Dr. Simon Ourian, the go-to cosmetic dermatologist for the entire Kardashian family as well as French Montana, Jen Atkin, Lisa Vanderpump, Lady Gaga, Jenna Dewan and many more famous faces, has temporarily closed his Epione practice in Beverly Hills and ceased home visits during the coronavirus pandemic, but recently shared his at-home skincare tips with Page Six Style.

While Dr. Ourian’s patients can still communicate with him using telemedicine, the doctor recommends four products for everyone: a good cleanser, a lot of “moisturizing hydration,” an eye cream or serum and a mild fruit acid peel once a month; his own MDO Skin Transforming Kit ($189) contains three of those.

“Doing gentle skin routines not only has an aesthetic affect for your skin but also is meditative and a good distraction for this time,” he told Page Six Style, stressing that “maintaining a healthy dose of meditation, relaxation and positive vibes only” during stressful and anxious days is paramount to health from the inside out.

And while it may be nice to pamper yourself with at-home treatments, Dr. Ourian cautions against obsessively scrubbing, especially with abrasive products. “Be very gentle with your skin,” he said, adding that moisturizing before slipping on a pair of cotton gloves at night is great for healing dry or cracked hands.

A humidifier is another essential tool — not only for your lungs, but also for your complexion. “Most air conditioners and heaters are very drying,” Dr. Ourian said. “Therefore it is essential that you have a humidifier next to your bed and also in the rest of the house during this time.”

And don’t forget to squeeze in an at-home workout while you’re at it. “Any type of cardio exercise brings a higher amount of oxygenated blood to your skin,” the doctor explained.

“Your skin needs this oxygen and extra nourishment to build itself and get a new production of collagen and elastin, which is the key to more balanced, healthy-looking skin.”
