Working from home probably means more days without makeup and more time to give your skin some TLC. Why not use the hour you usually spend commuting to work to slip on a foot mask? Or the 10 minutes you take to pop out of the office to visit your favorite barista—the perfect time to use one of our face masks!
Here’s our handy guide to help you (and your skin) get the most out of working from home:
1. Multitasking during your Zoom happy hour
Why not turn your House Party or Zoom Happy Hour into a mask party? What better way to wind down on a Friday night than with a sheet mask and your favorite bottle of wine? Ask friends to share their must-have skincare tips and tricks—you might learn their secret to glowing, flawless skin. Psst, ours is a sheet mask twice a week, every week.
2. Business at the top, party at the bottom
We’re all business at the top, but it’s free rein when it comes to the bottom. Treat yourself to a foot mask while on video calls—your boss won’t be any the wiser! Choose from at-home skin peeling treatments that remove dead skin cells after 7 days, like the SKIN REPUBLIC Foot Peel. Or a moisturizing treatment such as the SKIN REPUBLIC Foot Repair, which gets to work soothing dry skin and cracked heels in just 20 minutes.
3. Pop on a face mask between video calls
Suffice it to say, we’re all a bit stressed right now, and one of the first places to show signs of stress? You guessed it—your skin. Take those 15 minutes between video calls to tackle those skin issues. Choose a face mask to target your specific skin concern, whether it’s dark spots, signs of aging, pimples, or dryness. Give your skin a quick cleanse and pop on a sheet mask. Added bonus? You’ll be glowing in your next video call—just don’t forget to take the mask off!
4. Giving your skin a break
Working from home = more makeup-free days. Give your skin a much-needed break by ditching the makeup a few days a week. This will allow your skin to breathe, reduce clogged pores, and let your skin absorb skincare products more efficiently. It also gives you the chance to pop on that mask or under-eye patches if you’ve got a free moment—no need to waste time washing off and reapplying your makeup!
5. Take a Time Out
Often, we feel guilty for taking a few minutes to relax when working from home. It’s important to still make time for yourself, and it’s okay to take 15 minutes if you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed. Pop on a face mask, brew a cup of tea, set the timer for 15 minutes, and take some time out.
6. Give Retinol a Try
Since you’ll be spending more time indoors, why not give your skin an intensive retinol boost? Retinol can make your skin more sensitive to the sun, so it’s best to avoid UV rays or apply sunscreen for at least 2 weeks after treatment. Retinol can also leave your skin looking a little red (due to accelerating the skin cell renewal process), so spending more time at home makes it the perfect time to treat your skin to a Retinol Face Mask.
