The monsoon season in Pune brings cool showers and refreshing weather, but it also comes with high humidity, clogged pores, and unpredictable skin concerns. From sudden acne breakouts to excess oiliness and dull skin, the rains often leave people confused about skincare.
Unfortunately, several myths about monsoon skincare only make things worse. At VLCC Wakad, under the expertise of Dr. Nupur, dermatologist and cosmetology expert, we are here to separate fact from fiction and share clear, science-backed advice to keep your skin healthy, glowing, and problem-free this season.
Myth 1: You don’t need sunscreen on cloudy days
Truth:
Up to 80% of UV rays still pass through clouds. Even on overcast days, harmful UVA and UVB rays damage your skin, causing premature aging, pigmentation, and tanning.
What to do:
Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ daily, even if you are indoors or driving. Choose a lightweight, non-greasy formula suitable for humid weather to avoid stickiness.
Myth 2: Oily skin doesn’t need moisturizer during monsoons
Truth:
Humidity can make your skin feel greasy, but skipping moisturizer causes dehydration. This forces the skin to produce more oil, leading to breakouts and dullness.
What to do:
Use a water-based or gel moisturizer that hydrates without clogging pores. At VLCC Wakad, we recommend dermatologically tested products tailored to your skin type to maintain a healthy skin barrier.
Myth 3: Frequent face washing prevents acne
Truth:
Over-washing strips away natural oils, irritating the skin and triggering excess sebum production, which worsens acne.
What to do:
Wash your face twice a day with a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser. For stubborn acne, consult Dr. Nupur for treatments such as medicated cleansers, chemical peels, or customized acne therapies.
Myth 4: You don’t need professional skincare during monsoon
Truth:
Seasonal humidity can worsen pigmentation, acne, and scalp issues. DIY remedies may not target the root cause, and delaying treatment can make the problems worse.
What to do:
A professional skincare consultation at VLCC Wakad ensures your skin gets exactly what it needs. From rejuvenation and hydration therapies to advanced facials and chemical peels, Dr. Nupur’s holistic approach provides long-term results instead of temporary fixes.
