Dr. Catherine Chang’s Top Tips For Pampering Your Skin At Home Amidst The Pandemic
Throughout the chaos of the global pandemic, pampering ourselves has not been of high priority and with salons and med spas closing their doors we have been left with the task of keeping our skin happy and healthy at home. Dr. Catherine Chang is a Beverly Hills-based plastic and reconstructive surgeon who champions embracing and enhancing natural beauty. Here, Dr. Catherine Chang shares her top tips for pampering your skin at home.
Steam your face
According to Dr. Catherine Chang, treating your skin to a steam facial once or twice a week is a wonderful way to open your pores and hydrate your skin. To give yourself a refreshing steam facial she explains that all you need is a large towel, a bowl of hot water, and your favorite essential oils. Simply add your oils to the bowl of water and drape the towel over your head, relax and breathe in the aroma of the essential oils while your skin enjoys a DIY trip to the sauna.
Upgrade your bath
There is nothing quite as relaxing as a luxurious bath and Dr. Catherine Chang shares that taking a few steps to upgrade your bath time is the perfect way to pamper your skin at home. For the ultimate tranquil and cleansing bath, Dr. Catherine Chang suggests that you leave your bubble bath on the shelf and instead add some relaxing lavender essential oils to your bathwater. You can also add a few sprigs of dried lavender to truly immerse yourself in the tranquil aroma.
Pamper yourself with a facial mask
Luckily for us, at-home face can be just as effective as in-spa treatments. Dr. Catherine Chang shares that indulging in an at-home facial mask can keep your skin looking hydrated and refreshed. Look for masks that contain hyaluronic acid to visibly plump up wrinkles and lines.
Dr. Catherine Chang believes that your skin deserves your full attention and pampering during this challenging time, showing your skin some much-needed TLC will help you to relax and come out of this time of upheaval with glowing healthy skin.
