Experts have described how staying at home can affect your appearance. Allure publishes relevant material.
According to New York dermatologist Ryan Turner, dry and dirty indoor air can be detrimental to skin quality. In addition, the “no-exit” finding of the house can lead to the violation of its protective barrier. This leads to exacerbation of eczema, which is accompanied by redness and flaking. To solve this problem, the specialist recommends purchasing air purifiers.
Rashes can be another problem. In connection with the remote operating mode, introduced everywhere due to the coronavirus pandemic, people spend more time in bed. Accordingly, this causes grease, dead skin particles and bacteria to accumulate on the bedding. What’s more, acne can spread throughout the body. A “couch” lifestyle, as well as rubbing clothes, can lead to folliculitis. “I advise you to change your bedding more often,” Turner said.
Acne can occur if you stop regularly using cosmetics. This is due to the fact that inside the walls of the house people begin to be lazy and do not pay enough attention to their appearance, forgetting to use moisturizers or products containing SPF.
Certified dermatologist Audrey Kunin warned that hours of work from home at the computer can cause wrinkles and sagging skin. “Blue light emitted from gadget screens, as well as daylight entering through windows, can cause visible skin changes, including redness and pigmentation,” she explained.
In October, cosmetologist Daria Baskakova named a way to avoid the appearance of acne due to constant wearing of a protective mask during the coronavirus pandemic. According to the doctor, timely mask change and proper facial skin care can help prevent rashes. So, the mask must be changed every two hours, and washed in the morning and evening after removing it. In addition, the beautician noted that the risk of acne increases with heavy makeup.
