The Most Intensive Thing You Can (and Should) Do to Your Skin During Quarantine

In the continual pursuit of silver linings, I don’t think I’m the only one with questions for any estheticians listening: What’s the best way to take advantage of this time at home when it comes to skincare?

Luckily for me, Sofie Pavitt, an esthetician who runs her own skincare studio in Chinatown and is known for the Krispy Kreme-caliber results following her esthemax jelly masks (available to order online at the moment!), has answers. Pavitt graciously walked me through the steps of the more involved at-home skin treatment we can do with a little extra alone time at home. My moisture barrier feels more lush already.

I think the best thing about being stuck at home is the fact that we can spend a little more time on ourselves. This might mean doing some beauty treatments that would be at the back of your list in normal times.

The week before we closed the studio, I had an inkling that we were nearing the need to close. I had some of my regular clients come in for a deep peel so they could spend some time at home flaking—but a professional deep peel is not something people should be buying off the internet to do at home. But I do think that we can take the time to do some more intensive treatments.
