Simple Tips for healthy skin: during lockdown


We all have a little more time on our hands now that we have to stay home all day every day. Among the many different chores and work we have to do, here are a few tips if you are a girl and want to make your skin a priority. 

  • Put your phone on speaker 
When you are at home and doing those catch ups with your family or in the middle of taking business calls you can be exposing your skin to the dirt that gets carried on your phone. Our phones lay all over the house and the germs collected on it can transfer to your skin during a phone call and clog your pores with dirt and junk without you even realizing it. Over time you start getting blackheads on the side of your face and wonder where they came from. You can use your speaker and avoid those germs which might make it a little tougher to get clear skin 

  • Don't Forget to wash your makeup off before you go to bed! 
Makeup? during quarantine? Yes, we see you doing those tik toks. ;) Just kidding but if you are like me and put on makeup (Sometimes) then don't forget to take it off before you go to bed and wash your face directly afterwards to make sure all of the excess is gone.

  • Exfoliate/ Use a Mask more than once a week 
Yes, More than once a week! If you're anything like me when you are busy this is one of the last things you think about and slack down to once a month! But now you are at home and you can wear that mask to work;). This also depends on your skin type. If you tend  to struggle with a lot of dry skin (especially during the winter months) use a enzymatic exfoliator at least twice a week and top it off with a hydrating mask! Your skin will feel much smoother and soft and it will help you feel more motivated to take care of your skin everyday! 

  • Wear Sunscreen 
Don't forget to put on your SPF even while you are inside. Make sure you purchase a good SPF as this will protect your skin from UV light from the sun, your phone and your laptop. This should be your most important priority when looking after your skin.

  • Use a Serum or Eye Cream
If you are serious about your skin and want to go further than the daily cleanse, cream and sun block then purchase a serum or eye cream for the specific concern or effect you want. This will definitely be worth it and you might consider taking the extra time to really look after your skin once you go back to work or school.

Those are the tips I can give you to motivate you to take better care of your skin. If you have any other tips or concerns comment down below! I hope I can help.

Any advice? HELP MEEE Oh, PS: here is a picture of it down below!  And its open like this at the back!

What is Somatology?

Somatology is the study of the body and its functions. We can use our background knowledge to treat our clients holistically, mind, body and soul through different treatments( from facials to body care treatments) focusing on in salon treatment, home care advice on exercise, nutrition and products!  We are not able to cure any diseases but we can work alongside doctors to help treat our clients in the best way possible. We are not only concerned with what goes on inside the body but can provide you with superficial treatments as such as make-up, waxing, manicures and pedicures. The subjects I study include Anatomy and Physiology, Nutrition as well as treatment and therapies such as Aromatherapy and Reflexology( which I LOVE). It is very exciting and always keeps me on my toes.  However, at the moment I am studying from home due to the lock-down in South Africa. We would normally go into class all week and have practical classes for three out of  five days. We practice on ...
