Maskne is the New Acne: Here's How to Treat It

With masks now a staple in our daily lives, many are experiencing skin breakouts, commonly known as "maskne." Here are some tips to help you avoid and treat these pesky breakouts:

1. Choose the Right Mask

Opt for a mask made of 100% cotton, as it allows your skin to breathe more easily. Ensure your mask fits properly to avoid chafing and irritation.

2. Keep It Clean

Treat your mask like your underwear—wash it frequently to prevent bacteria build-up that can lead to breakouts.

3. Simplify Your Skincare Routine

Simplify your daytime skincare routine, as wearing a mask can intensify product delivery to your skin. Be cautious with products containing active ingredients like retinols or acids.

4. Tone Down Your Makeup

Consider reducing your makeup, especially if you tend to sweat under your mask. This can help prevent clogged pores and breakouts.

5. Cleanse and Moisturise

At the end of the day, cleanse and moisturise your face thoroughly to remove impurities and keep your skin hydrated.

6. Treat Maskne with Care

If you do experience maskne, try applying Folli Oil Emergency Fix on the affected spots. This targeted 2-step treatment works on both spots and ingrown hairs.
