How Koreans Are Preventing Maskne

Korea was the second country to be globally hit with COVID-19 and is now considered the best example of how to successfully tackle the virus, get the curve down, and minimize the death toll. One of the early initiations taken in Korea after the initial outbreak was the mandatory regulation of wearing a mask in public.

The Mask Effect:

Wearing masks to take the transit or enter into any enclosed public space is now mandatory in Canada and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, a new phenomenon,  called “Maskne” (acne, rashes, and skin irritation occurring while wearing a mask) has increased so dramatically that it has now become a thing.

Here Are 8 Ways Korean Women Are Successfully Avoiding Maskne:

1. Going make-up free.
2. Loading up on pimple patches.
3. Using cotton masks (with disposable mask filters) that are washed daily.
4. Applying skin products that contain anti-inflammatory ingredients such as niacinamide, aloe, honey, and green tea.
5. Keeping face mists in their bag to use regularly during the day as a refresher.
6. Sheet Masking 2-3 times per week to build a stronger protective skin barrier.
7. Using plant-based emollients/salve creams containing ceramide and squalane oil to reduce incidence of skin irritations.
8. Keeping skin clean by double cleansing with hydrating low pH cleansers morning and night.
