A simple monsoon skincare routine for Dhaka's humidity

Humid weather makes skin produce more oil, and sweat mixes with city dust to clog pores. The fix is not more products but lighter ones.

1. Gentle cleanser, twice a day

Use a low-foam, pH-balanced cleanser morning and night. Over-washing strips the barrier and triggers even more oil.

2. A water-based serum

Niacinamide or hyaluronic acid serums hydrate without heaviness and help control shine.

3. Gel moisturiser

Swap thick creams for a gel texture. Oily skin still needs moisture.

4. Sunscreen, every single day

Cloudy days still carry UV. Choose SPF 50 in a fluid or gel formula and reapply after sweating.

Tip: a monthly HydraFacial deep-cleans pores that daily cleansing cannot reach.
