These rays can cause fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation. Apply a good amount of sunscreen all over your body before you head out the door.

Cleansing

For monsoons, you need a cleanser that cleanses skin thoroughly but doesn’t strip your skin of moisture. Using a creamy moisturiser wouldn’t work out well either.
