class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s&nbsp;open up&nbsp;about&nbsp;maskne&nbsp;and&nbsp;maskitis. After over a year of living with masks,&nbsp;we\u2019re&nbsp;all accustomed to dealing with skin issues associated with wearing them. How can mask wearing affect your skin? And how can you tell the difference between&nbsp;Maskne&nbsp;vs&nbsp;Maskitis? And most importantly\u2014how&nbsp;can&nbsp;you treat&nbsp;maskne?&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Maskne\"><\/span><strong>What is&nbsp;Maskne?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you wear a mask daily, especially during the hot summer months, your skin is susceptible to humidity&nbsp;and also&nbsp;irritation from the mask being close to skin, and possible rubbing of the skin \u2014 specifically on the nose, cheeks, and chin. After wearing your mask, you may see sweat, dirt,&nbsp;oil&nbsp;and makeup \u2014 even remnants of your skincare, such as your sunscreen or moisturizer \u2014 on your mask.&nbsp;&nbsp;Maskne&nbsp;is acne that forms around the nose and mouth caused by mask wearing, but also by shields.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Maskitis\"><\/span><strong>What is&nbsp;Maskitis?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maskitis&nbsp;differs from&nbsp;maskne.&nbsp;Maskitis&nbsp;is a skin rash, characterized by small bumps, redness,&nbsp;inflammation&nbsp;and dry, flaky skin. The difference is important because if&nbsp;maskne&nbsp;isn\u2019t&nbsp;diagnosed correctly, it can lead to further skin irritation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Culprits_Behind_Symptoms_for_Maskne_Maskitis\"><\/span><strong>Culprits Behind Symptoms for&nbsp;Maskne&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Maskitis<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though the afflictions differ, the culprits that could be behind&nbsp;these symptoms&nbsp;include&nbsp;how the mask is fitting, whether the laundry detergent&nbsp;you\u2019re&nbsp;using to wash your mask is irritating your skin, or it could be possible rosacea acting up.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_To_Avoid_Maskne_Maskitis\"><\/span><strong>Tips&nbsp;To&nbsp;Avoid&nbsp;Maskne&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Maskitis<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wash_Your_Mask\"><\/span><strong>Wash Your Mask<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And wash it often! You&nbsp;should really aim to wash your&nbsp;mask after each wear.&nbsp;It\u2019s&nbsp;safer for you from a health perspective, but also from a skincare perspective. Masks get dirty easily. Makeup, sweat, sunscreen and skincare products can&nbsp;get on your mask, not to mention what you encounter outdoors.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hand&nbsp;wash&nbsp;your mask in the sink after each time you remove it. Let it air dry and have another washable mask in your rotation to wear in the meantime. Use a mild, fragrance-free detergent to&nbsp;wash your mask is best if you want to avoid acne, skin irritation, or skin redness.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Treat_Your_Maskne\"><\/span><strong>How to Treat Your&nbsp;Maskne&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To take care of your acne-prone skin, try washing with&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/shop\/soothe-gentle-cream-wash\/p\/SOWA125\" target=\"_blank\">Soothe&nbsp;Gentle Cream Wash<\/a>&nbsp;and following that up with the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/shop\/unblemish-regimen\/p\/UNRJ001\" target=\"_blank\">Unblemish&nbsp;Regimen<\/a>.&nbsp;The lineup includes four products that are formulated to work together to clear adult acne and visibly improve signs of aging.&nbsp;Use the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/shop\/unblemish-clarifying-mask\/p\/UNRMF50\" target=\"_blank\">Unblemish&nbsp;Clarifying Mask<\/a>&nbsp;at least once a week.&nbsp;This treatment contains the maximum concentration of purifying Sulfur to treat&nbsp;existing acne and prevent new breakouts.&nbsp;A weekly&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/shop\/unblemish-clarifying-mask\/p\/UNRMF50\">Unblemish&nbsp;Clarifying Mask<\/a> or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rodanandfields.com\/shop\/unblemish-refining-acne-wash\/p\/UNWA125\">Unblemish&nbsp;Refining Acne Wash<\/a> three to four times a week helps for acne prevention.

In addition to keeping hand sanitizer on you, you may want to keep face wipes on you, as well. Wipes help you keep your skin as clean as possible when you take off your mask.
