People may recognize the respiratory symptoms but not everyone is aware that it may affect your skin too, says Dr. Tess Mauricio, a board-certified dermatologist.

Dr. Mauricio, suggests wearing a mask outside, using sunglasses to shield your eyes and skin, and getting an air purifier for your home to clean the air. Also, remember to wash your sheets often to keep allergens away. She further added that if you're planning on getting any skin treatments, be careful because they can make your skin more sensitive to allergens.
