Seasonal Skin Care – Protecting Your Skin Naturally

Just like hair, your skin reacts to seasonal changes.

Dry winters, humid monsoons, and hot summers can lead to dullness, irritation, or breakouts.

Ayurveda advises Ritucharya (seasonal routines) to maintain skin balance, while modern dermatology highlights hydration, pH balance, and sun protection as key factors.

Summer Skin Care

1. Problem: Excess sweating, oily skin, sun damage
2. Routine:
3. Use herbal cleansers with neem or aloe vera to remove sweat and dirt.
4. Apply light, non-comedogenic moisturisers.
5. Drink plenty of fluids and coconut water for internal hydration.
6. Include antioxidant-rich foods like berries, tomatoes, and amla.

Monsoon Skin Care

1. Problem: Humidity causes sticky skin, fungal infections, and dullness
2. Routine:
3. Cleanse twice daily with mild herbal face wash.
4. Exfoliate with homemade scrubs of oats and honey once a week.
5. Include turmeric and ginger in the diet for natural immunity.
6. Avoid heavy creams that clog pores.

Winter Skin Care

1. Problem: Dryness, flakiness, and irritation
