‘Lockdown skin’ is a thing, as if we didn’t have enough to deal with. An accumulation of stress, too much screen time and too little fresh air is causing us to break out.
However, there are steps we can take to ensure we re-emerge from lockdown with our skin glowing rather than dull and irritated.
How to improve your skin during lockdown –
1. Reduce Stress
Activities such as meditation and yoga can be incremented into your daily routine to help reduce your stress levels.
Meditation transports you mentally to a place of calmness and reflection. The news can feel overwhelmingly loud at the moment, so it’s important to switch off from the outside world occasionally to focus on your own mental well-being.
Although our movement is restricted, we can still get moving in new ways. Yoga stretches your body, stimulating cell regeneration and releasing the physical effects of stress.
If you can, order house plants online to get more oxygen flowing through your space. Houseplants improve air quality, which enhances your mood and reduces stress levels.

2. Limit screen time
It is important to restrict your screen time during the lockdown, to reduce your exposure to damaging radiation.
Instead of zoom, schedule a good old-fashioned phone call to catch up. It will prevent you from being distracted by your own face on zoom.
Spend time doing activities away from your electronic devices. Set up a book club with your friends and get reading. Get involved in arts and crafts, creating handmade gifts for loved ones. The possibilities are infinite once you’ve locked your phone away.

3. Top up on vitamins
Keeping your skin nourished is vital in maintaining its vitality. There are three essential vitamins which you’ll need to flush out toxins and sustain a healthy complexion during the lockdown.
Vitamin A is key for maintaining healthy skin. It works with our skins natural healing process, causing fast recovery from skin damage.
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant which balances and brightens the complexion.
Vitamin E has anti-inflammatory properties, reducing redness and puffiness.

Detoxify your mind, body and soul to leave quarantine with that post-lockdown glow.
