The monsoon season brings relief from the scorching summer heat—but it also brings high humidity, clogged pores, fungal infections, and unpredictable skin behavior. Many people follow traditional advice or quick-fix remedies, which may actually harm the skin. In this blog, we bust the most common monsoon skincare myths and replace them with Ayurvedic truths that truly work.
Myth 1: You Don’t Need Sunscreen on Cloudy Days
Busted!
UV rays penetrate clouds. Even during rains, your skin is exposed to harmful UVA/UVB rays.
Ayurvedic Tip:
Apply a herbal sunscreen or natural aloe vera gel mixed with sandalwood before stepping out. Ayurvedic ingredients like Yashtimadhu (Licorice) and Kumkumadi Tailam offer natural sun protection.
Myth 2: Oily Skin Doesn’t Need Moisturization in Monsoon
Busted!
Humidity doesn’t mean hydration. Your skin might still be dry from within.
Ayurvedic Tip:
Use a lightweight herbal moisturizer made with ingredients like neem, manjistha, or rosewater. These balance oil while keeping the skin nourished.
Myth 3: You Should Wash Your Face Frequently
Busted!
Over-washing can strip away natural oils and disturb the skin’s pH balance.
Ayurvedic Tip:
Cleanse your face 2-3 times daily using a gentle Ayurvedic cleanser like besan (gram flour) mixed with turmeric and raw milk to keep skin clean without causing dryness.
Myth 4: Pimples During Monsoon Are Just a Phase
Busted!
Monsoon acne can be due to increased sebum, sweat, and bacterial buildup.
Ayurvedic Tip:
Apply a paste of neem leaves, multani mitti, and rosewater twice a week. Internal detox with herbs like triphala and guduchi can also reduce breakouts.
Myth 5: Natural Home Remedies Are Always Safe
Busted!
Not all natural remedies suit every skin type. Lemon, for example, can cause burns in humid weather.
Ayurvedic Tip:
Consult a certified Ayurvedic dermatologist for dosha-based skincare. Ayurveda believes in personalized care—what works for one may not work for another.
Ayurvedic Skincare Tips for the Monsoon
Drink warm herbal teas with tulsi and ginger to keep your skin clear from within. Perform abhyanga (self-massage) with Ayurvedic oils like nalpamaradi to improve blood flow and skin texture. Avoid dairy-heavy, oily foods during the monsoon—they increase Kapha, leading to dull skin and breakouts. Add triphala churna to your daily routine for a gentle detox.
