Corona has caused all kinds of changes in our daily lives. Whereas we used to take a brief look in the mirror before going to work, today we are constantly confronted with ourselves. Meetings have taken on a new dimension; instead of an actual meeting, people are now meeting virtually. These so-called “Zoom” or “Teams” meetings allow you to see yourself continuously on your screen. Looking at yourself so much makes you more aware of that one wrinkle, the light in your living room doesn’t seem to be cooperating either, and your puffiness seems to be getting worse by the day.
Video calling
By Corona, you already don’t have to hoist yourself into your fancy suit in the morning. Pajama pants with a neat top appear to be the dress code during video calling. That in itself is quite comfortable, but the daily confrontation with your reflection on a screen can lead to insecurity in people. As soon as the camera on your laptop turns on, you are faced with yourself again. This can make one feel insecure.
Tips for being radiant behind your screen
Often the light, quality and position of your camera can make a big difference.
- Viewing angle. The angle of the camera can make a lot of difference, put your laptop on an elevation and see how that looks. Do connect an external keyboard and mouse to your laptop, otherwise you will soon suffer from other complaints such as RSI.
- Light. Light can also play a big role. Try playing a different position and with lights.
- Camera resolution. The resolution of your camera may also play a role. A lower resultite is not always better to look fresh. You may want to consider purchasing a better webcam.
- Touch up. You can turn on the “Touch up my appearance” option in some video apps such as Zoom, this allows you to make your wrinkles disappear all at once. Keep in mind that other participants might notice.
Botox treatment against wrinkles
Over the years, lines may have developed in your face due to mimicry, think of frown lines, crow’s feet or forehead lines. Treatment with botox temporarily prevents you from tightening the muscle, which is causing the wrinkle, or reduces it. A simple botox treatment can make you feel good in your skin again, this in turn makes you feel radiant at your computer.
Fillers treatment
In addition to botox, you can undergo treatment with fillers at a cosmetic clinic. Bags under the eyes look even more noticeable in pictures. Treating your puffiness with fillers will instantly give you a rested and fresher look. If you want to have multiple areas of your face treated then a Liquid facelift is an option. This is the alternative to a surgical facelift. A skin enhancement product like Prohilo is a very nice subtle way to improve your skin.
