How to Take Care of Skin in Monsoon Naturally – Indian Girl’s Real Routine 2025

Monsoon Skincare Routine 2025 – My Personal Glow-Up Ritual for the Rainy Season

Let’s be real for a second—as much as I love sipping chai near the window on a rainy afternoon, my skin absolutely hates the monsoon. I used to struggle every year with breakouts, oily patches, and that weird dull look no matter how many products I used. But over time (and many experiments), I finally found a routine that works like magic 🌧️✨

In this blog, I’m sharing my real, no-fuss Monsoon Skincare Routine for 2025. These are the same steps I follow every day to keep my skin fresh, balanced, and breakout-free. No fluff—just what works!

🌧️ Why Does Skin Misbehave During Monsoon?

Humidity = more sweat + oil → leads to clogged pores and acne
Sudden weather changes = skin imbalance
Fungal infections due to moisture around the nose/forehead
Dullness from less sun and too much pollution

Monsoon Skincare Routine For Skin Protection and Glowing Skin

🌤️ Morning Routine – Start Fresh, Stay Matte

1. Gentle Cleanser

First thing after waking up, I wash my face with a gel-based cleanser. Foaming ones dry me out, but gels keep it soft and clean.

What I use: Plum Green Tea Face Wash / Minimalist Salicylic Cleanser

2. Pore-Tightening Toner

Trust me, toning in monsoon is a MUST. I use an alcohol-free toner with cucumber or witch hazel.

Try: Dot & Key Cica Toner or Biotique Cucumber Toner

3. Oil-Free Moisturizer

Even though it's humid, skipping moisturizer is a big mistake. Go for gel or water-based ones that absorb fast.

Fave pick: Neutrogena Hydro Boost

4. Sunscreen (Don’t skip!)

I didn’t take this seriously earlier, but cloudy weather still has UV. Choose matte, water-resistant sunscreen.

My go-to: Aqualogica Dewy Sunscreen or Re’equil Matte Finish SPF

🌙 Night Routine – Calm, Repair, Hydrate

1. Double Cleansing

If I wore sunscreen or light makeup, I use micellar water first, then a mild cleanser.

Tip: Don’t scrub too hard. Just take your time.

2. Gentle Exfoliation (2–3x a week)

Exfoliation helps a LOT with the clogged feeling I get around my nose and chin. I use BHAs or Multani mitti DIY masks.

3. Spot Treatment or Serum

If I see breakouts or dullness, I alternate between vitamin C and niacinamide.

4. Hydrating Moisturizer

Even at night, I keep it light. A little goes a long way.
