How to Build the Perfect Ayurvedic Body Care Routine for the Monsoon Season

Monsoon means humidity, sweat, and muddy water all around us. This is why you need to build a healthy monsoon skincare routine to keep your skin feeling fresh and hydrated. 

Before we talk about a monsoon skincare routine, we also want to point out that herbal body care during the rainy season is equally important.

But do you wonder why choose herbal? So, let us answer some simple questions for you. 

Why Ayurvedic Body Care Routine for Monsoon?

Ayurvedic products mean no chemicals, no synthetic ingredients and no artificial colours. During monsoon season, our skin and scalp are producing extra sebum so in this case, do you want to calm your skin cells or aggravate them?

Obviously you don’t want the latter and that’s why an ubtan-based body care and skin care routine without any SLS is what we recommend. 

WeHerbal’s gentle formulations are made for just that, building a healthy skincare and body care routine without engaging with any harsh chemicals. 

How to Build Monsoon Skincare Routine?

Start with a gentle, mild cleanser like WeHerbal’s ubtan-based cleanser that is made of turmeric, saffron, sandalwood, dead sea mud, and orange peel powder. Use the Kumkumadi Ubtan Face Wash that deeply hydrates and locks in moisture for 72 hours. 

Next, you need the freshness of hydrating rose petals in the form of Pure Rose Water. Just a small amount of spritzing before using any serum or other herbal remedies and your face will look fresh as ever. 

Since the monsoon season can lead to breakouts and acne, using Bakuchiol serum is recommended. Just 3-4 drops can help calm skin inflammation, cool down the redness and itchiness and fade away acne while preventing breakouts. 

Lastly, you need a nourishing cream to pack it all with nutrients. In this case, use Kumkumadi Face Cream in an upwards direction for radiant and revitalised skin. 

Your lips need extra hydration during the monsoon season so using the Kumkumadi Lip Balm is a non-negotiable. Reapply throughout the day whenever your lips feel chapped. 

Herbal Body Care During Rainy Season

Now that your skincare is done, it’s time for body care. Moving on to body care, your shower routine should be specifically tailored for the monsoon season. 

Start by using a herbal soap like the Zero Chemical Ubtan Bathing Bar. It works well for the skin as it helps preserve the skin’s pH balance and reduces irritation as it does not contain SLS or any other foaming agents.

Post shower, use the Kumkumadi Sunscreen Body Lotion that helps keep your skin hydrated and maintain your pH balance. It helps get rid of tanning and keeps your skin feeling soft and clean. 

Lifestyle Changes During Rainy Days

• Carry a small kit in your bag including umbrella, tissues, hand sanitiser, spare socks/footwear if needed.

• Eat fresh, home cooked meals and avoid junk food. 

• Keep hydration level up even when you don’t feel as thirsty.

• Don’t let rain make you lazy, you can always switch to indoor exercise like using a treadmill, yoga, dance or pilates. 

At WeHerbal, we recommend following a Pitta-balance routine during the rains because your body needs more grounding, freshness and energy when it’s gloomy outside. You can also check out our product range for more details. Visit our official website.
