Acne, whether mild or severe, is a source of agony for many. Many women, even usually breakout-free, say that they noticed breakouts after wearing masks for a long period of time, and it worsened on warmer days. Dirt, debris, natural oils, and dead skin cells can accumulate on your face mask, inviting bacteria that cause breakouts to linger on your skin and clog pores.

Also direct friction can disrupt the outer skin layer, leading to loss of hydration, inflammation and irritation. Masks also trap humidity, oil, and sweat on the skin and can lead to acne or rosacea flares. 

It’s important to wash your mask consistently and use fragrance-free and dye-free detergent to avoid allergies.

Use a gentle cleanser as your skin will already be irritated. Any of our cream cleansers are gentle and very effective in removing make-up, dirt & germs. If your skin is very oily and acne prone I recommend acne fighting cleanser for oil control and more intense cleanse.

And of course, don’t forget to moisturize: Think of your moisturizer as a protective seal over the skin that serves as a barrier between the skin and the mask. Green tea face cream is light, hydrating and soothing. Hemp oil and chlorophyll in this moisturizer help to regenerate new cells

For those breakouts, power skin corrector is a must-have product to have in your cabinet. It is a highly concentrated and fast acting liquid formula that starts working immediately. Carbolic acid is used as an antiseptic, along with antibacterial properties, while calamine calms the skin and makes this Skin Corrector a miracle-in-a-bottle for reducing spots and healing acne and breakouts.

Parsley Herbal toner is a powerful toner that purifies and refines pores and rebalances skin. It’s great for oily skin, as it balances oil production, as well as calms and soothes the skin.  It’s a must have astringent toner for clients who regularly suffer from breakouts as it  contains a special blend of strong antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory ingredients and is packed with Vitamin C.

Periodically removing dead skin is essential to prevent future breakouts and keep your skin healthy. Oatmeal Pore minimizing blend  gently exfoliates and removes impurities, leaving skin clearer and more refined. mixing this powdery formula with a few drops of water or your gentle cleanser twice a week will instantly dissolve impurities and remove dead skin cells.

Clay based, pore cleansing and soothing herbal mask is ideal to soothe, hydrate, clean pores and restore acne-prone skin

And of course, don’t forget about salicylic acid miracle peel cream (I recommend starting it mid fall) to clear away acne scars and sun damage by gentle sloughing off deeper skin layers and revealing  glowing skin.
