Most of us are actually worried about our personal grooming, with salons being shut down. And why should we not? With the mess that our hair has turned into, or the de-shaped eyebrows, or full-grown body hair, the only saving grace is that we do not have to step out. It is not that we are not beautiful in our natural state, but it is also true that stress and panic happen to affect our skin and hair.
