Skin Care During Quarantine
Who thought that this pandemic is going to change everyone’s life? The pandemic has not only changed our daily life routines but also our skin care and self-care routine. Just because we are stuck in home under lockdown does not mean that we will forget to take care of our skin. Today we have some time tips here about how to take care of skin when you are quarantined.
Getting Enough Rest is vital for Skin Care
By getting enough rest here I mean is getting enough sleep. We all know sleeping is good for health. Good skin care consists of good sleep too. Sleeping can help to heal your skin in a way which no skin treatment can do. Sleeping works like a repair process for the skin as said by Patricia Wexler, MD, a dermatologist in New York.
Drink Plenty of Water
Diane von Furstenberg in her Book of Beauty wrote: “You cannot have a healthy body without drinking a great deal of water. But remember, you can’t just drink a glass of water and tell a glass of water to please go straight to your skin and moisturize your complexion. Water has to be there all the time, doing what it does naturally in a healthy body.” This is no more a myth that drinking water is a bliss for skin. Water helps in your skincare in many ways. It hydrates your skin, it flushes out toxins for your system, leaves your skin glowing and reduces the acnes.
Eat Healthy Food
Now that you are stuck at home try to have home cooked meals. Healthy food always helps in good skin care. Foods like carrots, apricots, and other yellow and orange fruits and vegetables, fatty fish etc. are good not only for health or to keep illness away but also it benefits your skin.
Use Sheet masks for your face
Skin care is always important and sheet masks are kind of health resort for your face because it hydrates and heals your skin by bringing back its natural glow. Now during pandemic if you can’t but a sheet mask then you can make it at home. Diynatural.com has perfect and simple tips on how to make a DIY sheet mask at home.
Don’t stop moisturizing your skin
Now that you are all indoors and you don’t have to go out does not mean that your skin is safe. Even if you are in an air conditioned room your skin is not safe because your skin is exposed to dry air. And even if you have windows with glass shield still your skin is exposed to sun’s UV rays. Apart from that there is also Blue light waves that comes from electronic devices which harm your skin in many ways. So for a good skin care moisturizing is always important, doesn’t matter you are home or out of home as it reduces skin problems.
Don’t give up on your skin care routine
Now just because you isolated at home does not mean that your skin is all safe and you will skip your skin care routine. Skin care routine is very important because it helps your skin to looks it best. If you want your can try experimenting with your skin care routine as well and get to know if it suits your skin or not.
Aside from the fact that wearing a mask sometimes causes me breakouts, my skin is doing well. I haven’t worn makeup in MONTHS which I think helps.
Very useful tips you’ve got here. I need to make water often drinking a habit.
Great tips. Drinking water is so important for the body be it skin or any other body part
Once a month I would enjoy a facial and massage but since the pandemic, I can’t go to my salon and have that monthly pamper.
I so agree with having skin care and self care, in general, during quarantine. I am so comfortable in my own home that I sometimes forget to think about skin care since I rarely go out. And yes, I definitely need some more beauty rest.
Just because we are not exposed to pollutants and other dirts because we are stuck at home doesn’t mean we should not care less of our hygiene. I think following these tips will go a long way in maintaining a healthy and glowing skin.
Just because we are not exposed to pollutants and other dirt because we are stuck at home doesn’t mean we should care less of our hygiene. I think the best tips are rest and eating healthy food.
Moni, some great tips and I need to drink more water as this is very good thing too for body to stay healthy. Beauty tips I was looking at K-Beauty to try it as its very trendy at the moment
This is the best time to be conscious of our health and minding our skin is one of them. With all the negativity in the world, we should always have that positive attitude.
Good read! Alot of useful and practical information for maintaining good skin.
Very good tips. My skin is acne prone so I have to be extra careful what products I use. I try to drink as much water as I can during the day and eat healthy. But in summer because of the heat and sweat my skin suffers.
Drinking plenty of water has had an enormous effect on my skin since i have read this article. Thank you for sharing that tip.
These are great tips and I have to agree with all of them. I do need to get more sleep and need some good moisturizers!
Thanks.
I’ve been really trying to focus on taking care of my skin lately. I have the water part down but my kids never let me sleep and I we’ve been eating so bad lately. I’ll need to listen to what your saying if I’m ever going to get my skin in check!
Skincare doesn’t stop even when just staying at home. I always pay attention to your tip numbers 1 to 3.
You are absolutely right. It’s important for each of us to keep up the same daily habits as if life was proceeding like normal.
