While wearing a mask is extremely important and unavoidable, there comes side-effects along with “Maskne” that is mask acne. Here are seven effective ways to fight mask acne –

1.) Cleanse your face first–dirt and oil that is secreted by the skin gets trapped under the mask and causes breakouts. Therefore, always put a mask over a clean face.

2.) Use a light moisturizer: avoid using a heavy moisturizer that clogs your skin. Choose one that is fragrance free, oil free, and has protective ingredients like ceramide and hyaluronic acid.

3.) Avoid using make up: The residue from the make-up can soil your mask fabric. Trapped make-up can lead to clogged pores and breakouts.

4.) Avoid reusing a mask: Wear only a clean mask as the dirt and oil from your skin and the bacteria from your mouth and nose will end up on your clogged mask.

5.) Spot treatment: Focused spot treatment like salicylic acid,zinc,2,5% benzoyl peroxide can help zap acne and have a clear skin.

6.) Avoid oil: Avoid oil-based products as they can make your skin unbreathable causing heavy sweating.

7.) Wash your hands: Do not touch your face unnecessarily. Make sure you have washed your hands with soap.

Having the right skin-care routine will lessen mask related skin irritations and mask acne. If you don’t see a difference in your skin after implementing the skincare tips above, consult your dermatologist preferably virtually. Stay Safe!
