Has your skin been breaking out due to wearing a face mask? Maskne is the new acne, which is caused by wearing a face mask. Here are a few ways to stop face mask skin problems.
We don’t know how long we will have to wear face masks and I feel like I’m forever washing my masks! Here are my tips to help combat face mask skin issues:
- Don’t share your masks with anyone, even your family members.
- Disposable masks should be disposed of after every single use, otherwise you are just spreading the dirt, oils, and bacteria back onto your face.
- A mask made from natural fabrics is better for the skin. Avoid wearing masks made from synthetic fibres.
- Reusable cloth masks should be washed every single day.
- Wash your cloth masks in a delicates bag in hot water with a mild detergent because harsh detergents may irritate your skin.
- If you are a person who wears makeup daily, it might be a good idea to stop for a while. Under the mask makeup is more likely to block your pores which could lead to breakouts.
- Cleanse and moisturise your face twice a day with a mild cleanser and if you can, use fragrance free lotions and creams.
- Avoid harsh skin products and scrubs even if your skin feels clogged up and pat your face dry with a clean towel so the rubbing doesn’t cause irritation.
- Wearing moisturiser adds a layer of protection between your skin and the mask and can help with the chaffing.
- If people already have pre-existing skin conditions, they should visit their doctor or skin specialist so they can help prescribe the correct cleanser and lotions/cream for their skin concern.
- If you can, book in for a gentle facial so refresh your skin.
- Take your mask off every now and then if you can to get some fresh air – make sure your standing at least 1.5 metres away from people!
