How To Treat & Prevent Mask Acne | MASKNE

[@valeriexoxo]

She’s not saying what’s in those expensive products that she’s recommending at the end. Since they’re not Rx I reckon a drugstore product could easily replace. My suggestions if you’re interested: 1. Salicylic acid (prevents clogged pores) 2. Benzoyl peroxide (for acne bacteria) 3. Retinol or tretinoin (for cell turnover) 4. Light moisturizer when masked. 5. Every few days use a simple clay mask and good moisturizer at night. 6. Choose the cone shaped masks that don’t sit on your skin. The cotton cloth masks don’t work anyway. Change the surgical masks frequently.

Point 6 is great tip! Mine was so much worse until I switched to the cone-shape masks ✅ Thanks for sharing Valerie

Sarah - what foundation & shade do you use? We have similar skin tones and your foundation looks wonderful!

[@DrSarahTonks]

Hmmmm it’s Charlotte Tilbury and the shade is 3- it’s the one that’s light to medium coverage- I can’t remember the name!

My 17 year old is forced to wear a mask in school, so I’ve been treating his maskne with a little retinol cream at night. It works well but I’m still mad at this child abuse by authorities 😡

Dont let her wear it. This is a forced agenda

I got a yeast overgrowth from wearing masks. It was terrible and I had to diagnose myself. Doctors just kept saying I had contact dermatitis. I began taking oregano oil and another yeast cleanse that contained caprylic acid. It worked right away.

As, soon as they lift the covid restrictions I'm ditching the mask

Was it really bad for your skin Michelle? I'll do a poll on the community tab and see what people think ❤️

Top tip- if you had two jabs stop wearing a mask 🤣 job done

[@DrSarahTonks]

😆 The skin underneath would certainly agree!

[@michelles2299]

Unless you get asked constantly why you are not wearing a mask!!!!

[@DrSarahTonks]

Tbh I like wearing mine
