In recent years, masks have become a necessity as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. When we wear a mask, the inside of the mask becomes hot and stuffy due to the action of breathing, which causes some skin problems. Today, Our Lash talk about it.

For example, if you wear masks and goggles for a long time, your cheeks will be covered with marks strangled by masks. Even the swelling and irritation on your face will make your already difficult work life more difficult.

For the special period of skin problems, today let’s see how to deal with it!

What is “mask face”?

Stuffy air is the main reason for skin fragility and damage, and the skin under the mask is always in a hot and humid environment. The mask acts like a greenhouse, where some bacteria and microbes can become very active, causing inflammation in and around the hair follicles and causing skin problems.

In addition, due to long-term wearing of masks, local skin is more prone to redness, swelling and abrasion under long-term pressure. These small wounds are also more prone to infection with bacterial community inflammation, and eventually form the “mask face”.

Symptom 1: redness, swelling, itching and so on

Wear masks for a long time, some people will cause contact dermatitis, the part of the skin wearing masks is prone to erythema, papules.

This situation has two kinds, one is because of the material of the mask allergy, resulting in a red, itchy face.If the unqualified mask is used carelessly, the unqualified material will irritate the skin, and there will be erythema, swelling, tingling and other symptoms.

The second reason is that there is something wrong with the skin barrier of the person who uses the mask (sensitive muscle in daily life). When the skin is wet and warm under the mask, the skin will feel itchy and prickly.

Solution: Pre-moisturize and repair the skin barrier

Before using the mask, apply cream or oil on the compressed and rubbed area to avoid irritation of the skin caused by the mask. If the problem is a mask, put two layers of gauze inside the mask to separate the skin. And wash your face with clean water, without stimulating cleansing products such as cleansing milk.

Symptom 2: long pox, acne

When choosing a mask, many people will choose the N95 mask, which is more airtight.

However, due to its high tightness and the hot and humid air we exhale, the temperature and humidity inside the mask will increase accordingly, and a humid and sultry environment will be formed locally. Bacteria and microorganisms such as propionibacterium acnes, Marcelella and mites that cause skin problems will become more active. In addition, due to the rise of skin temperature and humidity, the sebaceous glands will increase the amount of oil secretion, but the skin is forced by the local pressure of the mask, it is easy to cause the sebaceous duct occlusion, once the oil secretion is too strong and cannot be expelled from the pores, it will cause acne or acne.

Solution:

Minimize the time you leave the house;

Wear masks without makeup as far as possible to reduce the closure of the skin itself;

Masks do not need multiple layers.

Multi-layer wearing will not only increase respiratory pressure but increase the risk of virus inhalation, but also easily lead to high local skin sealing and easy to cause hypoxia.

In addition, when people with sensitive muscles and eczema muscles wear masks for a long time, they can apply skin care products with high moisture and no irritation from pure plants in advance to form a breathable and isolated membrane to block allergies that may be caused by long-term contact with the skin.

At the same time, it is also recommended that you use mild and light skin care products as far as possible in special times, such as water + milk + sunscreen, cleaning and other basic skin care work.

One last thing! In addition to washing hands, wearing masks and avoiding gatherings, you should also eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to improve your immunity. Only in this way can you fight the epidemic well.

Isolation viruses, also do not neglect the appearance level, enhance skin immunity and remember to use essential oil& polypeptide repair skin products.
