Maskne...it's a thing.
If you're serious about protecting yourself — and others — from the very real dangers of Covid 19, you’re wearing a mask when you go out around others. For many people, that is leading to an embarrassing and unpleasant side effect: blemishes, pimples and zits — or what dermatologists call acne.
Breakouts that occur after wearing a mask have become so common, that social media has dubbed mask acne “maskne.”
HERE’S WHAT TO DO:
Wash your mask - Masks need to be washed and dried properly after every use. If you’re wearing one while working out, switch to a fresh mask when you’re finished.
Embrace double cleansing - This method of cleaning first with an oil-based cleanser and then following it with a water based cleanser will reach deep into your pores and make sure there is no residue!
Try a face mask - the other kind… We cannot say enough good things about the Clarifying Mask by CLN&DRTY. This formula deeply detoxifies, pulls impurities and kills acne causing bacteria. It gently exfoliates and gives you a beautiful, natural glow. Who doesn’t want that?
Use a mineral sunscreen - One of the main causes of clogged pores is chemical sunscreens. Plus, their harsh ingredients often irritate skin. Mineral sunscreens soothe skin and won’t clog your pores.