The getting more rest and drinking more water points are so hard for me! I do watch what I eat and generally take good care of my skin otherwise. Now if I could get better at those two things.
These skincare tips sound really helpful! Thanks for sharing these with us!
I had to add something to my routine – hand cream because of the constant washing 🙂
These are awesome tips. As someone who suffers from lupus, the stress of the past few months has really taken a toll on me physically and mentally. This has shown on my skin as well. I will definitely take these tips into account. Thanks so much for sharing!
I happen to be a huge advocate of sleep being a huge part of your beauty and wellness routine as your body repairs and does amazing things to itself while you are sleeping plus add to that lots of healthy foods and lots of water and you are doing all of the required steps needed to ensure your best you! Love this and appreciate your sharing… if I do not get 7 or 8 hours of sleep I can feel it all day long.
I’ve been taking care of my skin as well. Quarantine helps me to realize how open my pores were. I’m still working on this any suggestion would help.
It is true that many of us have stopped our daily skin care routine because of the pandemic. It’s different when you stay the entire day at home compared with when you go out every day.
I admit that lockdown or not I am a person who cares a lot about skincare, I have learned it in recent years. I pay attention to him, I work on it and I admit that with my Beauty Coach course I try to make my clients learn its importance by creating a personalized routine for them.
I’ll keep these in mind. My skin could use the help, that’s for sure.
do agree with you self care is the most important part over all…glad you shared this with us..great work though..healthy food and proper rest are the most essential part of self care..
Self care is so important right now. I am doing well in this area but I do need to get a hair cut.
The self care routine shows how much you are really caring for Yourself in general. Thank you for your post, it’s always welcomed as a good reminder
My skin has been fluctuating from glowing and flawless to a total wreck over the quarantine (likely because of the stress). I’m going to try and adjust to your suggestions… hopefully my skin clears up!
You are right. Water hydration and eating skin friendly food is the best skin care. This is also what I have been doing during quarantine.
I’ve been really struggling to get my skin care regimen down during quarantine. This is helpful.
I have only recently started taking care of my skin! Good thing my mamma blessed me some good genes, or else I would have been seriously behind the 8 ball at 52!!!!
Taking lots of water gives us amazing benefits especially for our skin. Plus it is cheap!
Don’t forget physical activities like sports or just cleaning the house, at least it helps to tighten the skin.
I’ve personally not taken care of my skin in normal days , due to lock down seeing my mom and sister I’ve been concern about my skin soo much , reading this will help too Thank you
These are great tips. I drink a lot of water every day. I’ve been experiencing skin issues since February, but I think mine is hormonal. The good thing about having to wear a mask when I go out if that I can easily hide breakouts while I try to get my skin straightened.
Exercise, drinking plenty of water and having enough sleep are my absolute favorite addition to my skin care routine. We all need to take proper care of ourselves, in all areas.
Skin care is important for me, one of the things I am grateful for during the (thankfully passed for me) lockdown is skin care importance felt through and through for me
Great pointers and also the rest and water factor is super crucial. And ofcourse finding what regime suits with all the time being spent indoors which is a chnage isnt it
exactly, it is important!
Having a good skin care is so important. These are some awesome tips and I would love to follow some of these. I am struggling a bit with a routine but hopefully I can get on to it soon.
These are all great tips. I totally agree with them 🙂

Every single day, I make sure I rest. I eat well and I moisturize my skin after washing. Good tips.
My biggest issue is always getting enough sleep. Since I started working from home during lockdown it has also been drinking enough water, because I tend to remember only when I get a headache.
Such doable tips and yes I am really trying to get more sleep as I know it’s so important as well as drinking more water

You are giving us a great and helpful tips. Drinking plenty of water and getting enough of sleep are necessary, and I think not wearing a makeup during this lockdown really helps a lot.
Skin care is very important . I have used sheet masks of a different company, they give instant freshness.

Yes, Skin care is important in this quarantine. Eating healthy food and good sleep helps a lot. One should not avoid skin care and also follow all the tips which you mentioned above. Thanks for sharing.
I must admit that since the lock down began, I have not paid much attention to my facial skin care. I just make sure I wash my face with soap and water, then use a night time moisturizer and that’s it. I should get back to my usual routine! Thank you for the reminder.
My skin is terrible right now due to all the stress of kids at home, and I know I dont drink enough water. Thanks for the reminder!
It is important to mantain the skin rouitine even thougth you are not going out that much.
