Practicing social distancing? Don’t let your skin care regimen take a back seat

One dermatologist shares her tips for keeping up with your skin care routine.

When you aren’t going into the office or leaving the comfort of your home, you might be neglecting your regular beauty routine.

Board-certified dermatologist and founder of Marmur Medical, Ellen Marmur, joined Shop TODAY on Instagram to share exactly why you should be keeping up with a comprehensive skin care regimen — even while relaxing in your living room.

"Not only is it important to practice for your personal hygiene, but taking care of your skin and hair helps you to stay put-together and motivated throughout the day," explained Marmur.

She shares her favorite sunscreens, shaving essentials, scrubs and more to help us find the best skin care products on the market.

Yon-Ka Gel Exfoliating Sugar Scrub

"I don’t recommend exfoliating very often on the face because it can be abrasive and can irritate the skin," said Marmur. But she does recommend exfoliating other parts of your body with a gentle scrub.

"Yon-Ka body scrub is wonderful, especially for the forgotten zones of dead skin like the curvy areas behind the ankle (Achilles area), knees, and elbows."
