Who Needs Sunscreen When You’re Inside Anyway?
It is hard to imagine any natural event that could have changed the world for so many people so quickly and so completely than the current pandemic. Ironically the only other possibility of something that could affect such change over the entire surface of the world is man-made and in truth, that doesn’t bear thinking about.
There are few areas of life where anything is the same, and no one is unaffected. Even if you live under a rock, you will have noticed the other rocks have moved about six-feet away.
In the beauty industry, there is little they can do other than take a break. From the top down it is hard to argue that it is essential, bit moreover many of the industries which use the beauty industry are taking a break too. There’s little choice other than enjoying the downtime.

This unprecedented time in our lives is like none before. We have the opportunity to reassess all those truths we have bought into since we were children. We have been told this is the way things happen. This is what you need to do. Well actually, we have found out it isn’t true. We are all able to deal with a lot less and many of the rules we thought were unbreakable don’t matter all that much anymore.
Although, there’s one thing that hasn’t changed: Don’t let anyone take your moisturizer away. Moisturize, moisturize, and still moisturize. But you can choose when you do it now.
