It’s not just the added anxiety of coronavirus that might be making your break-out a little more than usual right now. If you have been diligently wearing a face mask whenever you are commuting or travelling and you have noticed a few extra pimples in those specific areas (around nose, cheecks and skin) you may be experiencing what dermatologists are calling “maskne”.
Wearing a protective face mask can result in “maskne” – breakouts, blemishes, bumps, or just plain irritated skin. consider to adopt the most basic skin care routine including a gentle non-soap cleanser.

Last but not least, trying to avoid products with acids and keep in mind fewer ingredients is better for a smooth and glowy skin.
