/As masks have become a permanent fixture on our faces, it’s brought new challenges for both our skincare and our makeup routine. Many are dealing with the dreaded 'maskne' and another major issue is the transfer of makeup to the mask. So here are a few ideas to try... I have tested pretty much every combo of products over that last 9 months and I feel confident I’ve found the best. [video here]
When it comes to Maskne be aware there are a few different issues that could be the culprit. Redness, dryness and general irritation can be helped with a hydroccortizone cream, while small white bumps (not pop-ible) can actually be fungus that needs to be treated with an anti-fungal cream. But if you’re dealing with actual acne under the areas of the mask, here are the two products I’ve seen the most results with:
To treat and prevent Maskne
daytime prep before makeup: Peace Out Acne Serum
nighttime cleanup: StriVectin Daily Reveal Pads
For Makeup the stays put under a mask:
