Mask Skincare 101: How to Overcome Maskne and Keep Your Skin Healthy
Midmay Boutique loves to hear that all of their loyal supporters are still wearing their masks! We understand that this has been a really confusing and frustrating year, but we are powering through it together. Even though masks play a vital role in preventing the spread of COVID-19, they can be a little harsh on our skin. We all have different skin types and textures, so below are a few tips and tricks that you can use to keep clean and clear skin under the mask!
What cleanser should I use? How often should I wash my face?
Great question! Like I said before, no two faces are the same, so that means no two cleansers or face-cleaning schedules work for the same people. For me personally, I cannot wash my face everyday with soap or I will dry out my skin. So instead, I wash my face with an unscented face wash every other day. To find your perfect fit, I suggest going to www.cerave.com/skincare/cleansers, where you can find a cleanser that works for you!
What do I use after I cleanse my face?
Moisturize! Moisturize! Moisturize! Whether you are reading this from the desert or the most humid place on earth, moisturizer is key. Moisturize before you put on a mask and after you take off your mask to keep your skin constantly refreshed and prevent breakouts! My suggestion is to also find a moisturizer that has sunscreen mixed in for extra protection against UV rays, no matter your skin type or color. For the most efficient moisturizer, I suggest using these kinds for the following skin types:
Dry to Very Dry Skin: Moisturizer Cream
Combination Skin: Moisturizer Lotion
Oily to Very Oily: Moisturizer Gel
The most important part of this article is to remember that you are beautiful, handsome, and gorgeous no matter what. Own your beauty.
