While donning a mask is the right thing to do to slow the spread of COVID-19, it isn’t necessarily a good thing for the skin, especially for those who must remain masked up for hours on end. Because I rarely venture out of my apartment these days, I’ve been fortunate in that my time wearing a mask is somewhat limited. However, I have found that by keeping my skin free from makeup and skincare products when I am wearing one definitely helps me to avoid any related skin issues, as does making sure the mask I wear is properly washed. Aside from these simple steps you can take to prevent maskne, there are also a host of products that can help you and your clients prevent and treat it.
