Sad but true, we all have almost kept those homemade skincare solutions somewhere in the corner. We have nearly abandoned these homemade facial packs, haven’t we? Of course, the internet is full of skin products; who’s going to make an effort for those homemade skincare recipes if you get something instant.

But have you ever given a thought to why all these synthetic products won’t make any difference? Even though sometimes they do, you would agree that they also bring or worsen skin conditions like acne and dryness. No offense, but yes, they do! 

Ok, not weighing out between both synthetic and natural and let’s move forward without making any further fuss.

In-home skin spa!

Ahem, you are looking for some homemade facial packs, aren’t you!

Well, you are in between festivities and merrymaking? Dresses, footwear, jewelry is all set down, but your very teenage daughter is not really happy and her lifeless, dull skin. She’s worried that this will prevent her from looking her best. But you don’t really want her to use chemical-based skin products yet. I mean, everyone believes, and of course, it is genuine; teens’ skin could be at risk if exposed to these chemically made cosmetics. 

You’ll definitely be worried if your kid starts using cosmetics too early. Exposures to chemicals like  Parabens, Phthalates, Formaldehyde, and what sounds so horrible! Can you even imagine all these on your daughter’s face? 

Hormones work double-quick time to develop the reproductive system within the endocrine system, the brain, bones, blood, and immune system. Needless to say, It’s a delicate time that can easily be destroyed if exposed to such chemicals. I mean, juvenescence is obviously a pivotal time in the growth of humans! 

Even though cosmetic procedures significantly impact skin at a certain age. Wrinkles, sagging, and aging is really not part of your young lady’s life right now; don’t make her take the part of the cosmetic panorama just now. Let’s try some old school skincare tips and solutions for your girl. Here you go…

First and foremost!

Know her skin type!

This is so usual yet important to know the skin type. Dermatologists, too, recommend learning the skin type before using any natural or synthetic skincare product. So make sure you and your daughter keep the skin type in mind before trying any skin care recipe, natural or artificial, no matter what! Sometimes, even the natural ingredients can be incompatible; they won’t be as effective and aggravate skin conditions.

Don’t worry; you’ll be able to understand what type of skin your daughter has quickly. 

The type of skin basically depends on the amount of water and oil in the skin. Suppose, if the skin appears shiny and has too much oil, it may be an oily skin type, i.e. more prone to acne outbreaks.

Here’s how to make spa-worthy face masks

You know what the secret of glowing  and healthy skin is hidden in your pantry! Try these three easy to make straight from the kitchen skin care recipes, and give your teen a healthy and glowing skin.

1.Tomato & Lemon Face mask

This is one of the most basic yet effective face packs  that you can make in a jiffy. I mean just a tomato and a lemon to get a salon-like effect. This pack will help in removing tan on the skin, leaving it brighter and beautiful. You can even use this on your skin. Bingo!

All you need is; Tomato puree (one tomato) and two tablespoons of lemon juice. 

Here are the steps:

  • Mix the above mentioned ingredients well and you can add a few drops of honey too, and apply on her face and neck.
  • 20 minutes, wait wait wait! 
  • Then wash it off with cold water.

2. Avocado Face Mask

Besides eating guacamole or spreading it on a warm piece of toast, avocado can be used on the skin. The benefits are many: this super nutritious fruit contains fats, vitamins, and minerals. 

Here are the steps:

  • Grab an avocado from your fridge and eliminate the pit from the half-cut avocado.
  • Gently scrape the fruit’s flesh into a bowl, and mash it until you obtain a creamy and smooth paste without any lumps using a fork.
  • You can also add one tbsp. honey and olive oil. (optional)
  • Needless to say, do let your daughter wash her face before applying the pack! 
  • Apply the avocado pack on her clean skin and let it for almost 10-15 minutes.
  • Right after, wash off her face with plain water.

Already warning!

Prefer a patch test before applying avocado as it might not be the right fruit to suit her skin; if she has a skin allergy to avocado, please don’t use it!

3. Egg white Face Mask

This is your daughter’s age when she gets tons of blackheads and pimples; well, egg white got it covered! All you need is an egg (basically the egg white), just a spoonful of lime juice. 

