We all know how exposure to extreme weather and heat can cause our skin to dry up big time. But did you know your skin can also get dry even if you are just inside your homes?
During this present outbreak, taking care of oneself is the number one priority. And that should also include keeping your skin healthy. But how can you keep your skin healthy in a time when buying lotions and other beauty products are the least priority since hygiene tend to be more important?
During this situation, it is better to know remedies, most can be found in your kitchen, which can naturally heal your dry skin. To give you more idea about it, here are some of those you can use.
OLIVE OIL
Considered as a natural moisturizer and cleanser, olive oil is best to use to keep your skin pampered while you are locked inside your room during the current coronavirus outbreak, as advised by Belmondo Skin Care. It can help remove dead skin and dirt without stripping the necessary oils in your face and body. You just simply apply it in on the face or body and wrap it up with a damp and warm cloth for a few minutes. And you're all set.
OATMEAL
Did you know that oatmeal can normalize your skin's pH levels and could help restore its health? With all its goodness, why not include a cup of this stuff to your warm bath? Rehydrate and soothe your skin with this main ingredient, shared Everday Health. It won't cost you too much, but it could help soften and protect your skin from irritants big time.
COCONUT OIL
"Coconut oil becomes solid at room temperature, so use it as a moisturizing cream at bedtime or anytime", said Tsippora Shainhouse, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at Los Angeles-based Dermatology Institute and Skin Care Center. All thanks to its medium-chain fatty acids, which can help moisturize your skin effectively. It also has antimicrobial properties that could help heal acne and protect your skin from pathogens.
Aside from olive oil, oatmeal, and coconut oil, there is still other good stuff you can use to keep your skin from getting dry while at home this coronavirus outbreak. Some of those are milk, honey, and fruit enzymes from pumpkin, papaya, and pineapple, and aloe vera.
To keep your skin healthy and nourished, it is also better to keep yourself hydrated. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and healthy beverages such as fruit juices. You should also refrain from using products with harsh chemicals.
