THE SECRET TO AVOIDING MASKNE!
We are all doing our part to help stop the spread of COVID-19, but in doing so our skin is suffering, the Maskne is real! Dermatologists across the world are seeing an increase in Maskne and other skin conditions.
So what is Maskne?
We don’t define Maskne as just Acne caused by friction, moisture, dirt and bacteria when wearing a facemask. Maskne is any skin condition caused by wearing a mask – Rosacea, Dermatitis and Folliculitis just to name a few. In addition to new conditions, facemasks can aggravate and intensify already existing skin conditions.
You are not alone in the fight against Maskne 💪🏼
Here are our top tips to help avoid Maskne:
SKIP THE MAKEUP
You are beautiful without it.. and we can’t see it anyways! Avoid foundations and concealers, they can clog your pores and cause further irritation on your skin. Instead, try wearing tinted moisturizers, fluff your brows and put on your favourite mascara – your skin will love you for it.

WASH YOUR MASK
If you are wearing a fabric mask, wash it DAILY. Not only will this ensure you are killing the spread of COVID-19, but you are also removing skin cells, dirt, bacteria and oils that are left on the mask, which can lead to Maskne.
Wash your mask correctly 👇🏼
Use unscented, gentle washing detergent.
Ensure the water is Hot!
Let it dry completely.
If you are wearing disposable masks, ensure you are replacing them daily!
AVOID TOUCHING
Keep your hands away from your face ✋🏼 Constant touching can transfer dirt, bacteria and oils to your skin, as well as cause irritation from your masking rubbing on the skin. If you do need to touch your face, wash and sanitise your hands first.
CLEANSE YOUR FACE TWICE A DAY
Use gentle cleansers to wash your face morning and night, and after you sweat. This will help remove dirt, bacteria, oils and sweat from your skin, which cause Maskne.

LET YOUR SKIN BREATH
Give your skin a 15-minute break every 4 hours when possible, healthcare workers have found this method is a reliable way of reducing the risk of maskne.
STAY HYDRATED
Avoid the dry skin and chapped lips caused by Maskne. Keep your skin hydrated by using a light moisturizer throughout the day and a rich moisturizer at night. Hydrate your lips with a nourishing lip treatment throughout the day.