Here are the steps:

  • Beat the egg white with a beater until it turns frothy, and add lime juice to it.
  • Apply the mixture gently to your daughter’s face and leave it for 15-20 minutes.
  • Finally, make your child wash off the pack with warm water.

Also, below are a few things to consider while using homemade face packs:

  • Make sure you use fresh ingredients always while making these packs.
  • Don’t keep face packs for a long time after making them; use them on the same day and don’t store them for later use.
  • You can make a new pack when you want to use it again.
  • Forget not to wash your (her) face with gentle soap before applying any pack.
  • While applying face packs, don’t cover sensitive areas like areas around the eyes.
  • When it comes to rinsing, always do that with regular or lukewarm water to remove the pack, pat dry the skin, and always finish with a rosewater spray.
  • If you (she) feel the skin is getting dry, try applying a small amount of moisturizer or almond oil; virgin coconut oil might help.

The bottom line

Adolescence can be quite tough on the skin for many, but it’s not impossible to keep it healthy and fresh. Apart from regular beauty care, it is equally important to drink lots of water and get a good amount of sleep, rest, and exercise; make sure your daughter follows this too! Taking good care of her skin early on will prevent long-term complications and help your child retain youthfulness for a long time.

How To Prepare a Holistic Approach to Glowing Skin? https://penloom.com/how-to-prepare-a-holistic-approach-to-glowing-skin/ https://penloom.com/how-to-prepare-a-holistic-approach-to-glowing-skin/#respond Thu, 24 Nov 2022 05:03:15 +0000 https://penloom.com/?p=6373 The primary goal of a skincare routine is to spot changes within yourself. It is all about controlling the damage and targeting specific areas you wish to work on, not achieving perfection. 

Most of us fail to realise that our skin changes and its needs shift with time, so should your skincare product. It is wise to choose products with a varied composition that will suit specific skin requirements. But skincare is not as complicated as your product list. It is just a three-step saga.

The three basic steps to skincare are:

  • Cleansing: To remove the dirt off your face
  • Toning: To balance the skin
  • Moisturising: To hydrate the skin

Letting these three fundamental steps become a ritual is embracing your skin. 

Although the evolution of skincare products has come far from where it started, there is still no such thing as an overnight fix! 

Two basic mantras will help curb your anxiety over slow results. 

The mantras are:

  • Don’t rush! Consistency is the key to skincare!
  • At least give six weeks of regular application to get visible results.

1. Cleansing

The basic rule is that you apply the product in the order of consistency. The order goes from thinnest to thickest. 

 Start with Cleanser! 

Cleansing is the most basic and essential step in the routine. It includes gentle washing of the dirt and pollutants off the face. It is suggested that you should start and end your day by washing your face to prevent the clogging of pores, acne breakouts, and blackhead build-up. 

Find ‘THE’ cleanser

The right product will clean your face without leaving your face devoid of essential oils. Also, take it easy on exfoliating scrubs, especially those containing abrasive ingredients such as crushed walnut shells. 

Skin Type

Cleanser Type

Action

Oily or Acne-prone skin

Foaming wash

The light foamy wash helps clear off the excess sebum and dirt from the pores. 

Eczema prone or dry skin

Cream wash

These cleansers are enriched with oils like glycerine or shea butter. These oils remove the impurities and also hydrates the skin. 

Sensitive Skin

Oil-based wash

The oil absorbs oil. The cleansers are non-comedogenic, hydrating and are well tolerated. 

Mature skin

A melting balm

The balms are very soothing on the skin. They come in butter-like consistency but turn into liquid when applied to the skin. These can be used to dissolve heavy makeup.

Neutral to all skin types

Micellar Water

A soap-free cleanser, a staple of french routines. The cleanser attracts dirt like a magnet without causing any rashes or dryness. The best part is that you don’t need to rinse it or clean it afterwards.

The first thing that comes to mind of many on toner’s name is the astringent from the 80s. The stinging, alcohol-based product was meant to dry the oily skin and remove extra dirt.

But today’s toners are formulated as supplements; these thin liquids give an extra shot of nutrients and help absorb the other nutrients better and tune your complexion. Although the toner is entirely optional, but it is better to add additional products for great and glowy skin. 

