Now that more businesses have opened their doors, many of us have fallen victim to breakouts on the bottom half of our face (aka mask acne, mascne, or maskne). I, for one, remember feeling very helpless when I first realized that I had developed pesky bumps all over my face.
Reduced air circulation, increased humidity and dirt trapped within - these are pretty much a recipe for disaster. But fret not, because we�??ve got a few tricks up our sleeves!
Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise
Does your skin appear red after removing your mask? If so, you�??ve experienced chafing. A mask that doesn�??t fit well winds up brushing against your skin, resulting in irritated skin and eventually, acne. To avoid this, always apply a moisturiser and wait till it�??s completely absorbed into your skin before putting your mask on.
Moisturisers create a protective barrier to reduce the amount of friction between your skin and the mask. This means less agitation - which is what we�??re after. That said, don�??t go overboard with the moisturiser as you may end up with clogged pores.
For those with dry skin, the Glowing Apricot Cleanser from St. Ives could be your knight in shining armour. Formulated with 100% natural apricot extract, this daily cleanser will leave you with glowy, moisturised and clean skin.
