Monsoon Style Hacks

Monsoon not only messes your clothes and shoes but also damage and mess up your hairstyle as well as skin and makeup. Girls become real worried for their monsoon looks while planning out for any trips and parties. Not only girls but guys also become way too irritated regarding their hairstyles while hanging out with their buddies. Believe it or not guys, it’s the fact that we girls easily notice.

Now, I have come up with some super easy and useful monsoon hacks to solve both men and women issues regarding their beauty and looks.

1. Sunscreen is a must. Do not ever dare to step out without your SPF 15 as monsoon often surprises you with strong pricking and harmful sun-rays when it stops raining.
2. Monsoon makes your eyebrows real unruly, hence you can apply some hairspray on it to brush it and keep them in place.
3. Always use little moisturizer before applying your concealer as it makes your skin look radiant and supple in monsoon too.
4. When it’s wet and soggy all around, it’s better to forget lighter shades on your lip rather go for darker ones to highlight your lips even if it’s raining.
5. Apply matte lipsticks or lip shades as wet lips or too much moisturized lips can hold your hair strands on your lips making it little awkward.
6. Go for lighter makeup with dark lips to avoid messy makeup issue. Avoid too much drama around your eyes, rather opt for messy and smoky eyeliner to look more natural.
7. Apply water proof mascara if you’re are a mascara lover to avoid messy eyes. But it’s always better to avoid foundation and mascara in monsoon.
8. No worries to remove darker lip shades as Vaseline can help you out to remove the shade easily by moisturizing your lips in return.
9. Frizzy, dry and tangled hair is a common problem in monsoon. Try cotton T-shirts instead of towels to fix your frizzy hair. Apply some mayonnaise for deep conditioning of your hair making it look shiny and glossier which is the most helpful monsoon beauty hack. Mayonnaise also repairs damaged hair, after applying blow dry your hair and after 20 minutes rinse your hair.
10. Men can use hair gel or hair spray to set their hair from getting messed up, unruly and frizzy.
11. Girls usually worry about their monsoon hairdos because there are maximum chances to get messed up hairstyle with stickiness. So better go with low or high buns, side braids, French braids or even let your hair untied to look more natural.
12. Wet days often fade away your fragrance that needs to last all day long but rainy days comes with mud and dirt stinky smells all over. Mix your perfume with a little Vaseline to rub on your neck, wrists, back of your ears and chest for long lasting fragrance.
13. Another common issue related to monsoon is stinky and unhygienic feet. One of the best monsoon beauty hack is exfoliating and scrubbing your feet to get rid of dirt, mud and bacteria to stop infection.
14. Metal jewelleries in monsoon can give you skin rashes, rather go for plastic accessories to look more sassy and trendy.
15. Try to avoid wearing whites in monsoon as it has more chances of getting dirty and transparent when wet. Better go for some bright colourful outfits to glow yourself in the crowd.
16. Avoid wearing denims as denims take long to time to get dry compared to other fabrics. Polyester and Lycra are some suitable fabrics for monsoon as they are wrinkle free and easy to dry.
17. Dressing according to monsoon is very important as no one wants their expensive skits, patialas, formal pants, jeans, salwars to get muddy and soggy. Instead of fully covered lowers, go for shorts, knee length skirts, capris, calf length leggings, cargo shorts etc.
