WHAT IS MASKNE?

Maskne is a skin concern that is caused by the constant friction of a face-covering on your skin. Maskne commonly occurs in people wearing face-coverings for a long period of time. 
 

Along with the constant friction on your skin, maskne is also triggered by pores being blocked by sweat, oil, makeup, and bacteria which sits on the skin under your face-covering. This can cause outbreaks of spots, blemishes, inflamed hair follicles, irritation and redness.

WEAR A CLEAN FACE-COVERING

Whether you’re wearing a disposable or reusable face-covering, it’s important to replace or wash it after every use. This will help to avoid a build-up of bacteria coming into contact with your skin and prevent breakouts.

THOROUGHLY CLEANSE

Clear and healthy skin free from blemishes starts with a daily skincare routine that cleanses and cares. Free your skin from day-to-day dirt, grime and pollution by cleansing twice a day, followed by a light moisturiser to comfort and nourish.

KEEP SKIN HYDRATED

Did you know? Keeping hydrated from the inside out is essential for healthy skin and helps prevent spots too. Keep your skin hydrated by moisturising every morning and evening and look out for a light moisturiser that’s enriched with vitamins to keep your skin nourished and healthy.

STAR INGREDIENT

Salicylic acid is well-known to exfoliate the skin and keep pores clear. When your pores get clogged with dead skin cells and oil, blackheads and whiteheads appear. Salicylic acid penetrates the skin and works to dissolve the dead skin cells that clog the pores.

HOW TO TACKLE MASKNE WITH CONSULTANT DERMATOLOGIST, DR JUSTINE KLUK

"I would recommend a simple skincare regimen that reduces irritation and helps to boost skin barrier function. I would use a gentle cream or gel cleanser twice per day and wipe off with a soft wet flannel or microfibre pads, Garnier Eco Pads are a great option. I like Garnier Pure Active Sensitive Anti-Blemish Soap-Free Gel Wash. 
 
For red and inflamed spots, a targeted treatment with salicylic acid or niacinamide is great to use after cleansing and before moisturising. Garnier Pure Active SOS anti-blemish stick contains both of these spot-fighting ingredients. My top tip is to avoid picking or squeezing spots as this can introduce infection and cause scars."

YOUR NEW CLEANSING ROUTINE

Dr Justine Kluk’s Double Cleansing Tips and Tricks

Tip 1

To make sure you are cleansing your skin properly after wearing a face-covering all day, remove grease, dirt, face and eye makeup first with a micellar water, such as Garnier Cornflower Micellar which is delicate enough for skin and eyes.

Dr Justine Kluk’s Double Cleansing Tips and Tricks

Tip 2

After using a Micellar Water, secondly use a gentle cleanser, such as Garnier Organic Lemongrass Detox Gel Wash, to ensure that your face is clean before proceeding with the rest of your routine.

Tip 3

Finally, use Garnier Charcoal Sheet Mask with Black Tea extract to add moisture to the skin, but also tackle blemishes at the same time – use once or twice a week in addition to your usual skincare routine.
