Buy The Right Type of Mask
Large enough to cover the face and offers the right type of fabric which is breathable, soft, and non-irritating, natural fabrics such as cotton or washable silk as these types of fabric will reduce the friction of the mask on your face which prevents irritation from rubbing, reducing the chance of the dreaded ‘maskne’.
Only Wear The Mask When You Need To
Ensure that you are removing your mask as much as possible to allow your skin to breathe and to make sure your mask doesn’t become too sweaty.
Keep Your Mask Clean
Keeping your mask clean is imperative for ensuring that you are keeping your skin clean and free from any harmful bacteria, it’s super important to ensure that you remove your mask when you aren’t wearing it to allow the skin to breathe and get some air into the mask.
Buy a Couple
Buy a couple that will allow you to rotate the mask so that you are wearing a clean mask, each day whilst the other is in the wash.
Ditch The Heavy Makeup
Ditch the makeup if you can. It’s not like anyone can see the bottom of your face when it’s masked up anyway, so there is no need to introduce dirt and grim to your skin in the form of foundation and bronzer.
Try Double Cleansing
Try double cleansing before bed to remove any unwanted bacteria from all areas of the face.
Keep Your Mask in a Safe Place
Once you take off your mask, make sure to put it in a safe place away from anywhere it could gather bacteria. Perhaps in a material pouch or drawstring bag for safety.
Apply Facemasks More Often
Perhaps a few times a week, these will draw out impurities and bacteria which has surfaced onto your skin from wearing the mask.
