Working odd hours can be tough on your skin. Shift workers face issues like poor sleep, fatigue, stress, and blue light exposure. But with the right routine and lifestyle tweaks, you can keep your skin healthy and glowing.
The Power of a Simple Routine
Sticking to a basic skincare routine is key for shift workers. It may seem hard with changing schedules, but adapting your routine to each shift (day, night, rotating) helps keep skin nourished.
Hardworking Ingredients
Use antioxidant-rich products with vitamin C, E, and green tea to fight free radical damage from stress. Hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides lock in moisture. Calming botanicals like aloe and chamomile soothe irritated skin.
