MASKNE STILL A PROBLEM? HERE’S HOW WE CAN HELP

Tips On How to Prevent Maskne

Use a cleanser that removes 

  • excess oils, sebum,

Masks are something that we have become familiar with. Over the past year and a half, we have been wearing masks as protection between ourselves and covid 19.

Because of this prolonged use of masks, we have noticed a surge of acne around and on the areas the masks cover. Why does this happen? When we wear masks, we breathe in and out and speak through it although hard to understand sometimes.

In most cases, maskne is the result of clogged pores. You already have oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells on your skin. But when you wear a mask, these substances can build up more and block your pores and so a maskne solution was create.

  • The mask traps warm air and the bacteria from our mouths onto our faces.
  • Along with friction and sweat from the mask rubbing against our faces from speaking and adjusting.
  • If we wear masks for hours, the perfect breeding ground for acne is created.

Acne happens when your pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and dirt. It can cause pimples, whiteheads, or blackheads.
Irritation can also cause Rosacea, Contact Dermatitis and Eczema to flare up.
