Updated: Sep 15, 2020

We’ve previously shared the best face masks on the market. Since masks are the new normal, we’ve rounded up some tips to help prevent ‘Maskne’ and some great products that help when you find yourself breaking out.

Tips:


-If you know you’re going to be wearing your mask for more than a short period of time, avoid wearing make-up


-Wash your mask regularly. Sweat and oil can build up, which could clog your pores.


-Another factor of ‘maskne’ could be the fabric of your mask, try different fabrics, such as cotton


-Moisturize your face before putting on a mask
