Masks, whether surgical or made of cloth, have become an essential part of our daily lives and their continued use is already starting to be felt on the skin. Despite their effects, which can be very different depending on the kind of skin we have, it is everyone responsibility to use them correctly.

No matter if your skin is dry, normal, mixed or oily, with an acneic tendency, it is very likely that you have got pimples or blackheads when using the mask. This is due to the fact that the pores do not breathe properly and become blocked, thus causing them to appear.

Find out how to care for this problem and how to manage it with natural ingredients.

What happens to our skin when we use a mask?

The use of masks for many hours in a row causes a micro-environment in the area with an increase in humidity and heat, as well as continuous friction on the cheekbones, the nasal septum and the chin. As a result of that, irritation, but also dryness and desquamation, and even acne breakouts on the chin or nose.

Healthcare professionals are most often affected in this situation, so in addition to irritation and altered skin condition in these areas, visible marks may also appear when the mask is taken off the face.

Furthermore, if your skin is sensitive, these effects are even more accentuated. In this article we tell you about the specific care and oils for this kind of skin.
