5 Skincare Products Every Indian Skin Needs During the Rainy Season

Monsoon is that confusing season where your skin doesn't know whether to hydrate or go into full oil-slick mode. One minute you're glowing, the next you're greasing up like a dosa pan. From unexpected breakouts to dullness and clogged pores, the rainy season brings with it a unique set of skincare curveballs.

But don’t worry, we’ve gowturing five The Body Shop favourites that deserve a permanent spot in your monsoon shelfie.

Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash – Your Skin’s Personal Bouncer

Any list of monsoon skincare products is incomplete without a solid cleanse. And not just any cleanse but the kind that actually gets rid of gunk, excess oil, and those little monsoon pimples that pop up out of nowhere.

The Body Shop’s Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash is packed with purifying tea tree oil straight from the foothills of Mount Kenya. No dirt, no oil, no breakouts allowed. It’s perfect for oily or acne-prone skin that tends to throw tantrums during this humid weather.

Use it morning and night and feel that refreshing zing as it deep cleans without being harsh.

Vitamin C Glow Revealing Serum – Say Goodbye to Dull, Hello to Dewy

The monsoon cloud cover isn’t just blocking sunlight, it’s dulling your skin too. If your glow’s gone into hiding, it’s time to bring out the big guns.

Our Vitamin C Glow Revealing Serum is basically your bottle of bottled-up sunshine. Made with 10% Vitamin C and nature’s secret weapon, bakuchiol, this serum helps revive tired-looking skin, even out tone, and boost radiance.

Add it to your monsoon skincare routine right after cleansing and toning, and boom your glow is back on the guest list.

Seaweed Oil-Control Exfoliator – Bye-Bye, Build-Up

Let’s talk exfoliation. Because between dead skin cells, pollution, and sticky sweat, your pores are under siege. And we all know what clogged pores lead to... breakouts.

That’s where The Body Shop’s Seaweed Oil-Control Exfoliator jumps in. Think of it as a gentle but firm wake-up call for your skin. Infused with mineral-rich seaweed from Ireland, it helps buff away dead skin and balance out oil production without turning your face into the Sahara.

Use it 2-3 times a week for rainy season skin care.

Vitamin E Gel Moisture Cream – The Perfect Lightweight Hug

Now, just because it’s humid doesn’t mean you skip moisturiser. Repeat after us: hydration is not the enemy. In fact, not moisturising can send your oil glands into overdrive.

The Vitamin E Gel Moisture Cream is The Body Shop’s answer to that “I want moisture but I don’t want to feel sticky” dilemma. It’s light, non-greasy, and absorbs fast. Plus, it hydrates for 48 hours and keeps your skin plump and comfy even on the gloomiest of days.

Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask – Your Detox Day Bestie

Finally, let’s talk about the big glow-up. With bamboo charcoal, tea tree oil, and green tea leaves, our Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask deep-cleans pores and draws out impurities like a magnet. Think of it as a mini facial that leaves you glowing, purified, and ready to take on the world (or at least your inbox).

Use it once a week and bask in that spa-day-at-home energy.

Final Drizzle of Thoughts

The rainy season might be a rollercoaster for your skin, but with the right monsoon skincare products in your arsenal, you can ride the wave like a pro. Whether it’s battling breakouts, balancing oil, or reviving your glow, The Body Shop has something to keep every skin type happy this monsoon.

So go ahead, dance in the rain, but don’t forget to treat your skin right while you're at it.
