<\/p>\n

But we\u2019re also dealing with one pretty pesky side effect we didn\u2019t expect, but doesn’t seem to be going away – maskne. That is, breakouts caused by the built-up of bacteria and moisture and general friction of constantly having a piece of material on our faces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re sharing 10 tactics that can help reduce and improve mask-based acne.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.Wash reusable masks often<\/b><\/h4>\n

If you are the reusable mask user, invest in 7-10 masks you can use all week, the goal is to get your reusable mask to a one-use-and-wash routine – but at the very least use a fresh mask every day. Keep an extra mask on hand always in case yours gets damp or dirty during long uses. We love <\/span>Snug As A Bug Mask Storage Bag Set<\/span><\/a> for keeping our masks organized.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Never reuse disposable masks<\/b><\/h4>\n

If you prefer disposable masks – throw each one away after every use, despite the temptation to use it again after a \u201cquick wear\u201d. Be particularly strict about this if you notice make-up or residue from your previous wear, as acne-causing bacteria is likely waiting to be transferred back to your face.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Don\u2019t keep you mask at your chin when not in use<\/b><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s become common practice when running between stores, doing drop offs with friends or heading on and off public transit to simply pull your mask down near your neck when not needed, although this is super convenient, this creates friction and added bacteria on your decolletage area, which can lead to frustrating breakouts.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Add acne-fighting ingredients into your daily skincare routine<\/b><\/h4>\n

Routine and consistency is an important part of a skincare routine, by establishing a morning and nightly routine that incorporates acne-fighting powerhouses, your skin can come to depend on ingredients that will help kill the buildup of bacteria that occurs from mask wearing. We love <\/span>The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%<\/span><\/a> because a few drops can be easily added to your current moisturizer, and it doesn\u2019t break the bank. Plus, it <\/span>now comes in a powder<\/span><\/a> format for a more concentrated application.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Spot treat where needed<\/b><\/h4>\n

For pesky and stubborn breakdowns, spot treat overnight (or during the day if possible) to kill bacteria and begin the healing process. Make sure to apply a bit of extra moisturizer to those zones in the days following, as spot treatments can be a bit drying. Two of our favourite spot treatments are <\/span>Meet Blume Meltdown Oil for Acne-Prone Skin<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Origins Super Spot Remover Acne Treatment Gel<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

6. Ditch the makeup when you can<\/b><\/h4>\n

Even if applying make-up is part of your self care routine or helps you get ready to tackle the day, be strategic when you know you\u2019ll be wearing a mask. Concentrate makeup on your eye area (think brows, liner and mascara), and ditch the concealer and foundation (yes, even if you\u2019re mid breakout). This will give your pores a fighting chance at breathing, especially if you\u2019re wearing a mask for hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Remove mask every few hours when possible<\/b><\/h4>\n

If you are wearing your mask for a whole workday, try removing and replacing your mask every few hours whenever possible. Make sure you find an area where you can stay six-feet apart and give your face a few minutes breathing time before suiting back up again.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Up your intake of acne-fighting foods<\/b><\/h4>\n

We\u2019re big believers in healing from the inside, and while diet can\u2019t fix every case of maskne, it can certainly give your skin a leg-up. Avoid foods that cause your blood sugar to spike, like white pastas and bread, processed sugar, saturated and trans fats and dairy. Instead, focus skin-supporting foods, luckily these are varied and delicious! We\u2019re talking whole, unprocessed foods, colourful vegetables like spinach, carrots, sweet potato and oily and fat rich foods like nuts and seeds, avocados and salmon. Don\u2019t forget to stay hydrated, as it helps flush out toxins and keep skin healthy and plump.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Support your skin with Supplements<\/b><\/h4>\n

You can also give your skin a boost from the inside with supplements! We love how many different forms there are, including gummy, which are easy and delicious to take everyday, and powder, so you can quickly add them to your favourite daily liquids. Our faves are <\/span>Organika Enhanced Collagen Protein Powder Relax<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>SUKU Vitamins Radiant Complexion Rich Raspberry<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Consult a professional if the severity increases<\/b><\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re giving it the college try and can\u2019t figure out why your skin is reacting so poorly to mask, consider consulting a dermatologist. A virtual consultation can help to get quick tips from a professional about your unique skin and how to support your skin\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maskne can be very frustrating – just another one of the many changes in our lives recently that we\u2019ve had to get used to, but don\u2019t love the idea of. But, of course, the benefits and necessity of wearing a mask far outweigh the inconveniences our poor skin is experiencing. And in the meantime, we\u2019ll continue to hope for a mask-free existence in the future!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
