Skincare Tips for Rainy Days

The rain is here and while you may think that it won’t do much for your skin — think again. As with all weather, your skin and your skin care routine need to adjust! Here are some tips on how you can keep your skin problems at bay even on rainy days.

Hydrate!

Try: Facial Spray with Aloe and Rose, Mario Badescu

We cannot stress this enough. Drink enough water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside and carry a bottle of facial mist with you for a quick pick-me-up.

Cleanse—always.

Try: Vital C hydrating facial cleanser

We know, we know. Sometimes it gets tedious to stick to our skin care regimen, but remember, dirt and bacteria are even more common during the rainy season due to increased moisture. Remember, always wash your face (and body) if you get wet. Because you’ll probably be cleansing a lot during rainy season, go for a gentle cleanser that you can use every day.

Serum, serum, serum!

Try: Vital C hydrating ACE serum

Serum not only helps the skin lock in moisture, they also helps balance your face’s pH levels, which the rain and added humidity might be throwing off!

Moisturize!

Try: Vital C hydrating hand and body lotion

Because of the constant changes in weather during rainy season (one day it’s raining, the next day it’s not), skin tends to become dry and itchy.

Sunscreen is still your best friend.

Try: PREVENTION+daily hydrating moisturizer SPF 30

Regardless of cloud cover, UV rays are still capable of damaging your skin once you’re outside so don’t forget to put on your facial sunscreen.

Go light on the makeup.

Aside from the obvious—read: waterproof mascara and eyeliner—steer clear of heavy moisturizers and foundation when humidity is high. We’ve all experienced the irritating face-melting effect of heavier makeup and high humidity, so instead try getting some color from a lightweight product like PREVENTION+ daily tinted moisturizer SPF 30, an oil-free universal sheer tint can be used as a moisturizer and makeup in one amazing product.
