We never saw it coming, but due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, wearing a face mask is now very much ‘the norm’.
As it’s now a legal requirement to wear a face covering in shops, bars, restaurants and on public transport, we’ve reached the point where we can’t leave the house without making sure we’ve got our keys, purse… and face mask.
While wearing a mask has become an essential addition to our day-to-day lives, that doesn’t mean it’s a comfortable one for many of us. Those of us with sensitive skin have been complaining about ‘maskne’ since day one, along with those who have never had issues with their skin previously.
Although, it makes complete sense. Wearing something tightly wrapped around your face for a long period of time is a direct route to irritated skin, leading to anything from breakouts to rashes.
