It is now part of our daily life: The Mask, and one thing is for certain, it is not going away anytime soon. For many of us who are wearing a mask for long periods of time, we are noticing a change in our skin on the lower part of our face. For some of us it is all around our mouth and chin and for others it is just the chin area. It may be simple irritation, redness or pimples or more serious acne breakouts. Your mask may definitely be the culprit.
There is officially a new term for this: MASKNE: Mask + Acne
Unfortunately it is real and not just a marketing term. We have put together some suggestions on how to help avoid this problem as well as products to help you treat Maskne if you have it.
How to avoid Maskne?
1) First of all, make sure you always wear a clean mask and ideally made from natural materials.
2) Make sure you wash your face well in the morning before putting on your mask and at night before going to bed.
3) Adapt your routine by integrating products, cleansers, lotions, masks, which will be able to unclog the pores.
4) Keep an S.O.S product for pimples close at hand for spot treatments to help treat breakouts as soon as possible!
5) Schedule regular appointments with your aesthetician. They will be able to deeply cleanse the skin to minimize the possible appearance of pimples while giving you the best advice possible to deal with this new reality.
6) We all need to wear a mask to keep ourselves and others safe, but let your skin breath as much as possible.
Say goodbye to mask induced breakouts from stressed and congested skin by adding these products to your routine.
