We are slowly emerging from the Covid emergency, even if the health of many of us has suffered significant consequences. Did you know that even the skin of the face, body and our hair can be affected by the Sars-Covid 19 infection? Here are 3 tips for taking care of our skin after the illness!
Our skin and Covid 19
The infection attacks our skin and its effects are visible even after the end of the disease. In particular, we may have a feeling of dry skin that can be compared to eczema, which appears on the neck and chest with particularly itchy pink spots that can last a long time; sometimes in the most serious cases a rash with a prickly heat, irregular and very itchy, may appear, which most commonly affects small areas such as hands, feet and elbows. Our skin, therefore, finds itself stressed and attacked by external agents and the consequences of this are found even after months with dry or irritated skin. Even hair after some time can be affected by falling out quite significantly. What to do in this case? Follow our 3 tips!
1. Moisturize your skin every day
Giving water to our skin is essential, especially during the summer and after being subjected to Covid. In this case, only moisturizing creams, such as Clinique's Moisture Surge 100H , are not enough, but also powerful and hydrating serums capable of penetrating deep into the skin. Let's not forget to cleanse it deeply first.
2. Use an anti-aging beauty routine for mature skin
Several aging phenomena from Sars Covid 19 have been detected both on the hands and on the face, which in some people seemed more marked and "tired". For this reason we recommend anti-aging treatments such as Estee Lauder's Revitalizing Supreme which not only hydrates and gives brightness to the skin, but is a real treatment against skin aging.
3. Let's strengthen our hair
Hair loss is normal after a fever or days of illness. Since one of the consequences of Covid-19 is high fever, a few months after contracting it, many people notice significant hair loss. This phase, also called telogen effluvium, is nothing more than a time of year in which more hair than normal falls out following a hair growth cycle. The situation in which the hair is weakened after Covid-19 can last for two or three months after the illness. For this reason, first of all, you must not get agitated, but rather maintain a state of calm so as not to aggravate the situation; immediately afterwards, it is necessary to change the shampoo and mask to give it movement and dynamism back. Based on your scalp and hair type, choose hydrating and non-aggressive products that can help the hair in its natural regrowth.
However, if you find more serious pathologies on your skin and hair, it is absolutely necessary to consult your doctor.
