Yeah you aren’t seeing anyone while on quarantine while Covid-19, the Coronavirus strikes fear in our hears with its pandemic claws. But you still need to take care of what you have. So let’s talk about the three most important skincare habits even if you’re working from home.

Wash Your Face

Wash your face at least once a day, preferably in the morning. I mean, I’d like morning and night, but let’s get real. If you’re reading this then you’re probably sitting in your pj’s and haven’t showered in a few days – am I right?

Go ahead and splash your face with water in the morning, or wipe it down with a microfiber mitt like Jane Iredale’s Magic Mitt, a knitted micro-fiber cloth that relies only on water and tiny micro-fibers to penetrate and wash away oil and grime. but your skin does a lot of clean up and repair while you sleep so help it by taking out the trash before you snooze by removing the days’ dirt. I really like SPELL Skincare’s Brilliantly Clean.  the pumpkin enzyme does double duty by gently exfoliating dead skin and cleansing it with anti-aging antioxidants. It smells pretty awesome before bed too.

A Daily Ceramide

Ceramides are what’s in the skin’s barrier that helps it retain moisture and allows it to hold proper hydration. Always oily? Get blackheads a lot? Always dry? Flakey skin? Forget basic moisturizers and serums. You need a ceramide! My favorite is the ultra-clean and made specifically designed for acne prone skin Roccoco Botanicals Ceramide Booster.

Sunscreen

I know you’re inside, but unless you’re living in a windowless room like that summer you lost playing WOW in your mom’s basement, you’re are getting UV and cancer-causing damage through the glass and whenever you go outside. Maybe you don’t need that 100+ spf that makes you white (you know the one), but you do need something. My favorite is Jane Iredale’s Powder Me SPF.  It feels like nothing and can easily just be powdered onto the face in a few quick swipes. My all-time favorite SPF is Epicuren’s Zinc SPF 27. It’s simple, feels awesome, helps mattify the skin, and has next to no smell.
