Wearing a mask can be harmful to your skin, but today we have 7 Ways To Prevent Face Mask Skin Problems.
We all have to wear masks, in most states, provinces and countries,right?
They can be hard on our skin, causing problems that range from acne, peeling skin, rashes and itchiness.
To help prevent more skin problems from developing under your mask, we have these 9 tips that may help you!
In addition to that, CBD for your face and skin has some promising scientific studies that may help protect and provide nourishment to your skin so you don’t repeatedily get “maskne”!
This study and report concluded that not only is CBD great for skin irritations, but may help in localized pain and issues due to inflammation.
Do you suffer from dry skin like me, or atopic dermatitis? According to the National Centre for Biotechnology Information, CBD may help in treating such skin issues and challenges too!
The proof is literally in the proverbial pudding.
Another study revealed that the CBD found in cannabis is a more potent antioxidant than vitamin C or E.
Cleansing your face daily might seem like something small and trivial, but if you wear make up, and are wearing a mask frequently – the two just don’t go together well. It’s like a bad relationship waiting for a toxic break up.. or in this case? Breakout.
Using a gentle, mild and fragrance-free cleasner that nourishes your skin is ideal.
Applying moisturizer morning and evening adds a protective layer that can reduce dryness – a common and annoying side effect of masks.
You want to apply high-quality skin cream and moisturizer like this one, immediately after washing your face.
If you have maskne, patting your skin dry after a healthy cleanse is less irritating for your skin.
Once you think about, you’ll realize that while it might be a give-in, dry skin AND chapped lips are common face mask skin issues.
Using a natural, fragrance-free lip balm regularly, and before putting on your mask helps moisturize dry lips, and keeps them that way!
If you’re not opposed to Vaseline or petroleum jelly, this is a game changer!
Using a weekly DIY CBD lip scrub is also a key element in gently scrubbing off dry skin.
Wearing a mask for even a short time can make your skin more sensitive.
To reduce skin problems, avoid using hard products such as chemical peels, super harsh exfololiants or retinoids for the first time.
Instead, continue to use fragrance-free, or CBD products to soothe and heal angry skin and breakouts!
If you notice that no matter what you try, you’re still breaking out – it’s time to cut back on any of the products you have in your routine such as:
Instead, good old water, and a safe moisturizer like CBD Cream can help re-balance all of the irritation.
While it makes sense when you read it, you may be using the wrong kind of mask!
You’ll need to make sure of the following, and double check that you are washing your masks on a very regular basis:
A snug, comfy fit that doesn’t rub on your face is the ticket. If you continually have to adjust your mask, it’s going to show up as an irritant on your face.
Avoid synthetic fabrics like nylon and poly-blends, because they can cause problems too – no matter how cute the mask!
If you can find a safe space or place at work, take a little mask break.
The best place is outdoors, 6 feet away from people or inside your car when you’re alone!
Even a quick pinch from the nose piece, to allow fresh air to come in, as you breathe normally can help you.
