Mask-wearing restrictions may be relaxed in some areas, but the CDC recommends wearing a mask when you go out to help control the spread of the coronavirus. Sadly—and as many medical and basic experts know for sure—wearing a face mask can wreak havoc on your skin. Whether you sew your veil, buy it online, or take a DIY class with a handkerchief and a bobby pin, covering your nose and mouth can have some unfortunate side effects: scratching, itchiness, and redness, and in short, sometimes it swells or bursts. We've come up with a few ways to treat your skin while you're wearing the Shield.
Opt for a cotton face covering.
Unless you're on the cutting edge of healthcare, the CDC recommends wearing a material mask (save N95s and face shields for those who need them). Made from tightly woven cotton rather than an engineered texture, face coverings are fine, breathable, and less likely to rub against the skin, causing spots and discomfort. Another option: Look for curtains with interior pockets so you can add an extra channel (like an espresso channel) inside for added security.
Cleanse (and your veil) often.
A well-fitting mask should be in direct contact with your skin, creating an ideal breeding ground for sweat, dirt, and oil. That's why wearing a niqab requires cleansing with a pH-adjusted delicate cleanser. If you are using a natural mask, it should be washed off frequently as it retains your skin's normal oils. (Detergents and scented cleansers can be messy, so consider leaving them in the wash.)
Protects skin from erosion.
If your skin is rough, use a balm or ointment to protect sensitive areas from rubbing and scratching. Standard petroleum jelly or Aquaphor will do the trick (we also like Lucas' Papaw Treatment), but if you need a refresher, opt for an occlusive with skin-repairing ingredients, like Scientist Admissions Emollient Journey. Also, for those who need to wear an N95 mask (myth), keep hydrocolloid gauze ready. They protect the cut and scraped areas of the tight N95 mask and aid in wound healing.
If you're breaking out, skip the makeup.
Covering your face creates a warm, moist environment for your skin, which can affect sebum production and lead to pores and breakouts. Assuming you have inflammation of the skin around your nose, mouth, and chin, try to limit the amount of makeup you use under your structure—especially makeup and concealer. Anything that hides the truth is fair game.
Treat acne with gentle care
It can be tempting to pull off serious underarms when whiteheads pop up, but maintaining a good skin barrier is especially important during these times. Choose to rid the skirt of brutal skin inflammation medications and fixatives to reduce redness and irritation. Salicylic acid is a good choice because of its ability to penetrate clogged pores and relieve irritation. After all, protect active zits with dermatitis patches - no one will see them!
