As the battle against Covid-19 is still not over, face masks are now a permanent part of our daily attire. And rightfully so since they help flatten the curve and prevent the virus from spreading even further. Unfortunately, there\u2019s no denying the negative impact wearing masks can have on our skin, like the dreaded \u201cmaskne\u201d, which has gotten everyone wondering <\/span>how to get rid of pimples<\/span> around the cheek, jaw, and chin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is Maskne?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The term refers to acne breakouts caused by the extensive use of face masks for long periods. Most maskne issues can be brought about by clogged pores. Other possible factors include trapped humidity from sweating or breathing and friction, which leads to chafing and irritation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Even though most of our face is covered, seeing an acne-riddled jawline still doesn\u2019t do much for one\u2019s self-confidence. Since you can\u2019t and <\/span>shouldn\u2019t <\/span><\/i>ditch your face masks, here\u2019s a guide on <\/span>how to get rid of <\/span>mask-induced <\/span>pimples.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most effective ways on <\/span>how to get rid of<\/span> mask-induced <\/span>pimples<\/span> is by cleaning off all the built-up dead skin cells, dirt, oil, and bacteria. Using a gentle facial <\/span>cleanser<\/span><\/a> twice a day before and after wearing your face mask will ensure that your face is thoroughly cleansed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Opt for one that contains salicylic acid, like <\/span>CeraVe\u2019s Renewing SA Cleanser<\/span><\/a> for night-time use. This clears out your pores from all the accumulated gunk and combats acne-causing bacteria.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trust us, we understand how tempting it is to conceal your blemishes with <\/span>makeup<\/span><\/a>. But packing on layers of full-coverage <\/span>foundations<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>concealers<\/span><\/a> will only clog up your pores even further. Plus, when combined with the excess sweat and sebum, your skin will become more prone to flare-ups.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hence, try to go as makeup-free as possible to let your skin breathe. Otherwise, reach for <\/span>mineral-based foundations<\/span><\/a> if you don\u2019t feel comfortable going completely bare-faced. They provide a more breathable alternative and are lighter than liquid formulas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
