Unfortunately, prolonged use of masks has been causing skin irritation, sensitivity, redness and acne in some of our clients. We’ve also seen some people with rosacea who have noticed flare ups. While wearing masks will be in our lives for a while longer, we have some tips to help with mask-face: 😷 Wear a clean mask every time; if you’re using reusable masks, make sure they’re clean and laundered 😷 Skip your actives: if you’re going to be wearing a mask for hours on end, skip your daily actives, like vitamin c or retinol, which can cause additional sensitivity 😷 Apply a thin layer of serum and moisturizer to keep your face hydrated 😷 Schedule your services: schedule facial services the day you can go home and relax without a mask. 😷 Take breaks: if you can, take breaks and allow your face to breathe If you need advice or help to select the right products or treatments to help mask-face, contact us.
