Not all superheroes wear capes! But in this case, they all wear masks. 😷
Whether you’re an essential worker put on the mask for hours and hours (thank you!) or masking-up before a trip to the grocery store, you’re helping to protect your community and your health by wearing a face mask.
But when the mask comes off, you may have observed some new facial adversaries: blemishes, skin irritation, peeling, or redness around your jawline, cheeks, and mouth.
Those irritations in fact have become so common that mask acne has now been dubbed maskne.
What is Maskne?
Maskne is acne breakouts along the jaw, cheeks, and mouth caused by wearing a face mask.
Typically, acne occurs when pores become clogged by sweat, oil, moisture, or dirt. These elements trap bacteria beneath the skin’s barrier, creating a pimple.
The difference between acne and maskne is one thing: a face mask.
No matter what type of mask you wear, maskne probably will be a consistent problem in the future. If left untreated it will become worse.
How to differentiate between Maskne and hormonal Acne?
〰️ Maskne bumps are typically on the surface and not deep within the skin. Also, you’ll notice that the location of the bumps are typically in line with the areas of contact that the face mask is usually in contact with: the upper lip, the nose, the smile lines, and the chin areas, in particular.
How to prevent Maskne at home?
Step 1:
⦿ Wash your face with a gentle cleanser atleast twice a day. 💦
