During monsoon, humidity level increases which lead to the higher production of sebum in the skin making it greasy. The oily and greasy looking skin produces more sweat and dirt particles stick to it quite easily. This clogs the pores leading to breakouts on the skin.

It is important to identify the right skin type and not to over-cleanse as this is a common mistake many people do. Over cleansing dry out the skin triggering more sebum secretion hence causing acne breakouts.

Forehead, cheeks, jawline, and neck are common acne-prone areas therefore clean these areas properly with a mild soap-free cleanser and apply appropriate light moisturizer as per the skin type.

2. On the other hand, applying too much makeup can also clog the skin pores leading to acne, therefore minimal makeup and complete skincare routine care should be followed for healthy and acne-free skin.
