Are you allergic to the mask? Does your skin have a "mask face"?

　　Because of the epidemic, we had to wear masks; because we had to wear them at work, so the masks stayed on our faces, and then some people found that the skin began to deteriorate.

　　1. Itchy

　　Why do you start to show symptoms of allergies after wearing a mask?

　　There may be two reasons:

　　1) The skin temperature inside the mask rises slightly, and the humidity inside the mask increases.

　　It makes it easier for the ingredients in skin care products to penetrate deep into the skin, and then these chemical ingredients irritate the skin and cause itching.

　　Solution: stop all products, if the face is not dry, do not apply anything; if your skin is dry, you could only use pure petroleum jelly.

　　2) Masks that are used repeatedly,

　　An increase in microbes on the inside may cause itchy skin. Solution: If you smell the inside of the mask, try a new mask.

　　2. Allergies

　　After wearing the mask, there are red blood streaks and redness on the cheeks, what should I do if my face and nose have acne?

　　Some people have severe allergic reactions after wearing masks. Why?

　　It is related to skin quality, and there may be two reasons:

　　1) The skin temperature inside the mask slightly rises

　　For people with sensitive skin or thin skin, higher temperature will accelerate blood circulation, blood vessels will expand when heated, so the face will appear red, and even redness will increase.

　　Solution: Do not wear a mask, or lower the ambient temperature, thereby reducing the skin temperature inside the mask.

　　2) The increase in humidity and skin temperature in the mask will make it easier for the chemical components in the skin care products to penetrate deep into the skin. Some components may stimulate the skin and cause allergic reactions.

　　Solution: stop all products, if the skin is not dry, do not apply; if your skin is dry, just use pure petroleum jelly.

　　3. Acne

　　1) The temperature of the skin in the mask rises and the oil becomes more, which causes more acne

　　2) The microenvironment of the mask accelerates the absorption of skin care products, and more chemical components enter the deep skin, which may cause irritation and cause acne.

　　Solution: Stop all products, do not dry or apply anything; use pure petroleum jelly or diluted glycerin on dry skin. If the skin is still oily, you can use a little mandelic acid, and apply 1-2 drops to the oily area.

　　Q: Wearing an N95 mask with nose clip "burned" the skin-redness, swelling and itching

　　A: The iron sheet and elastic band of the N95 mask may cause skin injury due to friction or over-tightening. These parts can be coated with pure petroleum jelly to protect the skin. Too tight parts can be folded several layers of napkins to cushion them.

　　Q: How should I sunscreen while wearing a mask?

　　A: The mask can block part of the ultraviolet rays. If you are only exposed to the sun for a short time on the way to and from get off work, you don't need to apply sunscreen, as long as it is matched with an umbrella or big cornice hat and sunglasses, it will be able to achieve sufficient light-proof effect. If you are exposed to sunlight for a long time outdoors, in addition to physical protection from light, you should also apply sunscreen.
