your face and, simultaneously, gives you radiant and glowing skin. Depending on how much makeup you use daily, you might have to increase the number of times you exfoliate in a week.

If you have extra sensitive skin, then the VLCC Papaya & Apricot Face Scrub is perfect for you. Not only does it thoroughly remove dead skin cells, toxins, and other particulate matter from your face, but it also leaves your skin feeling smooth, glowing, and healthy.

If your skin type is oily, then the VLCC Indian Berberry Face Scrub is the one for you. Often used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties, the Indian Berberry is an excellent ingredient for exfoliating making this one of the best face scrub for glowing skin. 

3.Face Mask

The perfect facemask for the monsoon is a clay mask. It might seem counterintuitive, but a clay mask works to reduce dryness while also keeping excess oil at bay. Indian brides have for generations used the famed Multani Mitti, which is a mineral-rich clay-like substance that has a fine texture and can be easily applied to the skin.

A great clay mask with Rhassoul Clay and Pomegranate like the VLCC Clinic Pro Youth Macrofilm Clay Mask is a brilliant choice that will help you achieve tight, smooth, and bright skin while minimizing fine lines so your makeup sits just fine on your big day. Additionally, the VLCC Clinic De-Tan Face Mask is one of the best face mask for glowing skin that helps brighten and exfoliate your skin with the goodness of glutathione, glycolic acid, and niacinamide. This face mask also gets rid of dead cells and adds a polished, radiant glow. 

Another perfect clay mask for brides is the VLCC Vitamin C Clay Mask, which contains Vitamin C and other helpful ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Mulberry & Chamomile.

4.Moisturizer

Remember that a moisturizer is a bride’s best friend! Most of us might wrongly assume that because it is the rainy season, we do not necessarily need to moisturize. However, a well-suited moisturizer like the VLCC Clinic ProDefense All Day Cream with SPF 30 can help maintain your skin by locking in moisture and protecting your skin from sun damage that can cause tanning and skin darkening. Its nourishing and sun protecting properties surely makes it one of the best moisturizer for skin during monsoons.

Enriched with the goodness of Honey & Jojoba Oil, the VLCC Honey Moisturizer is also a fantastic moisturizer that hydrates, nourishes, and conditions the skin.

5. Sunscreen

You might think it is pointless to wear sunscreen on a cloudy day, but you’d be wrong, as the harmful UV rays of the sun can easily penetrate the flimsy cloud cover even during the rains. Therefore, it is vital to use a lightweight sunscreen that will not leave your skin feeling greasy but also protects it from the sun’s UV rays.

The VLCC Mineral Sunscreen Tinted SPF 50 PA+++ Ultra Lightweight Non-Comedogenic is one of the best sunscreen for face and great choice for the monsoon.

For a more balanced sunscreen application try the VLCC Vitamin C Day Cream with SPF 30 infused with Vitamin C, Green tea extracts, and its SPF 30 so you can rest assured that it will protect your skin against all problems.

Pro-Tip: Use as little makeup as possible before your wedding day to avoid unnecessary skin complications. And always consult a doctor for any medical advice related to the skin to ensure you're wedding-ready!