This is so important and so easy to get in a funk too. I’m guilty of this. Thank you for reminding me! Lol
Very informative, I’ll keep this in mind. Thanks for sharing!
Great Post. Drinking water is a great problem I used to face, but after my surgery I turn up drinking enough water and I can truly see the importance of drinking water. Thanks.
Great Post on skin care. Itas well explained. Thanks for sharing
Looking after your skin is super important indeed. One thing I noticed during the pandemic is the availability of skin moisturizers seem to have reduce significantly.
I’m definitely not giving up on my skincare routine. It’s my one self-care thing I do for myself every day. Great list of ideas! I need to incorporate more orange foods into my diet though, so I’ll work on that ; )
I feel like that’s one of the few things going well during lockdown LOL! I have not worn any make in months and have had more time to invest in my skin care routine which is nice and my skin is so clear!
Oh my gosh, thank you for the reminders! My skin has been a wreck since quarantine started! 😮
You have shared some really good info About skin and its care.
Yes girl, you have got to take care of your skin!! Drinking lots of water is so incredibly important for you skin, I notice a huge difference in my skin when I haven’t been good about staying hydrated!
Good skin is a result of many things, some of which you have already mentioned. I believe if we eat properly and sleep well, it shows on our skin ☺️
I have recently restarted my skin care routine and trying to eat healthy,I can already see a great change in my skin.Thanks a lot for tips!
I have always had really good skin but I have ALWAYS taken care of it. I think it’s very important to do so!
All these points are so true to get a healthy looking skin. Healthy diet and water intake is definitely a good habit.
I think having enough sleep and drinking water are things I need to work on.
I think everyone has had issues with their skin during this time. Mostly due to their eating and drinking habits. It’s important to know that good nutrition makes great skin!
Eating healthy food and drinking lots of water are sooo important! Your skin is glowing!
Good tips! Even though I am wearing a mask so often, my skin has managed to hold it together. I always stay hydrated because of my transplant. THanks for sharing!
It is so important to have a skin care routine. It is more than the products you use but the stuff you put in your body like you mentioned water. Awesome tips!!!🤗
Oh, I do need a DIY mask for sure
Wow you look glowing Moni Skin care is my favorite routine awesome tips from you!
You are looking beautiful as always. And yes, you cannot give up on your skin during this time. All of these things seem like good ways to make sure you take care of it. I think the hardest part has had to deal with the mask-wearing and how that seems to be affecting the skin in some interesting ways on the face.
I had ignored skin care at the start of lockdown thinking since I’m not stepping out I can avoid it…but I realised that skin needs to be taken care of
I keep forgetting to care for my skin especially this busy days… we moved house and I have an infant , all attention to them that I didn’t have the chance to take care of myself . Glad to bump into your site that reminded me to take care of My skin and myself .
I desperately need to work on my water intake. I see a difference in my skin when I drink more water, but I’m still not drinking nearly enough.
Quarantine has worsened my skin. Thanks for the great skin care tips.
Moisturizing is especially crucial since when you go outside you use so much alcohol solutions to get rid of germs!
Skin care is a really good thing to pay attention to this quarantine!
You’re either alone or with company, but skin care is still definitely a must!
Taking lots of water gives us amazing benefits especially for our skin.
Totally agree with you and this is the best time to make our skin healthy and beautiful. Earlier I used to ignore my skin but with time I have realized that our skin also needs pampering.
Yes to all of this — more so your water intake. Staying hydrated helps with your skin.
I’ve honestly been super slack with my skin care during quarantine, and today it’s REALLY noticeable! My work closed down three weeks ago so I’ve been putting barely any care into my appearance, so I stopped doing face masks and scrubs, and it’s not fair to my skin. Clearly, stumbling across your post is a sign that I need to look after my skin more, so I should start my routine back up, because my skin deserves it!
My skincare routine was one of the things I managed to improve during lockdown. Cleansing, toning and using SPF really helped to improve my skin.
I need to get back to my skin care routine. Thank you for the tips.
I have totally upped my water intake during this time but as for rest, these kids wouldn’t let me have any and let’s just ignore the fact that my food hasn’t been the healthiest but I am going to be changing that.
Such simple tips but they’re so often forgotten when we’re stressed and overwhelmed (and a global pandemic will definitely make you stressed and overwhelmed!). Thanks for the reminder x
Such simple tips, but so easily forgotten when you’re stressed and overwhelmed (and a global pandemic is probably going to make you feel stressed and overwhelmed!). Thanks for the reminder! x
You shared useful tips for effective skincare, for both men and women. The importance of having a good night’s sleep stays with me.
