Self-Care During Quarantine
We know life is crazy right now, and it’s easy to get caught up in the uncertainty and unease that is spreading faster than COVID-19. Not being able to follow your normal daily routine, being stuck inside, and not having any major social obligations on your calendar can be pretty unmotivating. I don’t know about you, but for me, working from home means waking up and changing out of my nighttime sweats and into my day sweats. That is the extent of how much time I have been taking to get ready every morning. I’m finding it much easier to binge eat all my quarantine snacks than to take care of myself and not let the negativity get to me. Here are a few tips about the importance of self-care during quarantine.
If you’re like me and think it’s time to change this mindset, keep reading! We have some self-care during quarantine tips and will also explain the reason NOW is more important than ever to focus on taking care of yourself.

First, let’s talk about stress and anxiety and what effects it has on your skin. Anxiety can cause extreme physical discomfort, which in turn can wreak havoc on our skin. Anxiety can have an impact on skin health. For those suffering from acne, eczema, hair pulling, hives, psoriasis, rosacea, and skin picking, anxiety can increase symptoms and cause uncomfortable flare-ups. When we no longer feel safe or in control, the skin can respond. Better anxiety management makes for better skin. It is also extra important to have a solid skincare routine suited best for your skin to get you through these uncertain times. Focusing some time on yourself can be a great way to lower stress and anxiety. Self-Care has never been more important than right now.
