maskne is the name of facial acne caused by the frequent use of mask, due to the pandemic. The use of the mask causes increased moisture and facial heating, altering the skin's natural microbiota and favoring the appearance of acne. The skin also becomes more oily, which is another factor that contributes to the appearance of acne lesions. To avoid the emergence of this type of acne, we must be up to date with the skincare routine. In addition, it is essential to be careful with the type of mask used. 100% cotton and surgical masks reduce facial heat, aiding in skin ventilation. Changing the mask every 2 hours also helps to prevent these injuries. We must not forget to moisturize the face, use sunscreen and avoid excessive makeup. These actions reduce the appearance of the maskne.
