I have to wear a mask all day at work, and my skin has literally suffered where the mask touches; it’s filled with acne. I didn’t have any acne problems before, but now I can’t seem to get rid of it. I’ve been cleaning and taking care of my skin, but it just won’t go away. Is there anyone else experiencing this? At least, what can I apply in the evenings to soothe this area? It looks really bad.
It could actually be not only from the mask but also from the moisturizer you apply underneath the mask that is clogging your pores. I also wear a mask, but when I switched to cotton ones, those bumps on my chin have somewhat decreased.
In the evenings, apply La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo to that area to soothe it. Also, make sure to change your mask every three hours at work; otherwise, those pimples will never go away in that humid environment.
