Does Lockdown Benefit Your Skin?

Lockdown allows your skin to take a break from daily aggressions such as makeup, pollution, and sunlight. These factors can dry out your skin and speed up aging. For many, confinement is the perfect time to take care of themselves, go makeup-free, and let their skin breathe to regain comfort and radiance.

However, one question arises: can lockdown have negative effects on your skin?

Yes, it can. During lockdown, fear, anxiety, and especially stress can affect some people. This can lead to many changes in the body and on your skin. Relaxing through yoga, meditation, hot baths, or simply doing what you love can help you de-stress and regain beautiful, healthy skin.

Indoor air

Outdoor air is harmful because of pollution and dust, but indoor air can be even worse. Contrary to what you might think, it’s often more polluted and drier, which can dehydrate your skin. Remember to air out your rooms regularly by opening the windows to renew the air.

Hydration forgotten

When staying home all day, many people neglect their daily skincare routine, which worsens skin dryness. Try not to skip it—take time for yourself by applying a serum and a day cream. You can also apply a mask to deeply hydrate your skin and restore its glow.

You can also do a facial sauna. This 100% natural method involves placing your face over a bowl of hot water for about 10 minutes. Add a few drops of essential oil for extra benefits. When finished, rinse your face with cold water and apply a moisturizing product.

Blue light

Although phones, tablets, and computers are helpful, they expose your skin to large doses of blue light. This type of light causes oxidative stress, which accelerates skin aging. It can also lead to hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Reducing screen time can help limit these effects.

Nutrition

Healthy skin starts with a healthy diet. Your skin and hair’s beauty depends largely on what you eat. During lockdown, many people snack more and cook comfort foods, which can unbalance the skin. The solution: focus on whole grains, fiber-rich foods, and limit sugar intake.
