We've all been stuck indoors for quite some time now owing to the deadly coronavirus pandemic. And while we've been managing everything else, the one thing we can't seem to deal with properly is our skin. You might have noticed that you've ended up with even more skin issues while you were indoors as compared to when you used to step out every day. The reason for this is that there are still a lot of factors that can damage our skin even though we're indoors. So, if you're confused about what's going wrong, here's how staying indoors is damaging your skin.

That's right, you don't even need to step out for the sun to be able to damage your skin. While the rays aren't as strong indoors, trust us the rays are still there because they seep in through your windows and can harm your skin. So, make sure to slather on some sunscreen even when you're indoors and it'll protect you against sun damage.

Well, it is the summer season so we're sure you've been switching on your AC as much as possible. But did you know that the air from your AC could actually dry out your skin? It basically tampers with the moisture in your skin and leaves you with irritated and flaky skin.

Blue light is basically the light that is emitted from electronic devices such as your laptops and mobiles. And now that you're indoors, exposure to this light has increased significantly. Blue light damage has been associated with hyperpigmentation, premature ageing and in worst cases even cancer.

Most of you might have thought that since you're indoors you don't have to pay as much attention to your skin. Well, that's where you messed up. Your skin is used to a certain kind of skincare regime so unless you continue with that and take proper care of your skin, you're going to end up with some form of skin damage.
