Taking Care of Your Skin During a Pandemic

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our lives forever. Wearing a mask is absolutely necessary during this time, but there’s no denying that it takes a toll on your skin. Most people have experienced more breakouts and congestion than usual due to wearing masks. Here are 3 things you can do to combat breakouts caused by face masks:

• Thoroughly cleanse your face twice a day. Focus on areas that are typically covered by your mask like your nose and chin.
• Avoid wearing heavy makeup on areas of your face that are covered. Wearing makeup on these areas makes it difficult for your pores to breathe, and can lead to skin congestion.
• Consider using Niacinamide before your moisturizer. Niacinamide helps combat break outs by providing oil control.
