Our Top Facials to Treat Maskne Plus What Not To Do In Isolation

In 2021, wearing face masks became the new norm. In 2022, let’s get to know why wearing a face mask effects our skin and how to prevent the dreaded maskne from wreaking havoc on our face! We provided our top four tips to protect yourself from Maskne, and they still definitely apply. However, if Maskne does strike, here are our favourite two advanced skin treatments the team at Skin Clinic Blyss and clients just love..

A quick refresher: Face masks often cause congested pores due to the warm, dark and damp environment created, which becomes a breeding ground for bacteria.⁠ The key to avoiding maskne is ensuring that you’re upholding your skincare routine and practising the highest level of hygiene when wearing a mask!⁠

Our top tips:  Wash your mask regularly; Rotate the use of multiple masks⁠; Wash your hands before and after touching your mask⁠; Cleanse your face morning and night⁠; Use light face products beneath the mask⁠; Book regular facials to rejuvenate and purify the skin.

Important – What Not to Do in Isolation

There are a lot of great ways to pass the time when you’re stuck at home alone in isolation, but purchasing skincare from social media is not one of them! Although our beloved social platforms provide us with endless entertainment, it’s not always a space of professional opinions and recommendations. 

If someone’s using a product that interests you, wait and ask your skin therapist whether it would be a fit for you. We don’t want to see you coming out of isolation in tears after a 6-second video swore by this “revolutionary” product. Stick to your routine during isolation and you’ll be GLOWING when it’s time to revisit your social calendar.

If you’re wanting to spice up your skincare routine, book a skin consultation with a member of our wonderful team and we can tailor a routine to achieve your skin goals.
