**Special greeting to the @gems community.** The global pandemic has forced us to take extreme hygiene and protection measures to avoid contagion as much as possible. The most recommended are: ***1 disinfectant gel when we don't have soap and water nearby.*** ***2 masks in areas where the recommended distance of two meters cannot be maintained.***

There is no doubt that health care is very important, although continued use of these solutions can take a toll on your skin. # Why?
Disinfectant gels have 70% alcohol, so they dry your hands a lot. Even masks can generate conditions that are not ideal for the skin, causing the area they protect to also show unwanted reactions. # How to care for the skin of the body and face after the use of gels and masks?
  Let's see some ways to do it: Handwashing is a common hygiene practice, although its frequency has increased since the appearance of COVID-19. The same has happened with the use of hydroalcoholic gel when there is no soap and water nearby, the demand for which has even led to the fact that in some supermarkets it runs out every day a few minutes after opening its doors. Here in Venezuela they raised them to exorbitant prices. However, although it is essential to exceed our hygiene guidelines, the composition of these gels can dry out a lot, so it is important to know how to hydrate dry skin.

## Guidelines for caring for the skin after applying the disinfectant gel:
- The first step in caring for your skin is to make sure you are using authorized antiseptics. - To reduce the effect produced by the continued use of disinfectant gel, after washing your hands apply a moisturizer. - If you notice that the degree of dryness you have is quite deep, apply a slightly thicker layer of cream, as if it were a mask, and cover with a cotton glove so that they hydrate better. - It is best to exfoliate the skin, to remove dead cells and to oxygenate. You can use a specific product or a mixture of salt and olive oil. This is very effective. Your skin is much smoother and cared for.

When choosing both the gel and the moisturizers you use, choose the ones that have the least chemical compounds because they can affect you, and precisely one of the most effective ways of caring for your skin is prevention. - Finally, drink plenty of water. Just as the skin needs to be properly nourished, it also needs to be properly hydrated to stay clean and healthy. # How to hydrate the face after using masks?
Continued use of masks can also cause problems for your skin, by creating unsuitable conditions for it. Some people suffer from dermatitis, dryness, eczema, and even rosacea. To prevent these and other problems, after using hygienic masks you need to give your skin a break. Clean the entire face well with cold water, because the hot water dries out, and apply a little tonic, giving a gentle massage so that it is well absorbed. Also, just as important is cleaning and disinfecting reusable masks with detergent and bleach. Once cleansed and toned, it is time to know how to hydrate the dry face and alleviate the effects of using the mask. To do this, the skin's natural moisture must be restored with a specific cream depending on its type.

Emphasize especially the area of ​​the cheekbones, the upper part of the nose and the chin. And don't neglect the back of the neck and ears, because the rubbers can rub and hurt. ***Knowing how to take care of the skin and reduce the effects caused by the measures against contagion is essential so that you do not have problems in the medium and long term. Using good quality moisturizers, in addition to drinking water often, will help prevent disinfectant gels and masks from taking a toll on your skin.*** Today I set out to do this research and then tackle this important topic. After reading the news of the increase of COVID-19 in Venezuela to 1370 cases, I see that I need to be more careful with the prolonged use of gel and mask. See you later, take good care of yourselves!
