We are in the middle of a pandemic and we are in lockdown. Our day-to-day services and routine have now been disturbed.

While remaining inside our home has given an advantage for our skin to rejuvenate, factors like temperature, pollutants, lack of fresh air, etc. can have adverse effects on our skin. Also, change in diet, activity, and air can cause breakouts, dryness, and many skin reactions. Apart from all these things, there is always something missing which we need to do or not to in order to take care of the skin. This is why you cannot trade lightly on your skincare.

Here we have listed a few tips along with your regular facial routines that will help in retaining your perfect glowing skin:

Wash Your Face:

Even though you are inside throughout the day and not exposed to pollution, dust, and dirt as much as you used to, it is still important to clean your face regularly. You can use your favourite face wash that suits your skin well. You can even try a few good face washes that are available that you know will help you.

Try to wash your face in lukewarm or water at room temperature because hot water makes your skin dry and breaks down your skin’s protective barrier. While a hot water shower can be relaxing, it actually removes your skin’s natural oils, making your already dry skin drier.

Apply Moisturizer:

It’s no fact that dry skin needs hydration. Moisturizers are such product that maintains balance and nourishes dry skin. Using a good moisturizer on a cleansed and slightly damped skin helps it to get fully absorbed by the skin, providing excellent results.

The moisturizer doesn’t allow the moisture to escape from your skin and helps the skin to retain its hydration for a longer period of time. Applying a rich, cream-based moisturizer also helps in retaining skin’s elasticity making your skin look fresh and glowing.

Get Some Vitamin C:

Trapped indoors doesn’t mean harmful particles won’t affect your skin. They are always present in the atmosphere and can cause issues like changes in skin tone weak skin and even wrinkles. The best way to avoid the risk of such issues is antioxidants.

Skincare products that are enriched with vitamin c are loaded with antioxidants that protect the skin and fight against harmful particles. Before buying any skin products such as face wash, face scrub, moisturizing cream, etc. make sure it has vitamin C.

Use Sheet Masks:

Imagine having a spa just for your face, that’s what sheet masks are. As you are now in lockdown, you have plenty of time to use the sheet masks. Sheet masks are rich in vitamin B3 that hydrate and heal your skin, bringing back th3e skin’s natural glow.

Using a cold sheet mask is a great way to relax and indulge yourself in a perfect face pampering session. For better results, you can use the sheet masks 2 – 3 times a week. Sheet masks improve circulation, decongest pores, and remove excess dead cells.

Healthy Diet:

Our skin is the largest organ of our body and its health is influenced by what we eat. Our skin goes through many renewals and repairs. A proper diet with essential nutrients maintains our skin’s beauty and health. You need to follow a diet that has a wide range of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and lean protein.

Foods like oranges, spinach, and broccoli are rich in vitamin C. Nuts, seeds, olives have high vitamin E content. Zinc helps in repairing dead tissue and you can find it in seafood, ginger, mushrooms, whole grains, etc. Alpha-lipoic acids are rich in antioxidants and can be found in carrots, beets, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, etc.

Use this lockdown as an opportunity to redefine your skin that has been through a lot. Apart from the above-mentioned tips, you need to drink plenty of water, at least 3 – 4 litres per day, and get plenty of sleep, at least 7 – 8 hours. Our skin will keep on ageing and it is our duty to maintain its glow and health. If you want to avail facial or clean-up services during this lockdown, you can book TechSquadTeam.
