The humid Mumbai summer can take its toll on your health, from gut to skin. In addition to slathering on sunscreen and altering your diet and skincare routine, you must also pay close attention to your wardrobe. “To avoid skin rashes and reactions from the excessive humidity during summers, it’s very important to wear breathable fabrics that are not only lightweight and breezy but also absorb sweat to keep our skin fresh and clean,” says Pooja Baheti, founder at Poppi—a homegrown fashion brand.
