3. Using Heavy Creams and Oily Products: Heavy creams and oil-based products can clog pores, causing breakouts and skin issues in humid monsoon weather. Instead, use lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturisers and serums that hydrate without making your skin greasy. This approach helps maintain skin balance and prevents pore congestion during the monsoon season. (Image source: Canva)

6. Over-Exfoliating: While exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells, overdoing it can strip your skin of essential oils and disrupt its natural barrier. Limit exfoliation to once or twice a month, and use gentle exfoliants suitable for your skin type based on recommendations from your dermatologist. (Image source: Canva)
