I don’t know about you, but since wearing a mask whilst out in public and being back in the salon wearing a mask, my skin has taken a turn for the worse. Just when i’d got it the best it’s been using my Katherine Daniels routine!!
Mask-ne… also known as acne mechanica, a “man made” skin condition- not acne in the true sense.
Wearing a face mask/covering creates an occlusive environment, the air underneath is humid and warm creating an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, fungus and virus as well as the mask causing friction on the skin which could make the skin red & inflamed. If you are susceptible to herpes simplex (cold sores) you may find you are also more prone to these whilst wearing masks/face coverings.
