What is Maskne?
We are not sure if you have heard about it before!
Have you got breakouts around your chin and jawline from wearing a mask? You’re not alone! This is a condition, known as “maskne” (mask acne), which has become a common side effect of using a mask. If you’re concerned about maskne, read on. We are definitely going to give you a solution for this & also tell you how to get rid of acne.
How does Maskne occur?
Breathing or talking can lead your mask to trap in a lot of hot air. Besides being annoying, this air creates a warm, humid environment — and an ideal setting for harmful bacterias to grow. This is when fine pimples and acne appear around the nose, mouth, chin, and jawline resulting in acne scars & acne marks.
Is there a way to prevent and treat Maskne?
There’s always a way out!
We have got you some pimple zapping potions and some top tips on how to get rid of acne
and prevent them.
1 .Antibacterial is the buzz-word
Go for products that are antibacterial and can help you cleanse out not just oil & lamp dirt but also microbic bacteria that cannot be seen by the normal human eye.

2.Let’s say cheers to CLAY!
When you are having breakouts like these, your skin will definitely crave for an intense cleanse. For that matter, a clay mask will always do good. Get yourself clay-based products for intense cleansing.

3.H for Hyaluronic Moisturizers
Since our skin needs both water and oil for optimal health, hyaluronic acid adds the 'water element' without clogging the pores. Choose products that include this magic ingredient because they help you fight acne and pimples. They have feather-light formulas that won’t clog the skin while still maintaining a protective barrier.

4. Go Fragrance Free
Avoid any skincare with fragrance as it can cause more irritation. Also, avoid washing masks in fragrant soaps. We recommend you use these products that have zero fragrance.
