Do you find yourself getting more breakouts lately? Well the culprit may be—your mask combined with stress. If there is one common skincare complaint I receive from dealing with this pandemic, it has to be “maskne.” For those of you who don’t know, “maskne” is another phrase for mask acne. The requirement for everyone is to wear a mask to prevent Covid transmission to others and to protect ourselves of course. However, wearing masks for long hours can cause congestion and breakouts to form.

We are living in hard times. Never in a million years did I think we would have to deal with a global lockdown. It has definitely been an adjustment for us all to say the least. I am sure we will be in a better position a year from now. However, if there is one thing I learned from ths pandemic, it is to never take anything for granted again. I have never been more thankful for my blessings and never take anything for granted.

How to treat “maskne”
1. Wash your face twice a day
Wearing a mask all day can reduce oxygen flow and create a breeding ground of bacteria. Make sure you are washing your face twice a day. Glymed Plus his ultra-gentle cleanser instantly dissolves makeup, oil and debris on the skin. This product not only provides a deep clean but it contains vitamin E to help tackle environmental toxins and irritants. It also can brighten dark spots.
For dry, sensitive, and acniec skin, try Glymed Plus Mega-Purifying Cleanser.
For combination/oily skin grades 1-2 acne that is non-inflamed (whiteheads/blackheards) try Glymed Plus Exfoliant Cleanser
For sensitive/acne-prone skin types try IsCLinical Cleansing Complex
2. Apply a clean, breathable mask
If you wear a cloth mask, wash it between each use. There are various types of masks out there, but make sure you choose a fabric that is breathable like 100% cotton. Freethink states (Freethink.com) “Fabrics with tighter weaves and thicker threads have been shown to block respiratory droplets more effectively than those with looser weaves and thinner threads. Masks with two layers of fabric are more effective than those with just one layer, and those with three layers are better than two.” If you are wearing a disposable mask, make sure you apply a new one each time.”
3. Use an alcohol-free toner or benzoyl peroxide acne treatment
4. Avoid wearing makeup
Makeup (foundation) has a tendency to clog pores, increasing the likelihood for this to happen with a mask on during the day. Excess oil mixed with makeup and dead skin cells can be a breeding ground for bacteria. It is important to double cleanse your face.
My favorite cleanser of all time is Glymed’s ultra-gentle Mega-Purifying cleanser. It instantly dissolves makeup, oil and debris on the skin. This product not only provides a deep clean but it contains the age-defying antioxidant vitamin E to combat dryness, environmental, and harmful irritants.

5. Apply a soothing moisturizer to prevent irritation/redness
Your skin will feel drier than normal, so add hydration with soothing ingredients like aloe, cucumber and glycerin. Applying moisturizer will help protect yours skin’s barrier while hydrating it. GlyMed Plus Facial Hydrator is ideal because it is not only lightweight, but deeply hydrating cream. It helps repair environmentally stressed skin while fighting against acne causing bacteria.
For oily, combination, acne-prone or sensitive skin shop La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo Moisturizer.
For oily/aging/roscaea/normal skin try Glymed’s Oxygen Treatment Cream.
6. Stay consistent with your skincare regimen.
