Is Your Skin Damaged from Wearing a Mask? Heal It!

Wearing a mask and its effects on the skin

Since the emergence of Covid-19 in 2020, wearing a mask has become a daily habit. Whether surgical or fabric, it helps prevent contamination but can also irritate and weaken facial skin. Constant friction, heat, and humidity often lead to irritation, inflammation, and breakouts.

Maskne: acne caused by mask wearing

“Maskne” is a form of acne caused by prolonged mask use. The trapped warm and humid air around the mouth creates an environment where bacteria thrive and pores become clogged. The result is redness, pimples, and irritation on the lower part of the face.

How to treat this type of acne

To prevent and reduce maskne, establish a gentle and consistent skincare routine. Cleanse your face with water morning and evening, then apply soothing and hydrating products suitable for sensitive skin. Avoid aggressive or overly rich products that could worsen the problem.

Skineance products

The Skineance Snail Slime Cure is perfect for repairing and calming skin damaged by mask wearing. It includes five complementary products: day cream, night cream, micellar water, face serum, and exfoliant. Their regenerating properties help eliminate imperfections and restore your skin’s natural glow.

Why snail slime?

Snail slime, particularly from the Helix Aspersa Müller snail, contains allantoin — a natural repairing compound. This ingredient enables snails to rebuild their shells and, when used in skincare, helps regenerate skin cells, hydrate, and repair damaged tissue.

For acne — and more

Skineance’s snail slime products are an excellent remedy for acne, but they also improve the overall health of your skin. They protect, nourish, and slow down aging, restoring softness, elasticity, and radiance even after long mask use.
