Travelling during the monsoon means dealing with unpredictable weather, high humidity, and increased risk of skin issues. Packing smart means choosing products that target core seasonal challenges. For every traveller, Candid Powder and Ekran Aqua Gel emerge as absolute must-haves for maintaining skin health and comfort in rainy months.
During travel in humid, rainy conditions, the body experiences excessive sweating, prolonged moisture, and exposure to fungal pathogens. This combination increases risks for sweat rashes, skin irritation, and UV-induced damage—even on overcast days.

Sweat rash and skin irritation
Fungal infections in skin folds
Sunburn and tanning from intermittent UV exposure
Candid Powder is a clinically proven antifungal powder that treats and prevents skin infections related to sweat, moisture, and friction. It contains clotrimazole, targeting fungi responsible for athlete’s foot, ringworm, and jock itch. During travel, especially in wet conditions or long commutes, its ability to absorb moisture and prevent skin irritation, redness, and itching keeps discomfort at bay.
Absorbs sweat and keeps skin dry
Stops fungal growth and prevents infection
Relieves itching and redness in the underarms, inner thighs, and feet
Safe for daily use on sensitive skin areas
Travel-friendly packaging for convenience
Ekran Aqua Gel is a broad-spectrum, SPF 30 PA+++ sunscreen gel that provides both physical and chemical protection against UVA and UVB rays. Monsoon weather often gives a false sense of security about sun exposure, but up to 80% of UV rays penetrate clouds and can cause photodamage and premature ageing. The lightweight, non-greasy, fast-absorbing formula ensures comfort on humid travel days, leaving no sticky residue.

Advanced UV protection against sunburn, tanning, and pigmentation
No greasy feel—ideal for high humidity
Water-resistant and sweat-proof, suitable for outdoor activities
Enriched with antioxidants for skin health
Dermatologist-recommended for all skin types
Apply Candid Powder to all high-friction and high-sweat areas before heading out. Reapply as needed, especially after walking or outdoor excursions.
Use Ekran Aqua Gel on exposed skin, even if the sky is cloudy. Reapply every 4-6 hours and after heavy sweating or swimming.
Keep both products in travel-friendly sizes in your bag for quick touch-ups and prevention during unexpected damp weather or long transits.
Whether trekking through the Western Ghats, exploring city markets, or enduring long train journeys, these products help prevent common skin dilemmas, allowing the focus to stay on adventure, not irritation.
Urban Commuters: Avoid sweat rashes with morning application of Candid Powder, and apply Ekran Aqua Gel before stepping out.

A: Yes, its non-greasy formulation absorbs easily and is suitable for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin.
Q: How often should Candid Powder and Ekran Aqua Gel be reapplied when travelling?
A: Candid Powder as needed after sweating; Ekran Aqua Gel every 4-6 hours or after outdoor activity or water exposure.
