Weiser recommends aiming for a broad spectrum (UVA and UVB) 30+ SPF.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adjust your skin-care routine<\/strong><br \/>\nNot bothering with makeup and still breaking out? Weiser says she\u2019s still seeing \u201ca good amount of acne happening now, especially along the jawline,\u201d because stress triggers hormonal jawline acne. Plus, a lack of air circulation while working from home is like \u201csitting in a plane all day,\u201d which can exacerbate dry skin. While hormonal acne \u201cis tricky to treat topically,\u201d Weiser recommends choosing products with sulfur or salicylic acid. For dry skin, she suggests looking for moisturizers and serums rich in squalane, hyaluronic acid, ceramides or shea butter.<\/p>\n<h2>Hair<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Tress de-stress<\/strong><br \/>\nDermatologist Bhanusali says that he is seeing patients with\u00a0<em>telogen effluvium<\/em>, a rapid shedding of the hair, which usually occurs after a traumatic event. \u201cWe usually see this postpartum, after the death of a loved one or another stressful event,\u201d he says. Major hair loss is hard to treat at home, but first, Bhanusali tells patients to try to relax to stop the shed. Next, he says, an over-the-counter product like minoxidil may help to \u201cjumpstart\u201d the hair regrowth process. But real treatment comes in the form of prescription steroid drops or injections.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Skip the dry shampoo<\/strong><br \/>\nYou probably know that hot hair tools such as straighteners, irons and blow dryers can fry your hair, but some products like dry shampoo can cause breakage, too. \u201cEvery time you use a product, it builds up on the hair shaft,\u201d Bhanusali says. \u201cThink of your hair as a plant. If you start weighing on the branches, they will break off.\u201d Depending on oiliness, for women, he recommends washing hair during lockdown only 1 to 2 times per week. Men, however, tend to have more oil secretions and might require more frequent shampoos, he says.<\/p>\n<h2>Nails<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t ignore your cuticles\u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\nTo\u00a0maintain cuticle health\u00a0while under quarantine, gently push back \u2014 never cut \u2014 the cuticle and moisturize with a heavy-duty cream, says Dana Stern, MD, an Upper East Side dermatologist and nail-health specialist. \u201cA dry, dehydrated cuticle can lift and separate, leading to nail infection and abnormal nail growth and appearance,\u201d she says. If that happens, use a cuticle nipper \u2014 never bite or pull.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Look at labels<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen shopping for at-home manicure kits and moisturizers, Stern recommends these key ingredients: sunflower and Brazil-nut oils for cuticle health and fingernail flexibility; urea-alpha hydroxy acids to improve the texture of rough, dry nails; glycolic acid to boost hydration; and\u00a0<em>Pistacia lentiscus<\/em>\u00a0to help strengthen.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No hairstylists.
