Skin Care Tips Amid COVID

Wearing a mask has become an indispensable part of our daily life. The skin is stressed by the constant rubbing and perspirations under the mask.  Irritations and contaminations can also occur from wearing for many hours. Here are some tips and tricks on how you can have beautiful skin even amid COVID.
 
Proper cleansing and toning
 
Proper cleansing of the skin is more important than ever amid COVID. You need to choose the right cleansing products tailored to your skin type.  Since the skin under the mask is perspiring more than usual, it’s crucial to use a face toner after cleansing to thoroughly remove impurities’ residues.  Check out our Cleanser and Toner page, and you’ll find the right set for you.
 
 
Deep pore cleansing
 
In case of mixed to oily skin, we recommend doing a deep pore peel at home 2 to 3 times a week if you cannot visit your spa for facial treatments. This can help remove excess oil, clarify the skin, prevent the formation of blackheads and optimally prepare the skin for absorption for your remaining skincare routine.  Exfoliating Tonic and Enzymatic Peeling Powder are excellent choices.  If you are Vegan, use the VEGETALIE Deep Cleansing Scrub.  For dry skin, do not over exfoliate, as that will dry out your skin and leave it more sensitive. We recommend deep pore cleansing once a week.
 
 
Cream or Lotion?
 
For oily or if you perspire a lot while wearing a face mask, use a light-weight cream or emulsion such as
Dermal ProBalance Cream, Advanced Moisturizing Fluid, Keep Young Serum.
 
If you are more prone to breaking out, the best option is to use Blemish Control Cream for spot treatment.  You can apply the Blemish Control Cream on the affected areas in the evening to put the infections under control.  After the Blemish Control Cream, apply 24h Clearing Cream to finish.
 
For mixed to dry skin, you have many choices for daily care.  Check out our emulsions and moisturizers, such as Hyaluronic Cream, Pre-age Emulsion, Quick Lift Fluid, Collagen Booster etc.
 
 
MakeUp
 
Since most foundations block pores and isn’t preferable while wearing masks, we recommend using RENOVAR Nude Defense BB Cream or a mineral powder instead
