Kiev. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – December 30, 2020 – Health
Wearing a face shield on your face can trigger acne. But this can be avoided. This is what dermatologists say.
They note that during the quarantine period you have to constantly wear a mask, only this protective agent against prolonged wear can cause irritation – a mask.
Many now face not only the problem of shortness of breath, but also acne that appears on the face from prolonged contact of the mask with the skin.
How can you reduce the likelihood of a rash? The dermatologists gave some advice:
The mask should be changed regularly. The term of a disposable mask purchased at a pharmacy is 2 hours. Only during this period of time does it protect you as much as possible. If you have a reusable mask, do not forget to wash it daily.
You should not wear a mask both day and night. It is not necessary to wear a mask outside, it is better to breathe fresh air.
Brush your teeth twice a day and rinse your mouth. This will help keep harmful bacteria from building up.
Store the mask correctly! If you carry a protective product in your pocket or bag, it will automatically cease to fulfill its protective functions and become a breeding ground for infection.
Frequently washing your face or wiping your face with a damp cloth will help prevent sweat from accumulating under the mask. Otherwise, there is a risk of creating an environment for the development of any skin irritation up to serious diseases, doctors say.
