Lockdown hasn’t prevented us from still hoarding our must-have beauty products. The right beauty regimen can do wonders for your skin. Being in lockdown doesn’t mean your skin needs a break from a daily routine. Keep up with using these products to prevent any skin issues like irritation from routine mask wearing. The following are the top picks from the team at the New York Institute of Beauty:

Daily Microfoliant

Daily Microfoliant from Dermalogica

Without being able to keep up with your regular facial appointments, it’s extremely important that you’re exfoliating daily. The Daily Microfoliant removes dead skin cells and instantly brightens the skin. Ingredients help even skin tone and calm any irritated areas of the face. The vegan formulation is activated after coming into contact with water and includes all-natural ingredients such as papain, rice enzymes, phytic acid from rice Bran, white tea, and licorice.

Barrier Repair from Dermalogica

Barrier Repair has been a must for taking care of damaged skin that has resulted from the use of n95 masks. After extended use of protective masks, it’s not usual for skin to feel sensitive and become irritated. Barrier Repair moisturizes and soothes the inflamed areas on your skin by reinforcing the natural barrier. Use twice a day—in the morning before applying any makeup or at evening before bedtime.

Pigment Bar from PCA Skin

Environmental elements along with frequent mask wearing can cause severe skin inflammation. The Pigment Bar reduces inflammation and evens out skin tone. The formulation is sensitive enough for every day use and hydrates the skin after application. The Pigment Bar is effective against pigment issues on the face and the body. Apply in the morning as part of your cleansing routine.

Intellishade from Revision Skincare

The reason we are big fans of Intellishade is that the product works on almost all skin types and acts as a tinted moisturizer. With built-in UV protection, your skin is safe from the sun’s harmful rays. The moisturizer has anti-aging benefits and leaves you with a healthy glow after each use, even if you’re not wearing makeup under your mask. Available in a variety of formulations including Original and Matte.
