Maintaining these skincare steps while working from home

Now that we’re all working from home and holding conference calls in the comfort of our loungewear and living rooms (or bedrooms), it doesn’t mean all skincare etiquette should be thrown out the window.

Basic skincare steps are still essential, not just for hygiene purposes but wouldn’t you agree with all this time on your time, this IS the perfect time to invest in good skincare steps while staying out of the sun, pollution and other nasty age aggressors?

#1 Double cleansing

Sure, you’re not wearing makeup at home but double cleansing should not be cut out of your cleaning ritual, especially if you have oily skin that’s prone to breakouts. Double cleansing with a good oil cleanser followed by a gentler facial wash, preferably without SLS, will do your skin good to keep it in pristine condition, literally.

#2 Sunscreen

Here’s a #mindblown fact for you if you don’t already know it – regardless of your location, be it indoors or outdoors, you NEED to wear sunscreen. Just because you’re working from home now doesn’t mean you can now skip on this skincare step. Harmful UV rays can and do penetrate windows and glass so it is imperative you stick to broad spectrum sunscreen to keep your skin well protected.

#3 Exfoliating

Just because you aren’t out means your skin stops its skin renewal process. With more time on your hands, do try to exfoliate 2 to 3 times a week. This not only actively sloughs off dead skin cells, it gives your other skincare products a better chance of doing its job well for your skin.
