How To Prevent Skin Problems When Using Face Mask?

Hi everyone, I want to give advice on the use of masks. The mask entered our lives due to the Coronavirus epidemic. This situation has increased the frequency of some skin problems. At the beginning of the skin problem, acne formation is seen in the places where the mask touches. The oil and hairs on the face become clogged due to the friction of the mask thus causing acne formation. Summer is coming, increasing air temperature and humidity will also increase this problem. Problems such as moistening and sweating occur on the face and the skin can not breathe.

What Should We Do To Avoid This Problem?

• The mask should be worn one hour after applying moisturizer to the face.

• It is recommended not to make up on the area covered by the mask.

• In the open air, the face can be ventilated without putting yourself and other people at risk.

• Cotton masks can allow our skin to breathe and are healthy in this way. But the mask should be washed and keep clean every day.

• When you get home, wash your face with a cleanser suitable for your skin.

• Peeling once a week can keep the pores open on your skin. Thus, acne formation can be prevented.

• Try not to go out during hot hours.

• If you have allergic: If you put a cotton fabric under the mask, you will cut off the contact of the mask with the skin and eliminate the risk of allergies.
