As the monsoon season progresses, many people may notice their skin becoming clammy, with an oily sheen on their foreheads and dry patches on their cheeks. Increased breakouts and a tight, uncomfortable feeling after being out in the rain are common indicators that the skin is in need of serious hydration. Despite higher humidity levels, skin can become dry and irritated during this time, necessitating enhanced hydration efforts.
Shaheen Khalily, Area Head at Myrah, clarifies that it is a misconception that skin does not need additional hydration during the monsoon season. She explains, “The monsoon can actually be very drying for the skin. Rain, humidity, and occasional sun exposure can strip the skin of its natural oils and hydration, leading to flakiness, dryness, and breakouts.” Proper hydration is essential not only for maintaining a healthy appearance but also for reinforcing the skin’s protective barrier against environmental pollutants and germs.
To help keep your skin well-moisturized despite the damp conditions, Khalily recommends the following five spa treatments:
Detox Polish: This full-body treatment involves exfoliating the skin to remove dead cells and stimulate cell regeneration. The detox polish also moisturizes the skin, reduces cellulite, and enhances skin tone and texture. The exfoliation process promotes blood flow, delivering essential nutrients and antioxidants throughout the body while also serving as an anti-aging technique.
Hot Stone Asian Blend Massage: Combining the benefits of hot stone therapy with various traditional massage techniques from Chinese, Balinese, Japanese, and Thai practices, this treatment uses smooth, heated stones placed on key points of the body. The heat helps relax muscles, alleviate tension, and improve circulation, which aids in detoxifying the skin and promoting overall well-being.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage: This treatment enhances the flow of lymph, a fluid that helps remove waste products and toxins from the body. By reducing swelling and supporting the immune system, this massage improves skin texture and tone, leading to a healthier complexion.
Luxury Envelopment: This treatment involves applying a hydrating massage cream to the entire body, followed by wrapping in a warm thermal blanket. The heat from the blanket helps the cream absorb into the skin and reduces water retention. A relaxing head massage during the treatment also helps relieve stress and stimulate blood circulation.
AINHOA Hyaluronic Facial: Focused on deep hydration, this luxurious facial uses hyaluronic acid, known for its moisture-retaining properties, to plump and refresh the skin. Ideal for dry and sensitive skin, this treatment provides a gentle yet effective solution for maintaining a youthful and healthy complexion.
