While wearing a protective mask rod suggested 😑 it can also irritate, trap bacteria and lead to breakouts (hello, maskne!) We turned to our International Trainers for their top tips on controlling this type of problem skin - starting this week with Hector Raphael from Massachusetts. The first step is skin preparation: "Detergents that are left behind from washing one’s face and not rinsing properly can then be hidden under a mask all day." Not cleansing properly also means that cosmetics💄 are left on the skin and "poor quality makeup can be comedogenic". Another maskne nono? Reusing disposable masks which help bacteria thrive in warm moist environments. If your skin is still feeling like it needs some extra care, Hector recommends incorporating the following products: 1️⃣ Rice Milk 3 in 1 Cleanser: Pro tip: Hector recommends adding this waterless cleanser to damp cotton rounds, and storing them in an empty, recycled 2oz Eminence Organics jar or a zip lock baggie to cleanse the skin under the mask later in the day. 2️⃣ Clear Skin Willow Bark Exfoliating Peel Mixology recommendation: Add the Rice Milk 3 in 1 Cleanser to the pads of this gentle active exfoliator. 3️⃣ Acne Advanced Clarifying Masque: Here's an alternative use for this mask: as a primer under makeup! This product can act as a protective barrier for the skin. 4️⃣ Acne Advanced Clarifying Hydrator: Layer this hydrator over the Acne Advanced Clarifying Masque, to keep skin hydrated. 5️⃣ Facial Recovery Oil: This is another great option for protecting your skin: "Apply one drop over the Acne Advanced Clarifying Masque to lock in moisture and seal the barrier between the skin and mask". Our recommendation: Add the Acne Advanced Cleansing Foam to your daily routine to complement the use of our other Acne Advanced products!✨ Is maskne a new skin concern of yours?
