Since the mask mandate started when people were allowed to go out, my acne has gotten worse. Before wearing masks I had nothing in my cheek area, but after wearing them a bunch of pimples and blackheads have popped up. I find it strange that I can go to school with no new pimples on my face, but when I return I have 1 or 2 yellow pimples appear. This has happened multiple times and I think it’s from the masks. Is there any way to stop this? I don’t wear makeup under my mask just moisturizer and sunscreen/spf. How can I prevent these pimples from appearing and clear my cheek area? The rest of my face is fine but the cheek area and anything under the mask has acne and i dislike it.

Those big fat zits on your back
That won't pop, and you can't quite reach them, and they're so deep and painful. I'm going to ask my husband in a little bit to try and help me pop it again. He...
I get this too! I have to wear a mask to work. The acne I get is horrible compared to the acne I got as a teen. It's like deep under the skin and stays for a month, occasionally scaring even. I think it's because the mask rubs away the fine protective barrier of the skin, and the environment it creates is stupidily moist and sweaty. It's a bad combo. I don't know your skin type, but mine is quite dry. When I was washing it too often, it would be the worst ever and break out a ton. So far, just using soap and water is what's working best, but I'd encourage you to research because everyone's skin is different.
ReplyTry washing your face with Aqueous cream.
ReplyI’ve seen this thing online I’m not sure what it’s called but it’s prob possible to find it. It’s like a protective layer under your mask. It looks like a sheet mask with ear peices so u just wear that under your mask
ReplyYour face is supposed to be exposed to sunshine and fresh air. Ditch the mask. Humans are supposed to use their faces in communication. Mandates are not Law, they are mandates.
ReplyImagine putting up with spots because you're forced to wear a mask. Stop allowing other people to bully you, even if it's the Government. Abuse is abuse, no matter who it comes from.
ReplyHello I have a little suggestion! So what you want to do is every night wash your face with a steaming hot towel, just let it sit there and then gently clean your face with it. Hope that helps!
