MASKNE” is a term that emerged during the Covid-19 pandemic which derives, as easily understood, from the merger of the words mask and acne. Initially coined to describe acne manifestations, it is now used as a generic term under which to include all types of irritative phenomena caused or exacerbated by the use of the mask.
In fact, prolonged use not only causes repeated rubbing, but also limits oxygenation and retains moisture, creating an ideal environment for bacterial proliferation.
This consequently has many harmful effects for the skin: spots, microcysts, acne manifestations and scars made more visible by friction, dryness, irritation and skin sensitization.
The right balance for an effective routine in combating them: cleanse, soothe and protect.
