Skincare with a mask: how to take care of your skin
Due to the use of masks, more and more people are complaining about the appearance of imperfections and pimples on their faces. The mask alters the entire ecosystem of the skin: it is therefore necessary to follow a specific skincare routine for this period.
Do you feel like you see yourself full of pimples and spots on your face? Don't worry, you're not eating too much chocolate.
The use of masks has been central in the fight against Covid19, but now, after more than a year of the pandemic, some annoying side effects are starting to manifest.
First of all, the appearance of pimples, blackheads, and other imperfections on the face.
The worsening of acne can also lead to itching and redness in the most affected areas hidden by the mask: chin, cheeks, lips, and nose.
Fortunately, this is a problem that can be easily solved with a few small adjustments and especially with the introduction of a proper skincare routine.
"Why do many imperfections appear on the face with the mask?"
The mask accumulates the moisture generated by the nose and mouth when we breathe and speak through it: the damp fabric, being in direct contact with the skin, causes pore blockage, leading to a considerable buildup of sebum and preventing the cells from breathing.
This causes the formation of blackheads, pimples, and other impurities and imperfections on our face: in addition to all this, there is also the presence of germs and pollution, which worsen skin health and cause redness on the skin.
The perfect mask skincare
'Maskne is not an irreversible problem': "It is indeed possible to prevent it thanks to some simple measures that we can adopt independently."
Before wearing the mask it is "it is good to perform a normal skincare using" some basic products such as toner, cleanser, and moisturizer.
As for specific skincare products (for example, acne products), they can be applied in the evening, before going to bed.
In fact, most anti-cosmetics-imperfections dry out impurities on the face by exfoliating the skin and reducing sebum production.
Using the mask simply tends to cause imperfections to accumulate on the fabric itself rather than eliminate them, leading to redness and worsening acne.
The products must also always be gentle: soothing dermatological cosmetics and repairing i against imperfections and antioxidant and moisturizing products against irritations.
Furthermore, the importance of a good mask or scrub should not be underestimated: 'Through a deep cleansing, all impurities are expelled from our skin, significantly improving its well-being.'
Finally, there are additional measures to take in the fight against acne that will improve skin health, such as allowing yourself some sun on your face when there are no other people nearby (in compliance with the rules against the spread of Covid) and, above all, trying to sleep at least 8 hours per night.
Make-up can also contribute to the onset of mask-related acne: it is therefore advisable to minimize the use of concealers, primers, and foundations as they cause pore blockage, further preventing the skin from breathing.
Furthermore, it is recommended to replace lipstick with a neutral lip balm, as the lips are in contact with the mask and need to be continuously hydrated.
The Concilium products, thanks to their moisturizing and protective ingredients, can be a valid aid against maskne. Try it yourself!
