Try to wear a face mask that fits snugly, but is not too tight; has two or more layers of fabric; and is made of natural, soft fabric (like cotton). Avoid masks made of synthetic fabrics, such as nylon or rayon which can irritate the skin. • Wash reusable masks after each use to remove any makeup or bacteria that can build up and lead to breakouts. • After wearing a mask, wash your face with a gentle skin cleanser. This is especially important after sweating while wearing a mask. • Avoid touching your face. • Since mild symptoms of maskne are very similar to that of a diaper rash, use a barrier cream between you and your mask. Having maskne can be frustrating, but it is easier to deal with maskne than the coronavirus. Just follow the necessary precautions and take the proper steps to minimize symptoms and prevent more severe breakouts.
