Monsoon Beauty regimen – Do’s and Don’ts* Avoid facials and bleaching during this season. Facials make the skin rough and bleaching which is chemical oriented can do more harm than good.
* Never use dark shade lipsticks it is better if you wash the lip at night and apply milk cream.
* Remove old nail polish, apply lime juice on the nails and toes which gives a natural fresh look.
* Avoid using water-based makeup. Kajal (kohl) mascara or eyeliner can spoil the look with dirty smudges all over the face.
* Perming the hair during heavy showers is also not advisable.
