Facial care during quarantine

We don't usually have the enough time to carry out proper facial care, so why not take advantage of the time we are at home now to do so?

Have you ever spent so much time at home before? The answer is probably, no. Take advantage of this situation to make the most of your skin, now that it is not suffering from pollution, the sun's rays, or clogged pores caused by daily make-up. Because following a beauty routine at home is very simple; take note.

In-depth facial skin cleansing

Clean your hands: before starting your daily facial cleansing routine, it is essential for you to disinfect your hands well, because they will be in direct contact with your facial skin.
Use cotton towels and wash them daily: the use of reusable sponges is not recommended, because they can house virus and bacteria.
Cleanse your skin:gently massage the skin of your face with cleansing milk foam, using your fingertips, paying attention to forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. Then rinse with water and dab on tonic soaked in cotton wool. The use of soap is not recommended, because this may be more aggressive.
Exfoliate: apply an exfoliant to finish eliminating the dead cells from your skin.

Facial moisturising: Masks and creams

Apply a mask:now is the moment to relax and apply a mask. You can use any of the options available on the market, or make your own homemade one with honey, lemon and cucumber (heat 3 spoonfuls of honey in the microwave, add 10 drops of lemon juice and you’re done). Apply the mask to face and neck, and wait for 15 minutes. Then remove it and apply very fine cucumber slices, leaving them to act for another 5 or 6 minutes.
Moisturise and massage your skin: after this routine, moisturise your skin with your day cream, and spend a few moments gently massaging your whole face. End with a head massage to relax.
Eye contour: this is one of those products that are used very little, probably due to lack of time, but now is the perfect occasion. Apply it with gentle dabs to stimulate circulation.
Solar protection: yes, you’ve heard right; even though we are at home we can have terraces or rooms with a lot of light, apart from the fact that artificial light and computer screens can also lead to the appearance of spots. Experts recommend always finishing a facial cleansing routine by protecting ourselves from the sun.