If you are willing to go an extra mile, then mentioned are some of the hero ingredients to look forward to:

  • Alpha and beta hydroxy acids to rectify the sun-damaged skin, minimise dullness and gently exfoliate dead skin cells that have the potential to clog pores
  • Hyaluronic acid treats fine lines, boosts hydration and seals moisture.
  •  Rosewater and green tea are great ingredients that provide an anti-inflammatory effect. It calms the irritated skin and reduces skin redness.
  • Vitamin E and C are antioxidants, and they can be added to your routine to fight the free radicals responsible for skin ageing.

2. Serums:

Serums are skin’s powerful allies. They are rich inactive ingredients, which act as elixirs against several issues like wrinkles, pigmentation, blemishes etc. You don’t need to have specific problems using a serum; every skin needs an antioxidant serum. Serums are available in limitless ingredient combinations; thus, the market is flooded with options. 

Below are some serums that can be used for particular skin issues. 

  • Hyaluronic acid is a great hydrating agent! It strengthens the top layer of the skin to prevent moisture loss. 
  • Vitamin C helps to brighten up the dull skin, and it can also help lighten the dark spots after prolonged use. 
  • Vitamin B3, retinol and peptides promote the production of elastin and collagen. These are the proteins that help to prevent skin sagging and lines. 
  • Niacinamide and colloidal sulphur are used for irritation and redness; they act by controlling inflammation. The serum possesses antimicrobial effects, which helps in improving Acne.

3. Moisturising

As we age, the skin loses its ability to retain moisture, and regular cleansing can leave the skin devoid of natural oils from the surface. Therefore, experts recommend using a moisturiser throughout the year because moisturisers prevent water loss and complement the naturally produced oil and other building blocks, such as ceramide. 

How to pick ‘THE’ Moisturiser?

Just like cleansers, moisturisers are skin-specific products. Moisturiser texture differs depending on the skin type.  

For example, 

Water-based moisturisers are best suited for oily skin because they are lightweight and absorbed quickly into the skin. 

Oil-based moisturisers which are heavier than lotion are best suited for dry skin. 

The classic moisturisers absorb well into the skin. Therefore, they are the best fit for normal or combination skin.

The balm has a heavier texture and is highly effective for inflamed and sensitive skin.

4. Sunscreen

Sunscreen is the most critical step of the daily skincare regimen year-round. There are multiple benefits of using sunscreen daily such as they prevent fine lines, textural imperfections and wrinkles. The most crucial role of sunscreen is that it helps prevent skin cancer formation. Experts recommend using a moisturiser with a built-in broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or more to avoid putting an extra layer.

Is Glowing skin = Good skincare regime?

Glowing skin is healthy skin, and it is not entirely the reflection of what you put on it, but your diet too. What goes inside you is greatly reflected on your skin. For instance, consecutive days of junk eating can result in breakouts, and there is no similar impact of successive days of healthy eating.

Eat your way up to glowing skin:

At Least five portions:

Fruits and vegetables are rich sources of antioxidants, which provide you protection against antioxidants. Therefore, if you eat sufficient portions of fruits and vegetables, you can protect your skin from the damage caused by antioxidants.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C has tons of benefits, such as being rich in antioxidants, boosting the immune system, etc. But most importantly, it promotes radiant and blemish-free skin. Rich sources of vitamin C are strawberries, oranges, lemon, sweet potatoes etc.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E tops the list of foods that are good for the skin. It protects skin against oxidative cellular damage and promotes healthier skin. Almonds, hazelnuts, Avocado, corn oils etc. are the richest sources of Vitamin E

Water Water Water!

Skin needs continuous hydration to stay elastic and soft; mild dehydration can cause it to go dry, tired and stretched. Apart from the moisturisers you use to keep the skin hydrated, water is essential for naturally glowing skin. It is advised to drink six to eight glasses of water daily. Some fruits and vegetables like watermelon, cucumber etc., are also rich sources of water.

Good fat

There are two types of fats: good fats and bad fats. 

Good fats or MUFA & PUFA can benefit your skin in numerous ways. They act as natural moisturisers, improve skin elasticity, are rich sources of Vitamin E, and protect skin against free radicals. Hence, not all fats are bad.

Omega 3 & 6:

Omega 3 and Omega 6 fats constitute essential fatty acids.

