Skin disorders
related to the facial mask

Our lives have changed dramatically since the introduction of new health and hygiene rules to eradicate the coronavirus in 2020.
For most of us, wearing a face mask has become a new daily habit.
Whether in fabric or in paper, this face mask can lead to various skin problems, of which the most common are listed here after.

4 COMMON PROBLEMS

1| Pimples breakouts

To offer an effective protection against droplets and aerosols, your face mask must cover your nose and mouth completely. This can however induce two changes on your skin:
1. The formation of a warm and damp area, which contributes to the proliferation of bacteria and microbes.
2. The mask constantly rubs the skin, creating frictions which damage the skin barrier.

These two factors contribute to the emergence and multiplication of pimples and make it difficult for them to heal properly.

2| My skin becomes very sensitive

The friction caused by the mask damages the skin barrier whose role is to protect the skin from external aggressions. The skin becomes more reactive and sensitive and a rash or redness can appear.

Deprived of its protective barrier, the skin is also less resistant to cold, wind and pollution. Urgent action is needed.
1. When you sleep, your skin regenerates and the skin barrier gets stronger. Do not wash it with soap in the morning so as not do damage it.
2. A (top-quality) day protection cream will protect and moisturize your skin.

3| The development of skin pigmentation spots

Pimples alter the cutaneous tissue and induce an excessive production of melanin on the concerned area. Once the pimples have healed, this excessive melanin does not always disappear and can leave a dark spot on your skin.

Various natural solution allows for a reduction of the pigmentation while considerably slowing melanin production

4| The complexion is uneven, grayish and dull

Pimples, sensitive skin, dark spots, tiredness or lack of sunlight... create an explosive mix that blurs your complexion. Your skin needs vitamin, sun, oxygen and rest!

At Nadine Salembier's, we recommend simple, soft, natural solutions. The skin is the largest organ in the human body, which is one more reason to take care of it.
