Face masks help prevent the spread of coronavirus. Now that they have become incorporated into our daily lives, it is important that we keep our skin clean and healthy. Although the bottom half of our face is covered, we should maintain our skincare regimen over the entire face and neck.
Masks made from natural fibers (i.e. cotton, bamboo, or natural silk) are best to wear, whereas those that are synthetic are treated with chemicals. Masks should be laundered or disposed of after every use.
Masks are causing itchy skin (contact dermatitis), breakouts, and clogged pores or blackheads, especially around the chin, jaw, cheeks, and mouth area. Irritation and inflammation are caused by friction to the outer layer of the skin.
Masks also trap humidity, sweat, and oil, creating an environment that encourages microorganisms to flourish, exasperating conditions such as acne and rosacea.
Be sure to cleanse your face 2x a day and follow with the appropriate toner, serums, moisturizer, and SPF for daytime. Apply the products all over the face and neck. They will work to keep your skin healthy, especially at bedtime when you are not wearing a mask and are out of the outdoor elements.
Visiting Kiki Skin & Body Spa for a facial, clinical treatment, acne treatment, or even face waxing will bring your skin back to where it was pre-pandemic.
