Humidity & Friction are the main causes of maskne.⁣ ⁣ 💦 Humidity: When your pores are open, this now leaves your skin completely open & vulnerable to anything that’s on top, so any pore-cloggers in your skin or makeup are penetrating much deeper into the pores than usual.⁣ ⁣ ⚡Friction: Friction and irritation can push bacteria into the skin, creating micro-tears. This allows easier entry for bacteria & dirt and can lead to inflammation which then creates acne.⁣ ⁣ Pro Tip: Get a mask that is large enough to protect yourself but that doesn't rub too hard on your skin.⁣
