HOW TO PREVENT MASKNE!
With this week's announcement on having to wear masks in shops as well as public transport, a wearing mask is something we will all have to get used to. This will be our ‘new normal’ way of life.
There are many ways wearing a mask can play havoc on your skin. We’ve had so many NHS workers contact us asking for help with irritation, dryness or acne?
So what is vital for your skin whilst wailing a mask daily?
MAKEUP ROUTINE
Wearing a mask or face cover means you might need to reapply lower face makeup more often, which can trap dirt and oil throughout the day. We recommend investing in a high grade mineral makeup such as our Jane Iredale to avoid congestion of pores which can lead to excess oil, blackheads and breakouts.
SKIN CARE
Double cleansing will be more important than ever, helping to enhance your skin and give it a healthy glow and well as reliving congestion, blackheads irritation the mask will cause. Check out our huge Dermalogica cleansing selection to suit every skin type.
Dermalogica Precleanse paired with Dermalogica soap free cleansers will remove excess oil if present, gently exfoliate dead skin cells and debris, whilst leaving the skin barrier intact and not interfering with the water levels. The result? Leaving you with optimally clean, hydrated and glowing skin.
HYDRATION
Using quality hydrating products suitable for your skin type will be important to protect the skin barrier from the physical irritation from the mask. If skin is feeling irritated try Dermalogica barrier repair- this velvety moisturiser helps fortify sensitised skin with a damaged barrier
LOOKING AFTER YOUR MASK
Even if you are only wearing a mask for a short period of time – remember it will trap dirt, oil and makeup.
The best option are disposable masks, which can be changed frequently. This will minimise the irritation risk to your skin and prevent blemishes. This however can be expensive so if your wearing a fabric mask make sure they are washed daily as they will trap dead skin cells, oil, dirt and makeup. Think of this as your second pair of pants! Hopefully you’re not wearing them 2 days in a row ðŸ˜
Using a clean face covering, along with a consistent skin care routine will prevent breakouts and other more serious problems such as skin rashes or acne.
If the breakouts appear, If you do all of the above and the breakouts still appear then take a look at our amazing ANP supplement Skin Accumax. Skin Accumax is a scientifically advanced, nutritional supplement which works from within for clear, flawless skin naturally. Skin Accumax is a patented skincare supplement for those who suffer from problematic skin.
Hope to see you all soon
