With the increasing amount of time spent at home amid the coronavirus pandemic, your body is now adjusting to a new routine.

Your skin might also have a hard time figuring out what is happening and freak out in one way or another.

There are chances you are exposed to less harsh sun, however, you might also expose yourself to more air conditioning, eat less healthy food and consume more alcoholic beverages to cope with the quarantine blues.

Here are a few tips:

Get enough sleep

Sleeping is imperative for your overall healthy life. According to Sleepfoundation.org, healthy sleeping behavior includes falling asleep easily within 15-20 minutes of lying down to sleep; regularly sleeping for a total of seven to nine hours in a 24-hour period; having continuous sleep and not having long periods of lying awake when you wish to be sleeping; and waking up feeling fresh and alert.

If you don’t get enough sleep, your body will release more cortisol, the stress hormone that can cause acne or psoriasis.

Work out routinely

Working out will help your body to burn cortisone, which is a good way to reduce stress and help keep your skin clear.

However, remember to immediately take a shower after exercising.

Wear moisturizer

People will sit around in air-conditioned rooms more often than in pre-coronavirus times. This can cause your skin to be exposed to dry air for a longer time. She suggested using a humidifier in the room where you sit most often in the house.

Also, try not to take too many long, hot showers as hot water sucks the moisture out of your skin.

Don’t go too far with skincare

You should brace yourself with an experimental skin care routine now that you have so much time on your hands. Use skin masks, peels and exfoliators only with caution.

All of that exfoliating and peeling affects your skin’s acid mantle. You have good bacteria and bad bacteria. You don’t want to get rid of all your good stuff. If you overtreat, your pH levels go up and that can lead to skin problems.

Wash your face but not too much.

If you over-wash, you are stripping the natural oils, so your skin will start producing more. It is enough to wash your face only once or twice a day, and use benzoyl peroxide once a week.

Moisturize your hands

The number-one COVID-19 preventive measure is to wash your hands, so naturally by now you will be washing your hands more often than you used to. However, always remember to moisturize your hands after washing.
