Got Maskne? Taking Care of Your Skin During a Pandemic

We are living in a different world right now. Worldwide, we are having to wear face masks almost everywhere we go. This can definitely affect our facial skin. Having to apply hand sanitizer and wash our hands multiple times throughout the day can affect the skin on our hands.

Maskne is a new trending word we are hearing right now. What is Maskne? Acne caused by wearing a facial mask. There are ways to prevent, avoid, and treat Maskne. 

Avoid Maskne by changing out your mask often. You should never wear your mask more than one day. If you are wearing a mask in hot temperatures or while working out, you should switch to a new one after. If you have a skin treatment done, you should leave wearing a fresh mask. Good news, most spas are offering patients and clients a clean mask post treatment. 

Treating Maskne can take time and patience. First, you should wash your face every morning and every night. Switch out your pillowcases once a week; two to three times a week for more severe acne. Wash your makeup brushes, especially if you are wearing makeup under your mask. You should wash makeup brushes once a week.