 Essential fatty acids can not be synthesised in the body; therefore, they need to be consumed from external sources. Chia seed, rapeseed oil and walnuts are rich sources of essential fatty acids. Ensure you get enough omega-3 and omega-6 fats because the only way you can fulfil the deficiency is through diet. The animal-based source for the Omegas is the oily fish, and plant-based sources are chia seeds, rapeseed oil and walnuts. 

Omega- 3s are emphasised because of their ability to encourage anti-inflammatory products in the body; these products act against conditions like psoriasis and eczema.

It is a ritual!

It looks like you will need to make a lot of effort to have clear skin!

But this is not the case; you need to follow a healthy routine religiously. A balanced lifestyle that includes sufficient sleep, exercise, a good diet, and a good care regime will provide you with healthy skin and a healthy body. 

If you glow from inside you, glow from outside.

Small steps every day will yield results.

Top Benefits of Adding Vitamin D to Your Skincare Routine https://penloom.com/top-benefits-of-adding-vitamin-d-to-your-skincare-routine/ https://penloom.com/top-benefits-of-adding-vitamin-d-to-your-skincare-routine/#respond Tue, 22 Nov 2022 11:35:33 +0000 https://penloom.com/?p=6049 A perfect amount of vitamins makes our body healthy and balanced. Skin, hair, and the internal system all are connected to get the benefits. One of the essential vitamins is “Sunshine Vitamin.” It is another name for vitamin D. Like others, it has its role to help our skeleton function properly.

Today, we will tell you about the skincare benefits of vitamin D. People are getting aware of adding it to their daily meals to be healthy. Maintaining it in our body will provide nourished hair and skin.  

To provide you with the overall picture of the advantages of vitamin D, we will start from the signs of deficiency to the value in skincare and the rich resources to get this vital unit.

SIGNS OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY

The symptoms due to vitamin D deficiency in our bodies are listed below. Have a glance at these and be alert:

Muscle pain

If there are constant aches and pains in the muscles that are not getting any relief for a long time could be because of vitamin D deficiency. Take it and try to manage the levels. It may help to keep the unwanted muscle pains away.

Sweat excessively

Sweating happens when the temperature is high. But suppose we sweat even when it is not the condition around. In that case, it may be a signal to identify the low vitamin D. The solution to this is to consult the expert about this and check whether it is not the deficiency of the sunshine vitamin.

Fatigue

Many people feel tired even after getting complete rest and cannot perform their daily tasks. This lack of energy may be telling us that we need the vitamin D dosage to work with vitality.

More hair fall than usual

Unhealthy hair is also the result of a body lacking “sunshine vitamin.” To nourish the hair and scalp, we must add it to our diet and see its benefits. 

Above are a few symptoms because of the low amount of vitamin D in our body. If we feel any of these, we need to consult the doctor first and confirm it.

vitamin d benefits for your skin

WHAT IS THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MELANIN AND VITAMIN D?

Melanin is a pigment that helps color our skin, hair, and eyes. People with dark skin have more melanin than those with lighter skin. Melanin protects us from the harmful UV radiation from the Sun.

Melanin also affects vitamin D synthesis in our bodies. When we sunbathe, the cholesterol in our bodies turns into vitamin D. It gets transformed when it moves to the liver and kidneys. Hence, melanin and vitamin D are connected.

SKINCARE WITH VITAMIN D

The skin needs the nourishment it deserves. We should provide all the valuable nutrients it wants from us. Vitamin D is one of the most important foods that helps maintain healthy skin

Many beauty products use “Sunshine Vitamin” to enhance the beauty and glow of the skin. Applying these cosmetics can help us in fighting skin problems. Some are below:

Skin Pigmentation:

People with hyperpigmentation problems may face dark patches in their face, arms, or any other part of the body that meets skin exposure and inflammation. The melanin starts to produce in both cases, leaving the dark spots and areas on our body that take time to go away.

Vitamin D extracts are present in many products, saving you from the significant effects of skin pigmentation.

Skin rejuvenation (anti-aging):

Skin rejuvenation becomes easy with products rich in antioxidants and vitamin D. It helps fight the signs of aging and other damages of the skin caused due to health conditions or more exposure to the Sun.

Immunity of the skin:

Vitamin D’s effects on the cells in the immune system are essential for our body. It improves the production of immune cells of microbe-fighting proteins. It helps increase our skin’s immunity and helps reduce many factors that can be harmful.

