During the pre-monsoon season, the combination of heat and strong UV exposure can increase transepidermal water loss (TEWL), leading to dry and sensitive skin. To combat this, focus on hydration, barrier repair, and sun protection. Use gentle cleansers, hydrating toners, antioxidant serums, and lightweight moisturisers with ceramides and hyaluronic acid. Sunscreen with SPF 50+ is essential to protect against UV damage. Avoid over-exfoliation, as it can further stress the skin barrier.
