Maskne

[BePrecious]

Hello, 

Full-time dental assistant so due to Covid we are obligated to wear a N95 as well as a surgical mask at all times. It has but hard on my skin and wanted to see if anybody has solved this issue with any skin regimnes! Help a girl out !

I used to have to wear a face mask/respirator a lot for my old job, so here are some things I'd recommend to help with the fallout of that, @BePrecious.

For before:

Consider adding more layer of hydration and protection, including a HA serum, moisturizer and face oil. You might also want to consider a salve as well. Let it all absorb before putting on your mask.

Throughout the day:

Consider the DR. JART+ - Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Calming Mist or Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist 2.53 oz/ 75 mL

For after:

Calming masks: Origins Original Skin™ Retexturizing Mask with Rose Clay 2.5 oz/ 75 mL, FIRST AID BEAUTY - FAB Pharma Arnica Relief & Rescue Mask, REN CLEAN SKINCARE - Evercalm™ Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask

Spot treatment: Maybe try the Sunday Riley UFO or whichever is your fave. There's a lot of options.

Skin repair: Anything with ceramides, like the DR. JART+ - Ceramidin™ Cream

Redness reduction: something with blue tansy, CBD or Cica would help. I like a bit of the Herbivore Lapis Blue Tansy Face Oil - For Oily & Acne-Prone Skin 1.7 oz/ 50 mL which comes in a trial set with a mask or the DR. JART+ - Cicapair™ Tiger Grass Calming Gel Cream or anything from their Cica line.

Good luck!

@haleyvvvv Where can you find the Cica line? I've heard lots of great things about it!

Oh, I meant anything in the Dr. Jart+ Cica products. But anything with CICA (centella asiatica) should be anti-redness and skin-soothing @LilaMJ

Thank you @haleyvvvv ! 🙂
