Face care routine to beat ‘maskne’

It is not only us adjusting to the important act of wearing a mask during the current global health crisis, but also our skin. However, wearing cloth face masks for elongated periods is impacting the skin on our faces. Many of us are experiencing "maskne", acne resulting from wearing a face mask. This is because friction from wearing a mask can lead to dryness and irritation, but also the masks are likely to trap humidity, sweat, and oil on the skin, leading to breakouts and acne.

What can I do about my ‘maskne’?

Of course, it is important to wash your cloth masks regularly after use. However, it is equally important to pay attention to your skincare routine when suffering from ‘maskne’. Experimenting with strong skincare products may lead to further skin irritation, so making the correct choice is essential. Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Face range includes products that are gentle, light-weight, and suitable for all skin types.
