That is, until last night. I came across an article \u2013 no different than any of the articles I\u2019d been reading for weeks beforehand \u2013 and for some reason, it hit me differently this time.\n\nI suddenly felt so overwhelmed! I legit thought I was about to lose my marbles.\n\nSince it was already getting late, I decided to go upstairs, do my skincare routine, and then head to bed. Amazingly, as I worked my way through each product and enacted my typical nighttime routine, I found that I was actually starting to feel a bit <em>better<\/em>. By the time I\u2019d applied my face serum, I\u2019d calmed down entirely.\n\nWas it out of the ordinary that doing something as simple as my skincare routine could boost my mood in such a big way? After looking into it, it turns out that I\u2019m not alone in this!

The fact that makeup sales aren\u2019t booming right now isn\u2019t that big of a shocker. After all, with so many people staying at home, a lot of us have put our personal makeup routines on the back burner.\n\nBut it <em>is <\/em>interesting to see how well the skincare market is thriving, despite being in the middle of a pandemic!\n\nTo put this into perspective: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npdgroup.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NPD Group<\/a> released statistics recently that showed how by the final week of February, skincare products had seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/coronavirus-quarantine-self-isolation-boosts-skincare-2020-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an increase in dollar and in-store sales<\/a> by 13%! Makeup and other beauty products, on the other hand, only grew by 4%.\n\nIt didn\u2019t lose its momentum in March, either! Amazon alone saw an additional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1107556\/impact-of-coronavirus-on-sales-values-of-beauty-products-on-amazon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">8% sales increase<\/a> in their skincare inventory last month, whereas color cosmetics actually <em>dropped <\/em>by 1%.\n\nThe facts are in: the importance of skincare is especially popular right now! But what\u2019s the reasoning behind this? Why, with everything currently going on in the world, are so many of us seeking solace in this practice?\n\nHere are a few of our hypotheses\u2026[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Our_Skincare_Routine_Gives_Us_Control\"><\/span>1.

Many are going into \u2018fight-or-flight\u2019 mode. While some are refusing to take this crisis seriously, others are just as guilty of taking it a bit too far.\n\nSometimes, it can feel as though there\u2019s very little that\u2019s still in our control. Our skincare routine, however, allows us to regain that sense of power back.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;41025&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]While it may sound a little silly, it makes total sense!

While you can\u2019t control everything, you can always control this. By extension, working through your skincare routine can help ground you and bring back perspective. It can help remind you that there <em>are <\/em>in fact many aspects of your life that you still do have full control over.\n\nThat despite the bumps in the road, there are still things that can bring you peace.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_It_Provides_a_Sense_of_Normalcy\"><\/span>2.

While it can be said for certain that some day, life will go back to normal, we still don\u2019t really know when that\u2019ll be yet.\n\nPersonally speaking, I can sometimes be a Monica Geller. I like being in-the-know. I\u2019m a creature of habit. Because of this, I <em>don\u2019t <\/em>like when things are disorderly or uncertain.\n\nWhen I do my skincare routine, it brings me back to a more familiar place.
