A TEENAGE PERSPECTIVE ON MASKNE
Hey! Autux here with more from a Teenage Perspective. Last blog we talked about the last step of my new effective skincare routine, but this time we'll be chatting about something a little bit different. With helpful tips from Arajee Skincare Day Spa regarding “maskne” and easy, immediate tips to fight acne causes that you might not know exist!
According to AAD, “Skip the makeup when wearing a mask. Beneath a mask, makeup is more likely to clog your pores and lead to breakouts. If makeup is necessary, use only products labeled “non-comedogenic” or “won't clog pores.” If makeup IS necessary then make sure you have a mask that is labeled as “washable” so you can clean excess makeup that comes off onto the mask. When people report having mask acne they are usually wearing disposable face masks that have rough, unbreathable textures, so when buying a face mask feel the texture and try to change it out multiple times a day.
Angela from Arajee Skincare Day Spa gave me some helpful tips on how many times you should be changing your mask. At best, three to four times a day, but if you’re limited in space or time then daily is okay as well.
Face masks aren’t the only culprits, things like your pillow case and phone are even major causes in your acne problems!
Anytime you’re outside, always bring something to wipe off your hands and phone case with, as germs can spread extremely quickly. Think about the last time you washed your phone case, then think about how many times you have touched it out in public before washing your hands, pretty gross, right? Well when you answer a phone call or simply just touch your phone screen, you’re transmitting all that bacteria onto your fingers and onto your face, which can lead to acne.
Try to clean your phone case and screen as often as three to four times a day, or more! Another culprit is your pillowcase. If you have severe acne it is probably best to start off by changing your pillowcase every night. Every time you lay down on your pillow at night you’re transferring dirt and oil from your skin and hair onto the pillows surface, even if you showered and washed your face right before you laid down. Try out these tips and see if they work for you and your skin type, I can assure you they have worked for me!
