Monsoon Skin: A Clinical Esthetician's Rainy-Season Routine
September 15, 2026
Humidity, fungal acne, and clogged pores — how to adjust your skincare protocol for the Nepali monsoon, straight from our clinical aesthetics program.
When the monsoon arrives, humidity spikes and so do fungal breakouts and clogged pores. Our clinical skincare students learn to re-protocol every client in June.
Switch to a gel cleanser
Cream cleansers that served you in dry winter will leave residue in humid air. A gentle gel formula with salicylic acid keeps pores clear.
Lighten the moisturizer
Swap occlusive balms for water-based gel moisturizers with hyaluronic acid.
Never skip sunscreen
Cloud cover does not block UVA rays. A lightweight SPF 50 every morning is the single most effective anti-aging step.
Keep a hydra-glow facial on the calendar
One professional deep-cleansing facial per month during monsoon prevents the buildup that home care can't reach.
