10 Tips to Prevent and Treat Maskne + Skin Irritations

Maskne or Mask related acne is affecting almost everyone in addition to other skin related issues from wearing personal protective gear.
Here are my top 10 Tips for preventing maskne and skin irritations:
Tip 1:
Always wear a clean mask. Wash in fragrance free laundry detergent to prevent contact irritation from fragrance. This keep the dirt, germs and bacteria away from your skin.
Tip 2:
Wear a proper fitting mask. A mask that doesn't fit correctly will increase the frictional irritation and stress on the skin.