FEW SKIN ISSUES BECAUSE OF VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY

We can see some skin problems that can hurt us and not get repaired fast. We are listing the three main issues that are common to see.

Psoriasis: a skin issue that includes red and itchy patches, mainly on the scalp, trunk, elbows, and knees.

Atopic dermatitis(Eczema): involves the red itchy areas, inflammation, and xeroderma on the skin.

Ichthyosis: comes from genetic skin disorders that show scaly, thick, dry skin.

vitamin d rich foods

CONSUME VITAMIN D IN 3 EASY WAYS

Some vitamin D problems and their answers were above, but the main point is still not discussed. It is the kind of way that helps us get the portion of vitamin D our body needs. We can take it by eating or with the help of our skin. Let us know a little more about it.

Through skin:

We read before about this process. We can sit under the Sun and let the sun rays convert cholesterol in our bodies into vitamin D. It is the easiest way to balance it inside. But the people with dark complexions need to sit more than people with lighter skin because of the high melanin.

From diet:

Another easy and natural way is by adding food rich in vitamin D into the daily meals. We can differentiate the food for vegetarians and non-vegetarians.

The non-veg meals rich in vitamin D are egg-yolks, tuna, fatty fish, and salmon. Add these to make a balanced diet and see the good results with time.

The vegetarian diet should include cheese and fortified foods like cow’s milk, yogurt, tofu, etc.

Taking supplements:

If we can not do both the above options, switching to supplements is the best option. But first, consult the expert and then start taking it.

CLOSURE

We all should focus on being as healthy as possible. It helps us in fighting all the diseases and significant health problems. Vitamin D is an essential thing that our body should maintain. At an early stage of life, we do not care about it. But with time, its deficiency takes over our body slowly.

So, without any delay in maintaining vitamin D levels, make a schedule to take the sunshine daily for around 30 minutes, and eat vitamin D-rich foods. Accept it; we all are not getting any younger. If we keep it healthy now, the body will thank us in our old days.

Things to Consider to Find the Best Foundations https://penloom.com/things-to-consider-to-find-the-best-foundations/ https://penloom.com/things-to-consider-to-find-the-best-foundations/#comments Tue, 22 Nov 2022 11:22:59 +0000 https://penloom.com/?p=6034 Makeup is prejudiced as pompous, flashy, and frivolous, and women who are fond of makeup are often categorized as insecure; still, cosmetics have many added benefits apart from enhancing looks. Many use makeup as armor; others feel more confident with makeup; cosmetics have the power to transform, enhance and protect. Even if makeup seems unnecessary to many, it is still an essential part of a woman’s life. 

You can generally break down the makeup routine into various steps and products, but the whole concept of a makeup routine is highly subjective to an individual. Some may consider their daily skincare routine, which includes the application of serums and moisturizers in a specific order, as a proper routine. For others, the routine may consist of applying various cosmetic products to enhance their looks. 

An enormous variety of cosmetic products are available in the retail market, and these products should be applied in a fixed order to get magnificent results. For instance, the foundation application is the first and foremost step in makeup. But a wrong foundation can ruin your whole makeup look; thus, this implies that the purchase of foundation can be tricky.

But don’t worry, if you are planning to purchase one, this write-up is perfect for you. 

There are a few basic things to be considered before purchasing the ‘RIGHT’ foundation.

best foundation for combination skin

The little details are:

Find The shade

The Salesperson in the store must have swatched the shade of foundation on your forearm to help you decide the perfect shade as per your skin tone. But the skin color of your forearm can be slightly different from your face’s skin tone. 

They say the best way to match the shade is to apply the product on your chest or find a spot around the center of your face and blend the product towards your hairline. This way, you can check if the product matches your skin shade. 

The shade does not have to be the exact match, but you can prefer a slightly lighter tone because the color is eventually going to shift a tone darker after the product blends in with your skin and face oils.

Moreover, you can always use bronzer on lighter skin and get the desired shade if you want a warmer skin tone.

Know your skin type and then choose

Your skin type can be dry, oily, or combination type; you should choose foundation depending on your skin type. For instance, the dewy foundation works best for dry skin, and the same can make the skin look extra oily for oily skin types. Therefore, a matte finish foundation works best for the combination to oily skin.

Don’t ignore your undertones.

