It’s been about a year since mask-wearing became mandatory. But if you have yet to find the cure to your masnce (mask acne), or if you’ve been on the hunt for ways to improve your skin condition, we’ve gathered a few tips for you.
Stay till the end to find out how to achieve better skin and more!
Wear sunscreen every day
True or False: Sunscreen is not needed when it’s cloudy or rainy.
If you answered “True”, your dermatologist wants to speak with you.
As the Skin Cancer Foundation states, up to 80 percent of the sun’s UV radiation reaches the earth on cloudy days. This means that you could get sun damage even though it’s cloudy! Whether you’re indoors or outdoors, UV rays can still reach you by passing through leaves and reflecting off water, glass, sand, and concrete. This is why applying sunscreen is important.
Sunscreen is essential in locking in your skincare. It should be applied 30 minutes before you head out and reapplied every 2 hours. But relying solely on SPF products is insufficient. Experts, therefore, recommend taking other precautions such as wearing hats, using makeup with SPF, and getting yourself an umbrella with UV protection.
P.S. you still have to wear sunscreen under your mask when you're out and about!
Apply face masks
Face masks are a great way to nourish your skin with high concentrations of ingredients, as backed by dermatologists. If you want glowy skin like your favourite K-Pop idols, start masking today. Many Koreans (including Twice’s Momo and Red Velvet’s Joy) apply masks daily.
Sheet masks typically improve your skin on the surface but if you’re in search of ways to rejuvenate your skin thoroughly, M2gic’s SoChio LED Mask and Sheet Mask is for you. Unlike regular sheet masks, those from M2gic are thin and lightweight, adhering securely to your face.
Similarly, their LED Mask is lightweight, scientifically approved, and safe for use. It comes with three different light settings – red (firm and lift), blue (anti-acne), and yellow (lighten), to target different skin concerns.

Bonus tip: In case you’re wondering, the right way to apply products is to start from those with a thinner consistency (e.g. serums) and slowly work your way to heavier products (e.g. night creams and sleeping masks).
Remove foundation thoroughly
Regular foundation users are probably tired of this but hear me out. While foundation gives you flawless coverage, it can clog your pores due to the buildup of residual makeup, sebum, and dead skin accumulated throughout the day. That is if you don’t remove it properly.
To play it safe from the get-go, switch out your foundation for something more lightweight (e.g. tinted moisturiser or BB/CC cream). Not sure what to use for a start? Mediphyt is looking for brand ambassadors to try out their Multi-Protection Day Cream, City Shield for free.
City Shield is a colour-correcting cream with SPF 41 PA+++ that protects your skin from UV, HEV radiation (from electronic devices), and pollutants. Best of all, it is suitable for all skin types and conceals without clogging your pores. Try it for yourself at no cost by downloading the Partipost app and joining our ongoing campaign.

Double-cleansing with micellar water, cleansing oil, or a trusty cleansing balm is always a good plan. Oil-based cleansers help melt down stubborn makeup so that water-based cleansers can reach deeper into your pores to remove dirt in the next step.
Avoid using expired beauty products
This last tip is a no-brainer. Yet, many are adamant about finishing every drop of it because the date of expiry is “not too long ago”, “it’s not cheap” and product wastage is not in their dictionary. Find out how to tell if your products have expired, and how to prolong their shelf life here.
A survey conducted in 2015 found that more than 80% of respondents are aware of makeup expiration dates and have issues with old makeup. But they still keep it, citing reasons like feeling guilty about wasting money, and the possibility of needing it in the future.
Consistent use of old makeup could lead to infections. If you can’t bring yourself to bid farewell to your expired items, you can always search for ways to repurpose them. For those who are keen on checking the manufacture date of cosmetics and perfume, there’s a Cosmetic Calculator online.
