'Maskne' just got real! And here's how to stop it
When wearing face masks is no longer an option, how do we stop and avoid getting that dreaded 'maskne'? We have curated a list of useful tips to answer some of those questions for you.
Wear a pure silk face mask: Yes we know - silk masks can be pricey, but they are worth the investment. Our customers have been raving on about our best-selling black mulberry silk face mask that's breathable and has stopped skin acne altogether! A total winner in our eyes. As we know silk is naturally hypoallergenic, lightweight and comfortable to wear. Just check out the amazing reviews on our website if you are still in doubt whether to treat your face to silk.
Keep your mask clean at all times: If you’re wearing a reusable fabric face mask, make sure you wash it at least every couple of wears. Remember that a dirty face mask is a breeding ground for acne!
Level up your face cleansing routine: Ensure you wash and cleanse your face twice a day, morning and evening. Look for a salicylic acid based face wash, which can go deep into the pores to purge them of breakout-causing oils, dirt and dead cells. We also recommend a weekly clay mask to which is great for clearing out the pores of all debris and preventing maskne.
Opt for an oil-free moisturiser: It’s tempting to skip the moisturiser to cut down on greasiness. However, this will only make your skin overcompensate by producing even more oils, which will take you down the acne route much faster. Instead, look for oil-free versions.
Wear less make-up: Luckily for us, most of us are stuck at home without the need for layers of foundation. When makeup gets trapped in a hot and humid micro-climate (like the one under your mask!) it’s a fast road to clogged pores and consequent breakouts. Absolutely cannot skip the make-up? Use oil-free and non-comedogenic ranges and always remove at the end of the day.
