What are the negative effects of using a mask for a long time on the skin?

Covid-19 continues to have its impact globally and in Turkey, and it seems like this situation will remain on our agenda for a long time. During this period, as mask usage has become essential in our daily lives, there has been an increase in skin complaints related to mask use.

Prolonged mask usage can lead to redness due to irritation in the area covered by the mask, and individuals with sensitive skin may experience flare-ups of eczema. Friction and sweat-induced irritation can lead to clogged pores and changes in skin flora, exacerbating conditions such as acne (pimples), rosacea, and oily eczema (seborrheic dermatitis).

So what to do?

We can prevent or eliminate skin problems caused by mask use.

• After removing the mask, we should wash and cleanse our face with a soap-free formula like “Daily Cleansing Foam.“

Using the long-lasting moisturizing effects of Microbiome Series products would be suitable for strengthening, balancing, and moisturizing the skin flora.

• If you have itching, redness, and excessive dryness (such as acne, rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis), you can quickly address these issues and strengthen the skin flora while achieving a healthy skin appearance with “Pre-Biome Daily Cream Sensitive Skin.”

• If you have a dull, dry skin, you can restore its healthy and balanced appearance and regain its radiance with “Pre-Biome Daily Cream All Skin Types.”