Don’t go against your natural undertones unless you plan to color correct. Here are some tips related to foundation shade keeping undertone shade in consideration. 

If you have a complexion on the warmer side, then pick a shade with yellow undertones; and if your face color is on a cooler side, then select the foundation with pink undertones. Usually, warmer and neutral hues are easy to match with different skin shades and tones.

Know the coverage that suits your requirements

You need to understand the look every foundation gives to determine what coverage level you want. Usually, people find full coverage foundations heavy on their skin, but if you want a long-lasting look without the requirements of any touch-ups, then you should opt for the full coverage alternative. 

If you are not familiar with the type of coverages, then you should choose a low or a sheer coverage foundation. Knowing the coverage and undertone is the key to buying the best foundation; figure out your preferences. 

Experts prefer a satin finish over a matte finish on mature skin because the matte and dewy foundation emphasize flaws and wrinkles.

Composition is important

Various foundations have different specifications to serve particular purposes. Check the product’s composition first; for instance, salicylic acid is the best choice for acne-prone skin, and hyaluronic acid works wonders for dry skin. Look for an SPF-based foundation for sun protection.

Consistency

Once you are familiar with your skin type and composition of the foundation, you may want to consider the consistency of the product too. For instance, liquid foundations are water-based and often feel light weighted on the skin, whereas cream foundations which are usually oil-based, feel comparatively thicker on the face. The consistency of the silicone foundation lies between liquid and cream; they are generally liquid but feel more velvety on the application as they are more hydrating than liquid. Then there are powder foundations which are dry pigments and other minerals; they also feel silky smooth on the touch. But make sure that these powders should be sufficiently pressed enough that when you put your brush in them, they don’t fly away.

Different products for every weather!

Most of us keep using the same shade and formula of foundation throughout the year. However, it is essential to change the foundation because every composition and shade has specific results on the skin. For example, in summers, you need a product that lasts long on the skin and doesn’t sweat away, whereas, in winters, you need a foundation that moisturizes the skin well.

best foundation for skin

Don’t purchase foundations online.

Buying your foundation online may not be the best choice; the AI technology or the camera doesn’t always show the best results. Instead, use the internet to save your time; you can go through the whole shade range of your desired brand and pick the top three shades. You can use your internet gained knowledge to save your time and make the best purchase from the offline store.

CONCLUSION

Cosmetics have become part and parcel of our lives; both women and men use basic cosmetics to hide their pigmentation and blemishes and keep their skin healthy. One of the most basic and first components of the makeup application process is applying foundation. 

The product can define your whole look and enhance the rest of the makeup. It is used to even down the skin tone and reduce pigmentation. So it is essential to choose your foundation wisely, considering all the factors, including your skin type. 

 So if you have added a few foundation products to your list, consider all the factors before making the final call.

WFH: Doesn’t mean skipping your skincare regime! https://penloom.com/wfh-doesnt-mean-skipping-your-skincare-regime/ https://penloom.com/wfh-doesnt-mean-skipping-your-skincare-regime/#comments Tue, 22 Nov 2022 08:27:05 +0000 https://penloom.com/?p=5973 It’s been more than three years since the Covid outbreak, ever since you have been working from home. Needless to ask, you follow the same pandemic fashion just like others do, don’t you? The very pandemic fashion with “Professional Waist-Up” look that has literally become a new normal… A dress code for WFH!😀You found your comfort in your formals and halted other daily routines like bathing, eating habits, and especially our beauty regime! Obviously, staying home made us all sluggish; who will get up and do the entire skincare routine?

Don’t ignore; it’s Time for Skin Adore!

You might have skipped your beauty routine, considering why you need it! As you aren’t even stepping out, no exposure to the sun, no pollution! This might surprise you, but staying inside also makes your skin dull until you actually give your skin a treat! Of course, you haven’t exfoliated your skin for weeks, and wait, did you stop wearing SPF? Your silence seems a big NO… You have also stopped using your sunscreens, too, don’t tell us! Well, “it’s never too late.” Come on; we know you are here to learn about skin care while WFH! I have brought you some factual information about skincare regimes to keep your skin healthy and flawless.

But I am working from home, so how is my skin getting exposed to pollution? Why is it still dull?

