Do you know that not only humidity but also pollution during rains is a reason for acne and pimples. The combination of these two causes great harm to the health of our skin. It is very hot in North India from April to September. Heat also plays a big role in spoiling the health of the skin. Due to humidity, heat, sweat and dirt, our pores start getting clogged. Experts say that lack of care is the biggest cause of pimples or acne.

Does this also happen with your skin during the rainy season? In this article we will tell you why this happens? What are its scientific reasons and what methods can you adopt for prevention? Know….

Connection of moisture and skin

It is said that there are 20 to 40 lakh sweat glands in the human body. They become more active due to heat and humidity. Sweat contains water and salt. It does not harm the skin, but if it does not dry quickly then the problem increases. In such a situation, the outer stratum corneum of the skin starts weakening and the pores start closing. In such situations, more pimples appear.

clogged pores

Experts say that if the pores are closed and the dead cells are not able to come out. Due to their getting stuck inside, blackheads, whiteheads and pimples start occurring. Therefore, scrubbing must be done from time to time in humid and hot weather.

How does pollution become the cause?

PM 2.5 particles are present in the air, apart from this, sunlight, soil and other types of pollution settle on our skin. These particles, along with the natural oil of the skin, get deposited in the pores. Along with the particles, harmful things like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and metals also enter the skin and the damage increases rapidly.

oxidative stress

When pollution particles enter the skin, the problem of inflammation and extra oil increases. In such a situation, due to the humidity of monsoon, deterioration in sebum production and lack of care, bacteria in the skin grow rapidly. Bacteria called Cutibacterium acnes grow rapidly in heat and humidity. This bacteria only increases pimples.

Keep these things in mind

1. If you want to keep your skin naturally healthy in humid and hot weather, then adopt such methods which will help in not clogging the pores.
2. Use lightweight and non-comedogenic sunscreens because they do not clog our pores.
3. Face washes and cleansers containing salicylic acid remove dirt from the skin and correct the impaired oil production process.
4. If you are coming from outside, clean the skin thoroughly because by doing this the pollution particles do not remain on the skin for long.
5. The most important thing is to consume Vitamin C items and consume the food items made from it in the right manner. This vitamin reduces inflammation and also protects from the damage of free radicals. However, serums containing niacinamide also give best results.
