2. Hot Summer Days Will Make It Worse Indian summers are known for being hot, humid, harsh and unbearable. The enclosed area of the mask against our skin, unfortunately, produces a microenvironment of warm moisture. This super-hydrates the stratum corneum (the outer layer of the skin) and dilates the pores and sweat glands.

4. It’s Best To Skip The Heavy Makeup When You Wear Your Mask Experts recommend that you wear as much eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara as you want, but avoid wearing foundations, powders, and blushes under the mask. Wearing a foundation under your mask clogs your pores and can contribute to breakouts, including those stubborn (and also, painful) acne bumps that form deep beneath the skin’s surface.

5. Prep Your Skin Before & After Wearing A Mask Having a consistent skincare routine, completed with cleansing and moisturizing, effectively helps treat maskne. The best way to prevent and treat maskne is by washing your face morning and night to remove dirt, oil, and bacteria. Cleansing before you wear a mask removes any acne-causing bacteria that could get trapped in your skin once the mask is on.
