How to Prevent Maskne and Keep Acne at Bay During the Covid-19 Pandemic.

LARCHMONT, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, December 23, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Wearing a face mask during the COVID-19 pandemic is an important step for preventing the transmission of the coronavirus in our communities. However, wearing the face mask for too long can wreak havoc on our skin health. 'Maskne' is the new term coined by dermatologists and skin care specialists to describe the negative side effects of prolonged mask-wearing on skin.

According to Dr. Marie-Ange D. Tardieu, the medical director of Anoki Skin Clinic, "Masks are very effective for the purpose of protecting ourselves and others from contracting COVID-19, however when kept on for a prolonged period of time, they trap heat, moisture and bacteria which can compromise our skin barrier. This creates perfect conditions for germs to flourish and can lead to worsening acne breakouts for both those who suffer from acne and those who do not."

Dr. Tardieu added that "Heat and friction also occur when you wear a mask for a prolonged period of time. This can further clog your pores causing more acne breakouts, rosacea, and a whole array of other skin conditions on areas of your face covered by the mask."

"In our skin clinic, we see and treat a wide spectrum of skin conditions associated with prolonged mask-wearing including pressure sores and deep tissue injury. We encourage anyone suffering from skin conditions associated with prolonged mask-wearing to seek out the care and consultation of a dermatologist or skin care specialist as soon as possible to avoid long term effects such as scarring" Dr. Tardieu said.

In her blog article and newly released video 'Update on 'Maskne'', Dr. Tardieu includes simple steps that you can take to prevent and improve 'maskne' and optimize your skin health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
