3 Products to Combat Maskne

Let’s face it, mask wearing is our reality for a while. As a men’s groomer I might wear my mask for over 10 hours while on set and around clients. Skin gets sweaty, hot and irritated. I have found the surgical masks to be more breathable and light but the fabric can leave my skin chafed and broken out around my mouth and chin.

I personally love the evolvetogether masks. They are as comfortable as it gets. They are 3 ply, have an adjustable nose bridge for a secure, customized fit and breathable. Comfortable ear loops and a convenient ‘on the go’ mask keeper, plus they look chic. I love the look of the matte black (almost looks like waxed denim) but for long days on set the white masks are the most comfortable.

As soon as I take off my mask I clean my skin immediately with a Lauren Napier Beauty nourishing FLAUNT facial cleansing wipe. I love that they are individually wrapped so I can throw them into my bag or purse. I even use them throughout the day as a skin treatment to refresh my skin. It’s a small but huge treat for my skin and well being.

Next I use a ColbertMD Intensify Facial Disc all over my chin, mouth area and around my nose in a circular motion for 30 seconds. They assist the skin’s natural repair process by removing dead cells and providing a fresh new luminosity. So basically you are exfoliating your skin and eliminating environmental toxins.

After all that, sometimes I still get these little bumps and breakouts on my chin and above my lip so I dab a small amount of Eve Lom Dynaspot. Naturally soothing extracts and salicylic acid help to eliminate bacteria without drying out the skin. It can be used under makeup as well, just make sure to brush off the excess after it dries.
