Looking for the Clouds for the first rain of the season is always a sight. And who does not want to get drenched in the first rain, reliving our childhood. But as a grown person some apprehensions definitely crop in our minds like itching, rashes and allergies on our skin, face and body.
With rain in the tropical heat conditions of 35 degree C and above like in Delhi , high humidity also brings with it continuous sweating and sebum oozing out of our Face, and that even the mild sunlight can play havoc with Sun Tan, burning sensation and even dehydration of the skin. Even Gastric Acidity and Indigestion (Very much a part of Rainy season health hazard) makes our skin more vulnerable and susceptible for Skin disorders.
High humidity at 30 plus C temperature is also associated with huge Mood swings and you need to relax your nervous system as well as stress related disorders. This can otherwise play havoc with your face, Hair and Body.
Over acidity and indigestion cause dip in your facial pH level prompting more Allergies, Tanning and Loss in Skin Glow. Rehydration of Skin and body through high intake of Fluids, Fruit Juices, Easy to digest Salads and foods with high fibre content can help in bringing back the lost lusture.
Here are a few combinations that work wonder on your skin in rainy season:
