How to reduce the damage to the face caused by masks? Everyone needs to know

The troubles of wearing masks every day are countless: foggy glasses make it difficult to see clearly, acne appears on the face, and I dare not apply makeup

You should know about wearing masks.

At present, masks that can effectively block COVID-19 include:

How to wear a mask?

1. Distinguish between positive and negative aspects

Masks are divided into front and back sides, top and bottom. The front side (facing outward) is mostly light blue or dark, while the back side (facing inward) is mostly white or light colored. For those with a metal nose clip inside, it is above.

2. Wash hands

Before wearing a mask, it is necessary to wash your hands because masks are relatively sterile. If your hands are dirty, touching the mask will cause the dirt on your hands to rub against it, and the mask will be worn for nothing.

3. Wear it

Make sure the back of the mask is facing inward, with one end of the metal strip facing upwards, and hang the ropes at both ends on the ears.

4. Compression and stretching

Press the metal strips on both sides of the nose bridge tightly with both hands, so that the upper end of the mask is tightly attached to the nose bridge, and then stretch the mask downwards to prevent wrinkles and better cover the nose and mouth.

Method of removing mask:

Do not touch the front of the mask (contaminated surface);

Pinch the strap of the mask with your fingers and throw it into a medical waste container. After removing the mask, wash your hands.

What should I do if I always get acne while wearing a mask?

Makeup+wearing a mask=deadly operation!

The bacteria cultivated in this way are second only to acne prone skin. If you cannot give up your desire for beauty, we recommend that you do so

1. Be sure to use regular masks and change them frequently;

2. Wear a mask continuously for no more than 3 hours to prevent bacterial growth;

3. Do a good job of facial cleansing;

If you have sensitive or acne prone skin and need to wear a mask for a long time, you should remove the mask every 2 hours in a well ventilated and low flow area to allow your face to breathe.

Remind everyone to change their masks frequently when working in high temperature and enclosed environments. An increase in temperature can lead to more vigorous secretion of sebaceous glands, increased oil production from the skin, resulting in dull skin tone and enlarged pores. Many people wear masks and get acne because of this reason.

How to reduce the damage caused by masks to the face?

1. Choose breathable masks

On the premise of not affecting the protective ability of masks, choose disposable masks with soft texture, appropriate size, and good breathability.

It is also necessary to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the mask, and it must be replaced in a timely manner to avoid the growth of bacteria.

2. Enhance skin tolerance

Before wearing a mask, apply some mild moisturizing skincare products to form a protective film on the surface of the skin, isolating sweat and other irritants.

3. Do a good job in oil control

People who wear masks for a long time, especially those with oily skin, are prone to clogged pores. Compared to women, men's sebaceous glands are more affected by androgens and secrete more oil, so it is important to control oil and moisturize daily.
