Dry sensitive and irritated skin from mask wearing...
Mask wearing during winter, sheltering in place spending more time indoors with heaters has not been helpful for dry skin conditions. For those who struggle with rosacea or other dry sensitive skin conditions please read on for tips and guidance on how to treat your skin daily!
Dry Skin Tips and Guidance...
  • The air is much drier inside and our hydration levels become depleted causing major dryness.
  • Exfoliate 2-3x's per week with a gentle exfoliant! Dead skin acts as a barrier making it difficult for moisturizers to penetrate.
  • Add a concentrated serum to your skincare routine one with ingredients such as: Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium PCA, Sodium Hyaluronate and Peptides.  
  • Indoor heaters wreak havoc on our skin and dry it out so add an extra blanket and turn off heaters at night!
  • Moisturizers should contain skin hydrators that your own skin manufactures this is the only way it can recognize them and allow them to penetrate deeply otherwise it will sit on the surface.
  • For extremely dry skin apply your serum, then moisturizer over the top, then, apply one more thin layer of serum (over the top of the moisturizer) to seal it in.

Maskne Tips and Guidance...
  • Wearing a fabric mask? Wash it daily with anti-bacterial soap to prevent bacteria from spreading to your skin.
  • Congestion around the mouth, jawline, and chin use a mandelic acid serum on the entire face, and focus on the area surrounding the mouth to fight bacteria and congestion while wearing your mask.
  • Exfoliate 3-4x's per week if your skin is NOT sensitive keeping the cells turning over consistently to help prevent pores from clogging.
  • Benzoyl Peroxide in a lower dose 5% during the daytime and 10% at night to help clear up breakouts quickly and keep pores from clogging.
