According to the recommendation of social isolation to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, we spend hours and hours, and days and days, without leaving the house or just doing it for a few minutes … how to adapt our antiaging and skin care routine? We talked to Shani Darden, a beautician from Los Angeles who takes care of the skin of VIPs like Jessica Alba, Chrissy Teigen or Shay Mitchell, about the best products and ingredients that you should include in your routine at this time.

What do you recommend for skin care when we spend so much time at home?

Be careful with your beauty routine and get a facial once or twice a week. Get a facial massage while you wash your face to stimulate circulation, use a chemical scrub, then a hydrating mask. Finish with a serum and a specific moisturizer for your skin type. This is a good time to test a device at home, for example, if you want to tone and reaffirm, try one of microcurrents. I have been using NuFace Trinity Pro which exercises the muscles of the face. When you use it consistently you see significant results. I also recommend LED light therapy, which stimulates collagen production, minimizes wrinkles, and stimulates circulation. I start with 20 minutes of Deesse Mask, a calming ritual that is essential right now.

And the diet?

Make sure that you are nurturing your skin from within as well. If you are eating a lot of processed food, sugar and carbohydrates can cause inflammation and appear on your face in the form of pimples.

What creams and ingredients do you recommend?

For me Retinol Reform is the product that I cannot live without. It is a multipurpose serum to achieve a more youthful and brighter skin. It combines lactic acid with retinol to produce more collagen and to minimize wrinkles, reduce hyperpigmentation (blemishes) and equalize skin tone. It is very effective and does not cause the dryness or irritation that is usually associated with retinol. Nigma's Serum No 1 is great for deep hydration. Use it in the morning and at night to keep skin nourished. I also love Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peel Pads to exfoliate the skin. Exfoliation is very important to remove dead skin and allow products to penetrate and absorb well.

What about cleaning?

I always recommend a mild cleanser. Even if you don't wear makeup, it is very important to wash your face twice a day. Cleansing Serum cleans very well without drying out the skin, it is formulated with oat extract to repair the protective barrier of the skin and olive oil and chicory to reduce inflammation.
