How To Keep Our Faces Maskne-Free - air Defender airMask USA Company

Is your face irritated from wearing a mask? Are you showing signs of chafing with pimple-like bumps? You might be suffering from skin irritation caused by prolonged wearing of a face mask.

The technology has dramatically caught up with the latest innovation. The awareness of wearing a mask every time we go out has become an integral part of our daily activities. However, wearing a face mask for longer periods, not to mention the chill winter season caused tremendous stress on our face leading to acne breakouts and dryness, often called maskne.

Maskne or "mask acne" is the effect of skin irritated, clogged pores, and bacteria on our faces due to prolonged wearing of face masks. The build-up of sebum, the oily and waxy substance that protects and hydrates the skin, can lead to oily skin. Too much secretion and the irritation caused by the face mask could lead to maskne.

Different Causes Of Maskne

Irritated Skin - Maskne can be caused by different skin conditions. The redness and itchiness on your face brought by rosacea and contact dermatitis can ignite the formation of maskne.

Humidity - Being exposed to outdoor activities can lead to breathing and sweating which traps moisture on the face mask. This makes an ideal breeding ground for bacteria to thrive and clog pores.

Friction - Ordinary face masks are mostly made from materials that can irritate the skin. Look for a comfortable face mask made of 100% cotton. Cottons are superior in sweat, odor, and no friction that might cause irritation compared to other fabric masks.

Chemicals - Some people experience flare-ups because they have sensitive skin. The allergy can be due to make-up ingredients, moisturizers, or over-the-counter skincare products that don't suit the type of skin.

How To Treat Maskne Problem

Wearing of face mask is not just a protocol but it keeps us away from possible transmission. It's still important to cover our face and mouth using a sanitizing mist spray for an extra layer of invisible protection.

Regular Washing Of Face - The most effective habit we can do is washing our face regularly in the morning and before going to bed. This provides freshness and relieves our skin from the harsh elements we got from the entire day of work.

Use Non-Comedogenic Make-up Or Skincare Product - It's important that we are aware of the ingredients that we put on our faces. Avoid using products with ingredients that we are sensitive to and caused an allergic reaction.

Use An Antibacterial Face and Body Spray - The complete protection against germs. The application of sanitizing mist not only works to remove bacteria but unlike ordinary hand-sanitizers, the 24 hr antibacterial spray is an effective protectant of the upper respiratory that also hydrates and deodorizes the skin.

Wash Face Mask As Often As Possible - It's important to keep our face mask clean not just by spraying face and body protection spray but also by keeping it laundry-cleaned.

Wear Comfortable And Adjustable Face Mask - Choosing a face mask like airMask is the most essential all-day wear facial cover because it doesn't just prevent transmission but it's also comfortable with adjustable ear loops and nose wire to free the face from discomfort, facial marks, and redness caused by tight masks. It lets you breathe freely without the obstruction of a mask.

Maskne can be prevented by taking extra precautions and knowing what's the right skincare product, regimen, and material that is appropriate to our skin type. The use of antibacterial face and body spray is proven to reduce germ contact and prevent transmission by up to 95% bacteria reduction rate, which protects up to 24 hours. Ideally spray after a shower, before going out of the house, and even on top of make-up and other skincare products.

Keeping ourselves protected from germs and harmful radicals can greatly decrease the occurrence of maskne. Unlike ordinary hand-sanitizers, the use of protection spray refreshes and protects our face, hands, and body. It kills the germs on our faces before it can irritate our skin. It deodorizes body smell and even effective to reduce body odor perfect for the whole family. Now those are qualities we can only find in airDefender products.
