THE EFFECT OF COVID 19 ON YOUR SKIN
The effect of Covid 19 , including spending more time at home , has brought a great focus on self-care and skin care has reaped the benefits . The pandemic has resulted in more time spent at home when people have decided to give their skin a respite from make-up and instead focus on a more rigorous skin care regime .
Most people are cleansing or moisturising more than they were pre-pandemic and a third have expanded their routine to include more products .
Using an average of 5 products daily , consumers are committed to their baseline facial routine which includes a combination of basic care but also targeted treatments such as exfoliators and masks .
Your skin care routine should vary from morning to night . When you wake up focus on protecting your skin from pollution , sun and other light waves . In the evening switch gears and apply regenerating ingredients . At night is when the skin regenerates itself . That is when we need to apply actives , not protectors , so consider a retinol formula that prompts cell turnover and aids smoothing the surface of fine lines and wrinkles in the skin .
Wearing face masks can dry out your skin and cause various skin rashes , including breakouts of acne , rosacea , folliculitis and contact dermatitis and it is in these circumstances we need to consider your daily routine . Although these are distressing it is still essential to keep wearing a mask but there are ways we can address your concerns .
In my opinion we need a simple but effective routine so here is my suggestion . It is simple , not using too many products but they are all effective and you will soon see results .
In the morning : cleanse , hydrate , moisturise and protect using :
Reveal : Containing AHA ' s ; glycolic and citric acid , to gently remove the build-up of dead skin cells together with salicylic acid to remove impurities and excess oil . Our cleanser increases cell turnover while preparing the skin for the further application of recommend daily care .
Hydrate : A skin loving serum containing pure hyaluronic acid , a natural powerful humectant helping your skin maximise water
retention and be fully hydrated reducing the appearance of fine lines , giving an even skin tone and youthful complexion .
Protect 20 : Our signature moisturiser with sun protection factor 20 is an ultra-nourishing and anti-ageing moisturiser , providing all day hydration . Harnessing peptides to tighten and firm whilst diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles . Skin loving oxidants encourage cell re-growth and regeneration .
In the evening : cleanse , exfoliate and regenerate using :
Reveal : Containing AHA ' s ; glycolic and citric acid , to gently remove the build-up of dead skin cells together with salicylic acid to remove impurities and excess oil . Our cleanser increases cell turnover while preparing the skin for the further application of recommend daily care .
Glow : A luxury anti-ageing wash with a mellow mango fragrance to exfoliate and help improve your complexion . Containing glycolic acid and quartz to stimulate , condition and polish skin to perfection . A twice weekly routine to leave skin looking younger , smoother fresher with a radiant glow !
R +: A powerful and highly effective serum containing 1 % Retinol , a stabilised Vitamin A derivative which has been clinically proven to increase cell turnover . R + will reduce pore size , resulting in firmer younger looking skin as well as reduce , visible signs of ageing including dark spots and uneven skin tone .
Just following this simple routine will see an improvement in your skin quality and I am sure you will want to continue with these products even when life gets back to some form of normality . ( It seems many moons ago when we had no time , when we were always watching the clock and we had little or no times for ourselves ), but I am sure once you establish this simple but effective regime you will always find the time to continue however busy our lives become hopefully in the near future .
