Here are 10 strategies to save your skin from the COVID-19 crises, ranging from rethinking your skincare routine to treatments for masks.

If you don't wear makeup, you'll get fewer breakouts.

Makeup, which was once a daily habit in the pre-pandemic era, is now a no-no, especially if you use masks on a daily basis.

That’s because even your “everyday wear” cosmetics can clog your pores when worn under a mask. Furthermore, the moisture that gets trapped inside the masks when we breathe might lead to sweat and oil build-up. We all know what that entails: breakouts!

Refresh your skincare regimen

Remove abrasive scrubs, heavy-duty exfoliants, and thick lotions from your routine. Gentle cleansers, hydrating toners, light serums or gel moisturisers, and sunscreen should be used instead.

Pick the right mask and put it on properly

Masks are unlikely to go out of style anytime soon. Investing in a quality, breathable mask that combines form and function is the best option.

Follow the mask rituals religiously

Using a fragrance-free detergent to wash your mask
Apply a thin layer of zinc oxide to the bridge of your nose and behind your ears to protect your skin from mask pressure and friction.
Moisturize your skin before applying your mask.
Applying sunscreen over moisturizer to protect your skin from UV damage.

Wear sunscreen even if you aren't going outside

When you sit in front of a screen for more than eight hours, your skin is at risk of photoaging. Photoaging is a disorder that occurs when your skin is exposed to blue light for an extended period of time. To avoid this, our dermatologist recommends that you apply decent sunscreen to your skin every day. Choose a mineral-based sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.

Treat your hands with care

To do so, you’ll need to do the following:

Wash your hands with lukewarm water. Do this for at the very least 20 seconds.
Moisturize your hands right after they've been washed or sanitized.

Avoid foods that have a high glycemic index

Following a healthy diet has numerous advantages, one of which is flawless-looking skin. Doctors and dermatologists have often warned us that what we put inside our bodies has a cumulative influence on what we see on the outside. So, throughout the pandemic, eating a healthy diet should be your top focus.

Workout

It’s impossible to dispute that skincare and exercise have an asymptotic relationship. After you’ve completed a physical exercise, you’ll find that you’re glowing more. Exercise induces the release of endorphins, which improve mood and decrease anxiety and tension.

As soon as blisters and acne emerge, treat them

Blisters and pimples come as standard with the Covid-19 epidemic. If you get a blister, try to keep it clean as much as possible. Apply an antibiotic ointment on it later. However, if the outbreak is severe, we recommend that you contact a dermatologist.

Seek professional assistance

Your body is the best sign of your overall health. So, if your skin is trying to tell you something, it’s best not to ignore it-especially today, when we don’t know what horrifying form the infection will take. As a result, it’s always a good idea to see a dermatologist as soon as you notice a problem with your skin.

The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc in nearly every area of our lives, don’t let your skin become another victim. Times have changed, consider this an opportunity to revamp your skin care routine, moisturize, treat any abrasions, and take care of your physical body. You’re sure to see a change in your skin that makes you feel beautiful!
