Mask-Related Skin Problems by Skin Type

Wearing masks creates a warm, humid environment against the skin while causing constant friction. This combination can lead to breakouts, irritation, and redness, commonly referred to as mask-related acne.

Oily skin may experience clogged pores due to trapped oil and sweat. Sensitive skin often reacts to friction with redness or rashes. Dry skin may feel irritated due to moisture imbalance under the mask.

To reduce mask-related issues, use gentle cleansers, avoid heavy makeup under masks, and apply lightweight soothing products. Keeping skin calm and balanced is key.
