The thought of those gloomy clouds, getting drenched in rain gives a feeling of enjoyment but when it comes to rain damaging our hair or skin, the feeling fades out. If you are from the subcontinent, the effect is all the more alarming, making it necessary to take care of your skin and hair in this capricious climate.
Fashion Tips Hair: Monsoon is not a friendly season when we talk about tresses. The raised bar of moisture in the atmosphere makes the texture of hair dull, flat and tangled resulting in limpness, greasiness, dandruff and hair fall. Follow these simple tips to say a goodbye to a bad hair day during monsoons.
1. Always cover your hair.
2. Don't use hair sprays or gels as the hair lacquers and gums can stick to scalp causing dandruff.
3. A big no to hot hair treatments like perming or straightening during this season. Put your hair dryers away.
Stylist Sylivieshared, "Frizzy hair is a common problem in monsoons, because of the excess humidity in the air that tends to make the hair coarse. Therefore conditioning is very important in monsoon. Go for a mild shampoo that will add right lustre and bounce to your tresses". "Forest Essential's herb-based shampoos are free from harsh, damaging sulphate cleansers. They do not strip the scalp of its natural oils and offer a combination of plant-derived cleansing agents that help balance the hair's natural PH," said Mira Kulkarni director of Forest Essential. Wear your hair short, or opt for a style that can bounce back easily after being wet. Stylist Clint Fernandesinformed, "A simple bun with a clip or just a simple ponytail of your straight silky hair will give a simple yet stylish look in monsoon. Go for zero chemical shampoos by Fab India.
Makeup Tips : In monsoon, dense makeup bears a risk of being smudged and washed out so go for the light and sheer make up. "The best option is to remain make-up free. Use waterproof mascara, liners, oil based kajal (kohl) and long stayed lipsticks," said Clint. "The Body ShopOil Free Foundationis perfect for monsoon augmented with Marula oil Some of the other products best for rainy season are The Body Shop Poppy Seed Reviving Maskand the Waterproof Mascara," said Shriti MalhotraGM, The Body Shop.
Eyes: Forget the eyebrow pencil for some time; keep them in shape with threading. Power based eye shadow in light pinks, nudes, sheer green or light purple can be used. To add drama to your eyes, stick to water-resistant eye liners in fresh colours like green and blue. Avoid concealer, touch up those dark circles with a dab of water-resistant foundations.
Foundations: One can replace foundation with face powder that matches with the skin tone. Waterproof moisturizers can also be used to serve as a base for the makeup.
Blusher: Oil based crème blush in shades of pink, peach and brown are best. Earthy and pastel shades like brown or peaches are going to rule.
Lips: Stay away from lip glosses and lip liners. Use matt lip colours or lightly tinted lip balms. Spa Sonia Michon-Floc'hlay Vice President of Estee Lauder revealed, "Don't forget to exfoliate as it will remove all the dead cells and rejuvenate your skin."
Treatments like detox wraps, spa pedicure and manicure specifically powered with the natural goodness of aloe vera, spirulina papaya and peppermint oil serve the purpose the best.
