MASKNE & HOW TO TREAT IT


Our masks are creating a humid microclimate which is precipitating or exacerbating skin issues under our masks. We are calling this MASKNE.


The most common problem is Acne Rosacea. Under masks, this is presenting as a combination of what appear to be different rashes. They can be red pimples, itchy pimples, or dry irritated patches.


The most effective treatment I've discovered is Topical Niacinamide. This can be found in Cream Form. If applied daily, you will see a remarkable improvement within one week.


Most of us, even those with VERY sensitive skin will LOVE Niacinamide. You are really just using a Vitamin (B3) to repair a Vitamin Deficiency in your skin. The great news is that the side effect is that it will make skin subtle & smooth. It also has remarkable anti-aging effects that will become apparent over time. Most people that try Topical Niacinamide for Maskne, particularly if they're a bit older, will stay on it because they love what it does for the overall health of their skin.


Beyond treating Maskne, and producing beautiful skin, Niacinamide has other fabulous attributes. It repairs skin barriers, is an anti-inflammatory, and has recently been discovered to help prevent skin cancer. All in all, it's a safe & fantastic discovery with nothing by upsides.


The bad news is seeing a huge upswing in uncomfortable facial rashes because of our masks. The good news is that Topical Niacinamide is a safe, inexpensive, easily accessible, and effective treatment. Maskne be gone!
