While staying indoors might sound like a valid excuse to cut down on your skincare routine, remember that you still need to give your skin enough TLC! It’s still adapting to life under quarantine. There will also be times when you need to go out and run some errands, and these sudden changes may affect your skin and its overall health. Even if you’re not directly exposed to the sun’s harmful UV rays or outdoor air pollution on the daily, there are subtle factors at home that can also contribute to dry or oily skin and even breakouts. Here’s what you need to know:
1. Stressing about work and life can cause breakouts.
Dealing with so many changes this year isn’t easy. The daily stress we encounter can take a toll on our skin especially if we tend to cope through unhealthy habits such as sleeping late and binge-eating. These factors also contribute to acne breakouts. Learn how to deal with stress at your own pace starting with a pamper sesh using NIVEA Acne Clear Whip Foam. Treat this gentle cleanser as your daily essential because it helps refresh and relieve your skin from acne-causing dirt, oil, and other bacteria. Massage and let it foam on your face for some instant relaxation that leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth. Consider it a self-care treat for your skin!
2. Your face is still exposed to oil and dirt.
Even when you’re not wearing makeup at home, your face can still get dirty and oily. It is due to the humid weather or sweaty tasks on your to-do list. One quick fix is by gently patting the NIVEA Extra White Micellair Cleanser on your face. It has pearl and licorice extracts that help clear and brighten your skin. This cleanser lets your skin breathe and de-stress after a long day. It also works as a toner for your face (and even your underarms!) so you can prep your skin for other skincare products you have, like your go-to moisturizer!
3. The blue light from your gadgets can cause fine lines and wrinkles.
Does your WFH setup give you more screen time? Studies suggest that too much exposure on your phone, laptop, tablet, and other digital devices may break down collagen and result to dull, tired skin. One way to combat this effect is by applying NIVEA Crème on your face. It helps keep your skin healthy and moisturized. For a cooling effect, store it in your fridge before use. Then, when it’s time for some pampering, combine this cool crème with your regular serum. Wear it overnight to give your tired skin enough recovery time so you can wake up feeling fresh and radiant.
