Taking care of your skin in humid weather

Ludhiana, June 25, 2016: Hot and humid weather may be able to save your skin from the winter dryness and itchiness but at the same time, the moisture in weather leaves your skin oily and greasy resulting in acnes and blemishes. But, with the right treatment you can save your skin from all the problems and keep it soft and supple, said Dr Sunil Gupta (Professor & Head of Dermatology).
Dr Sukhjot Kaur (Associate Professor) said that when the humidity levels are high, your face tends to get greasy. So, to keep away that oily look, you need to cleanse your skin with an oil free face wash at least twice a day. You must also use a cleanser after you get up in the morning and before you go off to sleep. She also suggested that one should drink at least 7-8 glasses of water a day to maintain hydration levels as the skin loses a lot of water due to sweating.
Dr Vidushi Malhotra (Assistant Professor of Dermatology) advised not to wear a lot of make up during hot and humid weather conditions. They tend to get in your pores and eventually block them. She said for those who have very sensitive skin, it is best to avoid heavy jewellery altogether. Humidity can cause breakouts if your skin comes into contact with anything irritable. So, avoid jewellery around your neck and wrists and allow your pores to breathe.
