In India, Monsoons are synonymous with amazing rains, garam-garam chai and pyaaz ke pakode. It's no secret that we all eagerly await these seasonal showers because not only does everything look so much more beautiful but the climate also becomes cooler. That is until it starts to get humid. We're also aware of just how awful the humidity levels can get. And what's worse is that it takes a drastic toll on our skin and hair. While your hair tends to get all frizzy, your skin gets all oily and sticky. And that can turn into quite a nuisance. So, if like us you too are fed up of that stickiness on your skin, here are some tips that will come to your rescue.

One of the best things you can do to keep your skin oil and stickiness free is to opt for a clay mask. Clay masks usually contain ingredients that can dry out your blemishes and can get rid of excess oil from your skin. Once your mask dries up, wash it with water and you'll notice just how amazing your skin looks and feels.

Now that the climate is all humid, it's best to keep a face mist handy on you at all times. So, every time you feel your skin starting to get sticky, all you need to do is spritz some face mist onto your skin and it'll make your skin feel fresh instantly.

A hyaluronic acid serum works wonders on oily and sticky skin. Just apply a few drops on your skin and massage it well. The serum will drink up all the oil and will get rid of the sticky residue on your skin without causing any damage.

Ladies, let's just say you need to make blotting paper your BFF. The best thing about them is that they're made of absorbent materials and purifying ingredients that can help get rid of all the excess dirt, grime and sweat from your skin. Using blotting paper can come in rather handy when you're wearing makeup because it doesn't mess up your look at all.

If you're not a huge fan of talcum powder (because it leaves a white coat on your face, duh!) then you could always opt for a face powder instead. Opt for a translucent, loose powder that won't leave a sheen on your face and will help mattify your skin so that it doesn't feel or appear sticky.

If you're someone who's more prone to rashes and allergies then simple face powder won't come to your rescue. You'll have to opt for antifungal powders because they can help keep your skin refreshed without leaving behind any sort of odour or colour on your skin.

We're sure this is one product you've been aware of since forever. Lacto Calamine especially the one for oily skin contains kaolin clay which can help absorb oil. It can help mattify your skin and can leave it feeling fresh and dry.
