Skin Problems While Wearing Masks

With the spread of pandemic ,the wearing of mask is not only life-saving, but also mandatory. It is absolutely necessary for protection. Even you are wearing a mask, you should follow all other protocols strictly. Maintain social distancing. You must also continue washing hands and using hand sanitizers.
Wear gloves while going out so that you are safe from the germs on door handles or elevator buttons. Do not wear mask while exercising.

Constant wearing of masks can also cause some problems

The constant wearing of mask can trap oil and sweat deposits from the skin, or cause collection of stale breath in the mask. Constant wearing of masks can lead to skin problems, due to collection of  stale air, carbon dioxide, even saliva and mucus inside the masks. It can lead to kind of dermatitis which will need medical attention. Also, with the accumulation of oil, skin can lead to acne condition. For rashes  and allergic reactions, it is better to consult a dermatologist. Wearing a mask for long hours, while being outdoors, in the sun, can also lead to partial tanning of skin, making it look dis colored and patchy, with the difference in color on the skin in the mask area and outside the area of the mask.

Home remedies to remove tan naturally

Take two tablespoon yogurt, add pinch of turmeric, mix well and apply daily on the part outside the mask area. Wash it off after 20 minutes. This would help to remove tan in the area that is covered by mask.

If there is dryness on the area covered by mask apply aloevera gel daily and wash with plain water after 20 minutes.

Using facial scrub helps to remove tan too.

The scrub should be applied in circular motion and wash away by water. This helps to remove dead skin cells, along with contaminated pigments. The skin becomes bright and removes tan.

Ground almonds make a good facial scrub. Add little curd or cold milk to two teaspoons ground almonds and rub the mixture gently on the skin. Wash it off with water. Also, needless to say, one should take better care of the skin. We recommend mixing a sandalwood cover cream with a moisturizer and applying it before wearing the mask.

Do not wear the mask constantly. Remove the mask whenever you are on your own, or while driving your car, specially an air conditioned car.

Also, needless to say, one should take better care of the skin. Cleansing the skin at night is most important. Apply a cream that provides daytime coverage and also soothes the skin. We recommend mixing a sandalwood cover cream with a moisturiser and applying it before wearing the mask
