Anyone else’s skin terrible since lockdown?!

[Rosiejim]

My skin has never been worse!

I haven’t changed my diet
I haven’t work any make up at all for two weeks
I’ve been showering as usual

My face is covered in huge (HUGE) spots.

Why?!

Me too. My skin is pretty temperamental anyway, TBH, but it's been especially rubbish recently. Stressful couple of months, we moved house a few weeks before CV got to be a problem in the UK. I don't normally wear makeup at all.

Take vitamin D.

Have you changed your washing powder because you can't get your usual stuff? We have bought a different scent of usual powder and my toddler's face is covered in tiny bumps. My elder son used to be just the same if we changed washing powder. Need to look for our usual stuff.

No mine is way better. Less make up, less stress, more water and exercise!

Mine is way better than normal. I never wear makeup and have no skincare regime (I wash my face in she shower and put on some Barry M serum stuff once a week or so if my skin feels like it needs pepping up, but that’s literally it). Ironically I have been outdoors way more than usual as have two preschoolers to entertain so have been in the garden more or less dawn - dusk so I think that’s why.

Yes! Eczema break out and a few large spots. Can't get to a sun bed to sort eczema out and I'm never out the biscuit tin which doesn't help

Mine is awful too!

Full of acne - I’m consuming more milk because I’m trying to save eggs so I’m having cereal for breakfast.

Yes, awful. I think it’s a lack of vitamin D.

I’m spotty and scaly too!

My skin is so dry on my hands it’s starting to crack and my chin is covered in spots. I’ve not been make up either so I do wonder if it is stress

I've got very angry stress hives look like I've been attacked by a bunch of vampires!

Yes ..I have super smooth skin and gave rash type bumps on both arms and breast area. I said jokingly today 'maybe chemtrail are true' and we've been sprayed in our back garden.

I've been letting my skin care routine slide and it is backfiring!

I've got huge spots on my cheeks and I've not had spots for years.
I assumed it was the ppe masks at work as they make me sweat so much!
Ive just plastered my face with sudocrem

Mine too! I thought not wearing make up would have made it better.

Yes, I have eczema which is cracked and bleeding all over my hands. It's keeping me awake as I keep scraping it on the duvet or pillow.

No, the opposite, my skin is really clear. I'm guessing it's the reduced pollution and not bothering with makeup. I'm not eating so much shit either as I'm being careful with food to save on trips to the supermarket, that must be a factor too.

My two teens and DS have awful skin all of a sudden! DH was just mentioning it, sore red boil type spots on his neck etc. And teens have painful looking spots too, they usually have clear skin.
Dunno what it is, they’ve been out in the garden loads.

My hands however, they're destroyed. Like crepe paper they're so dry from all the hand washes.

Mine looks a bit grey

Yes! Mine has been awful and a few have popped up where they never do. I think it’s stress .

I upped my Retin-A recently to the highest strength, so my skin is looking amazing. My stomach, however, is an absolute disaster and I’m having stress-induced IBS most days.

Mine is terrible. Like a pp I have crepe paper hands now and multiple boil like spots which pop out creamy pus and blood. Thankfully not in a visible area.

Mine isn’t as good as usual. In my case I think it’s because I’m not drinking anywhere near the amount that I usually do, because I’m so busy with the children. Also stress won’t be helping either!
