~ Helping our Skin Behind the Mask ~

We might be smiling under our masks when we're offering a helping hand, but our skin might be frowning when the mask comes off. 

As a whole, all of us are making a healthy difference in large and small ways! We're wearing our masks, wearing gloves when necessary, practicing physical distancing, staying safe, and we're staying home. We can do this! We'll be around the corner soon. 

For those in the health care industry, after the day is done, the shift is over, and the mask comes off, there can be a physical change in the surface of the skin. Anything from acne flare-ups, a Rosacea outbreak, a spot of eczema, or even bruising.  

We're thinking about all of you who are wearing your masks every day, ALL day. Thank you for being there, thank you for risking your own health, and your family's health, and thank you for caring like you do!!! 👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️🏥😷

Whether we're at home, or in a hospital or clinic, all of us globally are feeling the changes and stress of the current pandemic. It will come to an end, and in the meantime, let's not fight it. Let's adjust and become more focused to stay fit, creative, positive, healthy, and then stronger because of it. 👊 

The Images Say It out Loud  

Men and women in the medical field are speaking out and sharing their skin irritation and sensitivities on social media. 

Skin is very reactive to stress on the inside, as well as constant pressure and rubbing on the outside. Just like a blister on a heel, or chafing from a running bra or clothes, when the skin is constantly being rubbed in the same spot, it can become bruised, sensitive, scraped, and uncomfortable. It's temporary, but it can be painful and make us feel self-conscious.

These are images from a recent article. Here is the link via Yahoo news about this timely side effect that medical professionals and others are feeling and seeing.

We're Offering a Special Savings During this Time

In this crazy season that we're in, we wanted to offer you extra savings. We're an indie brand, and we love that we can share our treatments directly to you. This helps keeps our prices down, our products fresher, and everyone happier. 😊

For the rest of April, we're reducing our prices and are sharing a 15% off site-wide sale.  Any U.S. shipping charges are picked up by us, and a free sample with each purchase is something extra for you ~ just because. 

While we share with you, we're also sharing something extra for our team. For every purchase that you make during this special, an extra 10% of the proceeds from this special will go directly back to our Qēt team. 

We're a small, but mighty, (!) independent company. And... we want to make sure that when this season passes, our Skin Studios can continue to remain open, our online store continues to flourish, and our Qēt family remains together. 

Together. People helping people.
