Monsoon Skincare Tips: Beat the Humidity Breakouts

Monsoon Skincare Tips: Beat the Humidity Breakouts

Rainy season in Pakistan brings a much-needed break from the heat — but it also brings humidity, clogged pores, oily skin, and surprise breakouts. Whether you’re in Karachi, Lahore, or Islamabad, monsoon weather can seriously mess with your skincare routine.

At omsstore, we know how frustrating it is when your skin goes from glowing to greasy overnight. That’s why we’re sharing our top monsoon skincare tips to help you stay fresh, clear, and confident all season long.

☁️ Why Does Your Skin Break Out During Monsoon?

Humidity causes:

  • Excess oil production

  • Clogged pores

  • Bacterial growth on the skin

  • Increased sweating (especially in covered areas)

All this makes your skin more vulnerable to acne, blackheads, whiteheads, and an overall dull appearance.

🌿 1. Cleanse — But Don’t Strip Your Skin

During monsoon season, double cleansing can be your best friend — especially if you wear sunscreen or makeup.

✅ Use a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser
✅ Try a gel-based face wash if you have oily or acne-prone skin
✅ Don’t overwash — twice a day is enough

🛒 Try our gel cleansers — perfect for humid weather!

💧 2. Don’t Skip Moisturizer (Even if You’re Oily)

Many people stop using moisturizers during the monsoon, thinking their skin doesn't need it. But skipping moisturizer can actually make your skin oilier, as it tries to compensate for dehydration.

✅ Use a lightweight, non-comedogenic gel moisturizer
✅ Look for ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, or green tea

🛒 Check out our moisturizer— absorbs fast and keeps skin calm.

🌞 3. Yes, You STILL Need Sunscreen

Even when it’s cloudy, UV rays can penetrate the skin and cause damage.

✅ Choose a matte, sweat-resistant SPF
✅ Reapply if you're out and about

🛒 Our sunscreens gives full protection without the greasiness.

🧽 4. Exfoliate (Gently!) Once or Twice a Week

Exfoliating clears away dead skin, oil, and pollutants — but don’t go overboard.

✅ Use a mild chemical exfoliant like salicylic acid or lactic acid
❌ Avoid harsh scrubs — they can irritate monsoon-sensitive skin

🧖♀️ 5. Use Clay Masks to Decongest Your Skin

Once a week, treat your skin to a detox session.

✅ Try masks with kaolin, bentonite clay, or charcoal
✅ They absorb excess oil and clear out pores

🛒 Try our [Deep Detox Clay Mask] for a refreshing reset.

🍃 6. Keep It Clean

  • Always remove your makeup before bed

  • Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands

  • Change pillowcases often — bacteria loves humidity!

🫧 7. Hydrate Inside Out

Good skin isn’t just about products. Drink water. Eat water-rich fruits (like cucumbers, melons, oranges). And avoid too much fried food — which can trigger breakouts.
