Tips to Prevent Maskne will be addressed at that time.
• Be mindful of the type of mask you wear.
Try to wear a face mask that fits snugly,
but is not too tight; has two or more
layers of fabric; and is made of natural,
soft fabric (like cotton). Avoid masks
made of synthetic fabrics, such as nylon
or rayon which can irritate the skin.
• Wash reusable masks after each use to
remove any makeup or bacteria that can
build up and lead to breakouts.
• After wearing a mask, wash your face
with a gentle skin cleanser. This is
especially important after sweating while
wearing a mask.
• Avoid touching your face.
• Since mild symptoms of maskne are very
similar to that of a diaper rash, use a
barrier cream between you and your mask.
Having maskne can be frustrating, but it
is easier to deal with maskne than the
coronavirus. Just follow the necessary
precautions and take the proper steps to
minimize symptoms and prevent more
severe breakouts. Spring is Coming! by Jim Kingsbury
