Now we’ve got the products on lockdown – pun intended – here are a few FAQ’s with helpful answers to give you even more information of Maskne and other things you can do to help look after your skin in this new lifestyle moving forwards!
Should I still wear makeup?You don’t need to worry! Wearing makeup is fine as long as you aren’t working with too many base layers. One thing that almost isn’t worth it, however, is lip gloss. Masks + lip gloss definitely weren’t meant to be. Makeup stains may limit the ability to reuse your mask so it’s just worth noting that regular washing of them may be in order too.
Do certain fabrics cause maskne?Lightweight fabrics are definitely better for your skin but of course they don’t offer the same level of protection as others. While lighter fabrics are cooler and usually easier to breathe in, tight weave fabrics with several layers are the best protection.
How do I treat maskne?Using cleansers daily are great for helping to keep your skin clean and calm. If you already suffer from acne-prone skin lookout for the ingredient, salicylic acid. Rogue but allegedly effective, dandruff shampoos have been found to help calm the skin and remove excess yeast build-up especially around the nose and mouth thanks to the ingredients ketoconazole or selenium sulfide.