Good way to justify! What’s the point of skincare regime if you are not expose to external environment… But no, that’s not the case here! Let’s accept it; it’s a bit challenging to follow the proper skincare routine, isn’t it? You ignore your daily skincare because video conferences can now work without turning the cameras on! But it has been observed many have been dealing with skin woes since lockdown and WFH effectuated. Many complain that their complexion has started to change, and they face more face pigmentation.

WFH might be helping you but not your skin!

Yes, it’s true; if you have completely stopped caring about your skin, you must restart ASAP! Let’s not stretch this with traumatic lines. Frankly, i am trying to talk about how exactly your skin gets worst in work from home! You get up a few minutes before work starts and get your laptop right away;not a secret anymore! Instead of the sun, the screen is the first light your face is exposed to, sad!

Toasting bread while having a meeting, eating while working, and then cooking… Meeting up deadlines and that’s how you are winning the crown of a juggler. You need to know; your entire WFH routine can give your skin an inferiority complex. Your skincare takes a back seat and then consequently get skin concerns like:

Dry Skin

Come on, now accept that the air inside is dry and filthy, and the root cause is your HVAC system. Yes, the entire heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system is the respiratory system of your home. Whatever HVAC brings in, that’s what exactly you and your skin breathe ultimately. And according to many research findings, it has been depicted that staying indoors for a long time, exposes us to the air which is uncirculated, i.e., dirty and contains pollutants that make our skin dry; very dry! This dryness usually leads to the upper (protective layer) disruption and results in red and flaky skin.

Acne

Lately, you’ve been looking in the mirror and pondering, hmm… 

Why does my skin look duller than usual? Wait, what, a zit, when did I start getting these weird zits? Well, you’re not alone; every other person is probably asking these questions right now in front of their mirror! The dryer the indoor condition, the more likely your skin will produce sebum, and eventually, your skin will suffer clogged pores and breakouts and, of course, acne with a lot more dullness!

Wrinkles and Hyperpigmentation

WFH means, Of course, you don’t have to rush to work, step out in the sun, and hence no traces of tanning and UV rays. Perhaps, what about your screen time? You might have heard of “Blue Light Damage” if you ever used night mode on your phone or laptop screen. Also addressed as HEV (high energy visible), the blue light, i.e., basically produced by your gadgets and electronic devices from the sun.

And you don’t want to know, but these are more likely to cause damage to our skin cells. Staring at screens for hours (9 to 5) leads to a collagen supply crash. Eventually, you’ll get to premature aging with wrinkles and saggy skin signs due to maximum screen time. Blue light basically acts as a slow poison as it gives you insomnia too. And it is as clear as crystal that “Beauty Sleep” is a real thing!

So should I resign?

No, give your skin a treat of Time!

Believe it or not, your skin needs a lot more than makeup and filters! You need some time to spare; you need extensive skincare! Here are a few easy skincare tips you can follow to bring your “lockdown skin” on track:

No bath but do “face wash.”

Of course, after getting up from your bed, oily face needs to be washed away to freshen up your day! It’s totally fine to skip baths once in a while in WFH.😉 But make sure to wash your face before opening your laptop.

Sun Screen for Lap Screen!

You might be keeping your SPF sunscreen for brighter days ahead (post lockdown) but wearing SPF can shield your face from “Blue Light Damage.” So, right after washing and drying your face, layer it up with ultra light sunscreen.

No-makeup Zoom calls!

Thankfully, camera-off options give you the privilege to attend office meetings without touch up. In fact, you can attend your meeting while wearing a hydration mask! And if your client is still a big fan of Facetime Calls, thanks to the no-makeup look. You only need SPF and a few drops of face serum, and a tinted lip balm. You are good to go for a client meeting! No extra layers of makeup, skin stays hydrated, happy skin, happy client; it’s a win-win!

Mid-day snooze: but don’t let your boss know about it!

It’s WFH; who doesn’t want to curl up in bed with a laptop? Slowly sliding way down to your propped-up pillows, closing eyes, and Zzz… This might sound illicit, but catching some Zs might help you relax your eyes and skin cells as well.

Note*

Do it as discreetly and respectfully as possible and do it at your own risk!

Above mentioned skincare tips are easy to follow, so it won’t be hard for you to follow them! Eat healthy! Drink plenty of water, make a lockdown playlist and let WFH win the skin game!
