No matter if I'm outside or lounging indoors with my family, I make sure to keep up with my skincare routine. And even if I'm not wearing any makeup, it doesn't excuse me from taking care of my skin. I want to make sure my skin stays healthy and youthful as long as possible.
Is It Necessary to Wear Sunscreen Indoors?
Some people think that they don't have to do anything to their skin while indoors in solitude, but believe it or not, if your home has windows, the sun UV rays shine through and can still cause your skin to develop fine lines, discoloration, premature aging. And you don't want that!
Plus, if you're not taking care of your skin regularly, like washing your face, moisturizing, and using sunscreen, your skin can become dirty, uneven with clogged pores, and damaged.
During my downtime, it gives me time to focus more on my skincare needs. I stopped wearing makeup while inside and gave my skin time to breathe, heal, and renew.
I've been trying out a variety of different products to see how my skin reacts to them. One of my favorite brands I have been using lately is Paula's Choice Skincare, who creates smart, safe beauty products that are effective. Check out below a few I've been including in my indoors skincare routine:
Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant- After I wash and dry my skin, I use this exfoliant to remove whatever my facial wash left behind. This exfoliant has salicylic acid that deeply cleanses clogged skin while shrinking enlarged pores, revealing a smoother, even skin tone. I also like using it to remove makeup as well.
I use this liquid exfoliant twice a day by applying it on a cotton pad and wiping it all over my face and neck to remove any impurities. Then, I follow up with a moisturizer or serum.
Paula's Choice Omega+ Complex Serum- This serum is a nourishing treat that my skin loves! The silky-smooth serum with chia and flaxseed strengthens my skin giving me a soft and glowing canvas. The serum can be used morning and night, and if used in daytime and going outdoors, it must be followed with a sunscreen.
Paula's Choice Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid- After using the serum to help moisturize my skin, I apply this broad-spectrum SPF 50 with antioxidants and soothing plant extracts to protect my skin from harmful sun UV rays. Not only does this water-light fluid prevents skin damage, but it also helps avoid aging and minimizes the appearances of pores.
Remember, don't put your skincare routine to the wayside just because you're inside your home and not going anywhere, you must continue to take care of it.
Also, make sure to eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of water. Regardless of what skincare products you use, if you're not taking care of your body, your skincare products won't work effectively.
With me not wearing makeup, and focusing on my skin, it made a tremendous difference!
