How Work From Home Is Ruining Your Skin? Expert Shares Fixes You Can Try At Home

The shift to a hybrid mode of working has brought undeniable comfort and convenience, but it’s also introduced a new set of challenges, especially for your skin. With more time spent indoors, reduced exposure to natural light and increased screen time, many are seeing unexpected changes in their skin's appearance. From persistent breakouts and dryness to dullness and pigmentation, the effects of this new lifestyle are showing up on our faces more than we may realise.

Prolonged exposure to blue light from digital devices, irregular routines and indoor air pollution can disrupt the skin’s natural balance, leading to what’s now being called ‘digital ageing.’ The good news? You don’t need to overhaul your entire routine or visit a clinic to repair the damage. With just a few mindful changes and the right skincare approach, you can restore your skin’s glow right from the comfort of your home. In conversation with The Daily Jagra, Ms. Lalita Arya, CEO of DermalogyCare, shares fixes that can help your skin while working from home.

Simple Steps, Visible Results

Start with hydration, both internal and external. Drink enough water throughout the day and use a hydrating cleanser followed by a lightweight moisturiser. Keep a facial mist at your desk and reapply SPF (yes, even indoors) to shield against blue light.
