HOW TO
PROTECT YOUR SKIN INDOORS
by Elite Aesthetics, Greenhithe
WHILE THE CORONAVIRUS MAY BE SHELTERING US FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD MORE THAN
WE MAY LIKE, IT IS NOW EVEN MORE IMPORTANT TO LOOK AFTER OUR SKIN. FROM OUR
DAILY OUTSIDE WALKS, STRESS AND ANXIETY, AND WITH SUMMER JUST AROUND THE
CORNER, OUR SKIN NEEDS SOME TLC - ESPECIALLY WHILST WE ARE MISSING OUR CLINIC-
BASED SKINCARE TREATMENTS.
So, how do you look after your skin inside?
Moisturise!
Make sure you’re moisturising your hands and
face regularly. Top tip: always moisturise after
washing your hands while they’re still a bit damp,
this way the moisture is trapped in your skin better.
Indoor air can be dry, which is why it’s important
to use products like those used by our revered
HydraFacial treatment. Look for products
with hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid
in them to promote moisture and keep your skin
looking its best.
SPF products are just as important indoors
Just because you’re indoors it doesn’t mean the sun’s
rays can’t impact on you. UVA light can penetrate
through window glass meaning you’re still at risk for
photoageing and sun damage. Be sure to apply a
mineral-based SPF product to make sure the sun’s
rays cannot harm your skin. And when you do
venture outside, ensure you have applied your
sunscreen at least 30 minutes before leaving home
and take it with you for regular top ups.
Try not to use your phone too much
Phones, tablets and computers all emit blue light,
also known as high energy visible light, that have
been shown to have a harmful impact on the skin,
so even if you’re stuck for things to do, make sure
you’re taking a break from looking at screens!
The HydraFacial
Once all this is over you’re going to want to step out
into the world looking and feeling your best, which
is why you should opt to give your face the best
treatment there is… step forward the HydraFacial!
Offering instant, noticeable results with no downtime
or irritation, the HydraFacial treatment works to
detoxify skin, remove dead skin cells and extract
impurities, as well as hydrating and nourishing skin
to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles, target open
pores, reduce sun damage, correct problematic skin,
and instantly rejuvenate dull complexions. It is easy
to see why the HydraFacial is not only one of our
most popular and sought-after treatments, but also
why this soothing and refreshing facial will be the
perfect post-lockdown skin treat.
