How To Give Yourself A Little Self-Care During A Pandemic

Home 5 Blog 5 How To Give Yourself A Little Self-Care During A Pandemic

During these turbulent times, it’s easy to overlook what’s more important, us. You may be swamped with your children’s schoolwork, work from home tasks, or generally just overwhelmed with being stuck at home. Most likely, your emotional or physical health is suffering the brunt of it too. Not only does stress impact a huge part of your emotional stance but your integumentary system (your hair, nails, and SKIN) take a hit.

These “hits” are categorized under psychophysiological skin problems: skin diseases that are exacerbated or created by stress and can be either psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and acne. Let’s not mention the other drawbacks stress has on your skin: inflammation, dry skin, and oilier skin (which causes more acne!).

Do you see the correlation here? Most importantly, let me ask, are you convinced yet? An easy way to give yourself a little self-care or TLC (tender loving care) during these turbulent times is to establish a great skincare routine. A great daily skincare routine looks like this:

Morning routine

Facial Cleanser -> Facial Toner ->Hyaluronic Acid Serum -> Facial Moisturizer (for additional moisture) -> Makeup.

Nightly Routine-

Facial Cleanser -> Facial Toner -> Retinol Youth Serum -> Facial Moisturizer ( if needed, for additional moisture).

Now that you’re equipped with the steps to establish a solid skincare routine, let’s dig a little deeper into each type of product’s benefits and how they can accomplish that inner peace you so well deserve.

Cleanse and detoxify to unveil a luminous glow.

One of the first steps you should take when starting your skincare routine is to cleanse it with a facial cleanser. It’s hard to see all the impurities and other things like dead skin cells, oil, and dirt that accumulate on your skin in your busy day-to-day with the naked eye. Think about the extra hospital shifts you’ve had to pick up since the start of the pandemic or additional learn from home activities you’ve been participating in for your kiddos. You get the picture.

By participating in face washing daily, you will get rid of all these pollutants and setting an excellent premise for your skin to absorb all the benefits of the subsequent products you use in your skincare routine. If you decide to skip out on washing your face daily, the impurities build up and clog your skin pores, leading to acne. Not only that but your skin will become less hydrated and becomes drier as well which will, in turn, cause your skin to look more aged and noticeably wrinkly. After every wash, your skin should look fresh and supple.

Now that we’ve gone over the few reasons why you should invest in an efficient facial cleanser, you may be curious about where to find one. Our Facial Cleanser helps revive pores and remove impurities with a succulent blend of organic extracts and powerful bacteria-fighting agents.

It’s a non-abrasive formula that exfoliates on a cellular level and is suitable for all skin types. It’s also infused with activated charcoal & green tea, promoting benefits like removing deeper impurities, unclogging pores, anti-aging, reduced redness & puffiness, and sun protection.

Facial toner benefits you need to try

You may have already heard some things about facial toners that aren’t necessarily true. Some things that may come to mind maybe, “I could use my facial toner as a cleanser” or, “toners don’t work for me”. Although everyone is entitled to their own opinion, let’s set the record straight as to what facial toners do, who they’re for, and when to use it.

Facial toners remove excess makeup or impurities that your regular cleanser can’t. Toners are generally used right after facial cleansing takes place. It also neutralizes your skin’s pH balance. Our Witch Hazel & Lavender Facial Toner is suitable for all skin types and does its job in further enhancing your skin.

Aside from smelling divine, the witch hazel and lavender work by making your skin have less inflammation, tighten pores and healing from pre-existing conditions like acne, psoriasis, and dermatitis, and eczema.

Hyaluronic acid serum & retinol serum are a MUST in your skincare routine.

Remember how we talked about the importance of hydrated skin? European Wellness Cosmedical’s very own Natural Hyaluronic Acid Serum & improved Retinol Serum provide intense hydration that will give you a soft silky skin texture.

Our Hyaluronic Acid is certified vegan and is extracted by way of wheat-free fermentation. Hyaluronic Acid is one of the most powerful hydrating and moisturizing ingredients on the market today.

This concentrated serum helps support healthy skin and helps provide moisture. This formula works as a humectant by retaining water to achieve healthy skin-hydration. The retinol serum applies the finishing touch by helping keep swelling down and revitalizing and rejuvenating the skin.

The result is the serum-replenishing collagen production stimulation. It, in turn, smoothes the skin’s fine lines and wrinkles. This action will fade acne marks, blemishes as well as discoloration. Eventually, you will reverse the aging looks of your skin.

A well-performing moisturizer does wonders.

The last step to your skincare regimen is finishing it off with a condition and soothing moisturizer. One of the most important uses for a moisturizer is to prevent or treat dry skin. A great moisturizer will protect you from future breakouts or irritation and maintain your skin’s hydration.

Our Bergamot Facial Moisturizer goes above and beyond in accomplishing all of this. Our skin-quenching formula is suitable for all skin types. It is infused with coconut oil & vitamin e which provides anti-bacterial benefits by providing a layer of protection from persistent bacteria and dirt. Not only do they repair and moisturize skin, but they can also prevent acne and keep your skin clean

.

Don’t forget to give yourself a little love amidst all the craziness happening in the world. During the COVID crisis, it makes sense to worry about friends and family’s health. Don’t forget your physical and mental health is essential too. Who will take care of others if you cannot do it for yourself?

A practical step you can take today is by investing in a long-term skincare routine. If you keep on indulging in forgetting about your skincare, you will not reap the benefits of one and be unhappy about your skin in the long run. Take a look at our Natural Skincare Bundle to get started today. You are worth that and more. Happy shopping and “Be Kind To Yourself”.
