Kiehl’s at Home: A Stay-Inside Skin Care Regimen

Yes, your skin will recover from the lack of sunlight and fresh air. Especially with the help of the good people of Kiehl’s, who have a lot to say about minimizing the adverse effects of these current indoor times:

Keep it consistent.

Skin, like so many parts and processes of the human body, follows an internal clock, a “sleep-wake” cycle more commonly known as circadian rhythm. What that means is, whatever you do to treat your skin, you should do it every day, in the morning and again at night.

Three words: Water, water, water:

Nothing nourishes and replenishes the body—and skin—quite like drinking water. Add a couple glasses to your daily intake to compensate for all that hand washing. That, plus a moisturizer, will help fight the dry skin.

A daily dose of sunshine:

There is no substitute for the real thing, so considering our current situation, perhaps try standing outside your door for 20 minutes (if it’s a safe distance from people). At the very least, open the windows and let the fresh air flow.

Get moving:

Keep active, as best you can. It boosts blood circulation, and that boosts skin wellness.

Don’t think of facial massages as pampering; think of them as necessary:

Massage the skin in an upward circular motion to promote circulation. Apply a face cleanser, serum, and moisturizer for the full feel-good effect.

Stay calm:

We all relax and unwind in our own way, so take some time to do what works for you. Our two cents: Now more than ever, everyone can benefit from regular technology breaks.
