Your skin shouldn’t take a vacation while you’re stuck at home

Posted on April 07, 2020

Many people are self-isolating or quarantining because of the coronavirus, but this doesn’t mean your skin should take a “vacation.”

Frequent handwashing can lead to dry, chapped hands. Make sure to use a good moisturizing cream. One of our favorites is Excipial Daily Protection Hand Cream which is uniquely formulated with ingredients that function like a glove for the hands. A barrier is created that hydrates your hands protecting it against excessive hand washing, drying sanitizers or harsh elements that you come in contact with throughout the day.

With nail salons closed, now is the perfect time for an at-home foot peel. Babyfoot is designed to remove unsightly, dead skin cells on your feet that buildup over time. Baby Foot contains 17 kinds of natural extracts which have a high moisturizing power and astringency, thus the sole becomes smooth after peeling. One $25 box of Baby Foot contains two booties lined with the gel product. A user washes and soaks the feet, applies the booties and secures them with tape, then allows the product to soak in for an hour before washing the gel away. Anywhere from three to seven days later, the skin begins to peel. It continues to shed, flake, and peel (sometimes in large sheets) for up to two weeks after application.

You might think you can skip your SPF routine because you aren’t going outside as much. If you are keeping busy swimming, walking, running, biking or exercising outside, don’t forget your sun protection.
