One of them is a new type of acne “maskne” (mask + acne). How to avoid it and how to take care of the skin, often wearing protective face masks, advises professional cosmetologist, lecturer Rasa Neverauskaitė.
The most important thing is constant care and facial hygiene

Masks with fruit acids are also suitable for oily skin. Oily skin is prone to rashes, so it is important to pay attention to acne care – on clean and exfoliated facial skin is recommended to apply medications and serums.
No step without irrigation
Unlike oily skin, dry facial skin needs a slightly different care. One of the main rules of dry skin care is moisturizing and regular facial skin care.
In the cold season, spending a lot of time indoors, the skin does not get enough oxygen, and masks further impede the breathing of the facial skin. “Dry skin can be taken care of and maintained in a better condition – it is recommended to choose the softest possible tissue masks, and it would be even better to use medical masks and change them as often as possible,” says the cosmetologist about taking care of dry skin.
This skin type requires constant hydration, so it is recommended to pamper the skin with serums and moisturizing face masks as often as possible, giving the face a feeling of healthy and radiant skin.
