Rainy mornings come in two moods. Cosy chai and cloud-nine skin, or oily T-zone chaos with a side of “why am I breaking out again?” Monsoon isn’t just about cute umbrellas and dramatic window reels. It’s about skin that suddenly decides to be moody, mysterious, and mildly unhinged. One minute, you’re glowing; the next, you’re dabbing your face with tissue like it’s a full-time job. At Westside, we know your skincare shouldn’t ghost you just because the skies got moody. Whether you’re commuting through drizzle, dancing in the rain – yes, main character energy, or just trying to keep your face from sliding off, your monsoon routine needs a little seasonal upgrade.
Humidity is a whole new vibe and your skin? She notices! That squeaky clean feeling on your face after a nice foamy wash might feel cute, just like in the commercials. But! It can also be drying your skin! So, what you really need is a gentle soap-free cleanser. It clears the gunk without taking your glow hostage. Now, follow it up with a lightweight moisturiser. This hydrates without turning you into an oil-slick!
And yes, we see you dodging sunscreen on cloudy days. But plot twist. UV rays still make it through, even when the sun’s playing hide and seek. So SPF? Always on!
Monsoon skin has one rule. Keep it light, fresh, and breathable! And if your skin’s feeling moody, like same! A once-a-week exfoliant can calm that chaos. Those dead skin, excess oil, and dullness don’t stand a chance against a good scrub. Just don’t overdo it though! We want glow, not redness. Now’s also the time to call in your serum squad – Vitamin C to brighten and keep hydration levels cute.
We’re also obsessed with how monsoon skincare can double as self-care. Face masks on a thundery evening? Yes. A relaxing cleanse after a muggy day? Always. Skincare is your excuse to slow down, breathe, and pretend you’re the star of a very aesthetic rainy day montage.
At Westside, we believe skincare should work with your life, not complicate it. No 12-step routines, no obscure ingredients. Just fuss-free favourites that make rainy days feel like fresh-skin days. Because your monsoon glow isn’t cancelled. It’s just getting started.
Pop into your nearest Westside store or shop online for skincare that keeps you glowing, even when it’s pouring.
