What is it, what are the main causes and how to take the best care of your skin 💝
Due to the pandemic, the term MASKNE entered the common vocabulary.
But do we really know what it is? Let’s find out together!
WHAT IS IT:
The word maskne comes from the combination of the terms "Mask + Acne". It manifests with the appearance of redness, pimples and black spots, irritations, up to even real rashes, in the area of the face covered by the mask.a.
CAUSES:
The main cause of this problem is therefore the prolonged use of the protective surgical mask. The latter in fact can trigger the skin reaction in several ways:
- Limiting the transpiration and oxygenation of the skin;
- Occluding the pores;
- Promoting the proliferation of bacteria, blocking the recycling of air and thus creating a "warm-humid" climate within it;
- Rubbing against the face skin
REMEDIES:
Despite these problems caused by the mask, however, you can not disregard its use. So how to relieve the maskne symptoms?
- Use a mild detergent
Proper cleansing of the face is essential, both before and after wearing the protective device.
- Gently exfoliate the face
To avoid further irritation of the face skin, it is recommended to perform a light scrub on the skin every 7-10 days.
- Preferring soothing and repairing products
It is important to dedicate a delicate skincare to the skin that keeps the skin hydrated, protected and soothed.
