Monsoon Skin & Hair Care
Many of us love to get wet in the rain. Rains are fun. But, they can also spoil our fun, or cause “flooded” disruption to life.
Rains can rob your skin, or your beauty emblem, of its gloss, not to speak of undermining even the most ideal makeover into a dampened disaster. Constant care is, therefore, as much required, like any other time of the year. Put simply, it makes sense to keep your skin glowing and your hair lustrous during monsoon.
SKIN CARE
Have you noticed how your skin tends to wrinkle, shrink, and develop blemishes, during rains? Take care — just follow the fundamental rule of cleansing, toning and moisturising your skin, because when the skin pores clog, the resultant effect is often the much-dreaded acne (pimples), fungal infection and/or allergies.
The homeopathic remedy, Silicea is useful in treating acne. Chrysarobic Acid can help to treat generalised fungal infections, while Mercurius Solubilis is useful for fungal infection in the groin — a common monsoon malady. Fungal infections of the nails and in-between the toes are also just as common during monsoons; so, keep them clean and dry. Speak to your homeopathic doctor for appropriate dosages.
Avoid heavy make-up. Use water-resistant skin products, during the rainy season.
HAIR CARE
Dandruff and hair fall are common maladies during monsoon. You may think it is futile to set, style, and reinvent your hairstyle, during rains. This is not a good idea. It certainly makes sense to avoid that flat, damp or frizzy look, during the rainy season.
Conditioning and sporting a ponytail are good initiatives, because hair tangles easily during the wet season. Use a scarf to protect your hair from the wind and adverse damp conditions. Oiling and washing your hair, at least thrice a week, with lukewarm water is advisable.
Use a mild shampoo rather than lathering shampoos — the latter can dry and roughen your hair. Pamper yourself with a relaxing therapeutic and rejuvenating hair massage. It can revitalise damp hair roots and jazz-up your hair.
· Dry your hair with thin towels
· Avoid getting wet as humidity can damage your hair and lead to hair loss
· If you get drenched in the rain, wash your hair with a mild shampoo, and follow it up with a conditioner — to keep the scalp free of germs
· If you have dandruff, use a mild antidandruff shampoo.
Calcarea Sulphuricum is useful for scaly, dry dandruff. Kali Sulphuricum is effective for sticky yellow dandruff. Speak to your homeopathic doctor for appropriate dosages.
When dandruff persists in spite of the use of anti-dandruff shampoos or over-the-counter (OTC) homeopathic self-treatment products, you’d do well to consult a professional homeopathic doctor trained in trichology (the science of hair and scalp) to deal with the problem from the inside-out.
