5 BEAUTY IDEAS TO CHEER YOU UP WHILE YOU’RE TRAPPED AT HOME

These days we must do what we must to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe – stay at home, it is. Well, at least there’s plenty of time to indulge in beauty rituals. Here are 5 ideas that will help your skin (and you!) feel better during these challenging weeks and make the most of your time spent at home.

Let’s brighten things up! Indoors we are less affected by UVA/UVB rays, so this is a time when we can really make use of the rejuvenating, brightening effects of AHA peels. Give your skin a course of treatment. If you go outdoors, always apply sunscreen.

Make sure to keep your body and skin hydrated. Drink plenty of water and treat your skin with hydrating creams and masks. Used in combination with peeling treatments, these will make your skin feel like having a long SPA holiday. Extend your facial treatments to your décolletage.

Regular exercise is one of the keys to healthy-looking skin. Even if you have to stay at home, you can still be physically active. Exercising boosts metabolism and circulation, helping to deliver important beauty nutrients and oxygen to skin cells. Any of your favourite activities will do – exercise, do yoga, dance! Start your day with a 20 minute workout session. Open the window and let in some fresh air before your morning activities. After exercising, take a contrast shower or cold shower, as this helps to boost the elasticity of your skin. After a shower, give the problem zones a vigorous massage, using a nutrient-rich oil.

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Washing hands has been proven to be an effective way of protecting you from infections. Did you know that on average we touch our face 23 times an hour? Never touch your face, eat or drink with unwashed hands. Use a rich protecting cream to keep your skin soft and moisturised.