One of the things I’ve also been doing for my skin care is smearing fresh aloe vera all over my face. Call me crazy but I’m pretty sure it helps to rid the face of acne. It leaves my skin feeling supple! I’ve been neglecting sleep though lol
These are some great tips, I’ve been trying to up my water intake too!
I love, love, LOVE this post! So many posts like this talk about the right cream to use or the right serum. I love it when people remind us that diet, hydration, and sleep are the foundation of great skin.
Thank you.. Please share it with your friends….
Good news is that during quarantine I havent been wearing a lot of makeup, but I think i need more rest!!
My wife and I started to take care of our skin weekly and it really really feels great. Great tips, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Great post! I couldn’t agree more with these tips. Getting enough sleep is so important for our skin as well as health ☺
Since quarantine, I have definitely been upping my skincare game. Water and diet are so often overlooked so thanks for sharing.
I need to make sure I’m drinking more water! Thank you for the tips!
good tips. when you’re a recluse at home during covid-19, it is easy to start neglecting your skincare regiment.
This is something I needed to read! My skin is horrible during this time. Mainly, because of my lack of sleep. Hopefully, my skin will return to normal.
I definitely agree with you! Enough sleep and dehydrating will really help our skin. Also thank you for sharing your other helpful tips!
I always forget how important sleep is!!
yeah!! I also paid more attention to my skincare routines during my lockdown period, so happy with my healthier skin 😀
cheers, siennylovesdrawing
These are some really useful tips. I need to take more water as it is one of the best remedies.
Taking more water and rest always get the job done. It will all be as natural, a process, as possible.
It’s not that we don’t go outside as much that we have to forget to take care of our body and skin – it is very important to keep doing our routine 🙂
As they always say, drink water at least 8 glasses per day. It will totally keep you healthy and stress free. And with that you’ll definitely have a great skin.
This is a great post about skin care! I found it very interesting! Thank you for sharing!
We always have to take care of our skin! This is also a good reminder for myself because I’ve been sleeping less during this quarantine. Thank you for sharing your routine.
Thanks for your wonderful tips and they are useful. Especially in summer when I get all sweaty just walking out of the house – Knycx Journeying
All these tips are so important to have a healthy skin and they are so easy to follow. I should really make it a habit to sleep properly as well as drink water.
haha… i had t return to read your pointers again…. as always though, the body always reflect what you fuel it with so good clean eating and plenty of water is Key.
Keeping myself hydrated is what I usually do and has never failed. 😊 Thanks for these tips!
I am horrible with skin care. I can definitley do better in that department. I do drink lots of water during the day, however, so that is something, haha.
Great tips I’m still working on the water.
The best thing that happened to me this quarantine period is that I got so much time to take care of my skin than ever before. Plus I eat healthily, more fruits and vegetables, and lots of water. Got so much sleep too and I love it.
I think eating healthy is the most important one. It really helps that you are taking in vitamins and minerals. It aids in skin also!
Even before the quarantine, I was already lazy. Now more than ever, I have become extremely lazy. This is a good wake up call. My skin needs more TLC.
Skin is still important even though we aren’t going out much!! Drinking plenty of water is a must!! Great skin care tips!!
So right eh, just because we don’t go out often doesn’t mean we won’t take care our skin
Great tips, I always find water makes so much difference to my skin
The pandemic has definitely forced people to learn to embrace and enjoy their own company and space… at least those folks who couldn’t do it before. My self-care, skincare routine hasn’t changed much because I have maintained a healthy, balanced lifestyle for years. That said, I am looking forward to seeing the end to the pandemic and that a cure/vaccine would be found.
I really need to start taking better care of my skin. It’s so easy to forget things like that when you get out of your routine.
Great tips! I’m trying my best to follow a routine during this quarantine.
I need a skincare routine. I am breaking out because of the mask.
When I hit 25, I started investing to taking care of my skin, and now I am enjoying the fruit of my labor. Still will continue to do so, and help to slow down the aging process. All you’ve recommendations help so much.
Neglecting our skin care regime can be devastating to our skin. These are all awesome ideas.
Great tips! Water and moisturizer are saving graces for our skin! Especially now! Saving your tips to improve my own routine.
Having a good amount of sleeping hours helps to keep our skin healthy and stress-free. And drinking lots of water and staying away from artificial sweets.
