        If You’re Wearing a Face Mask All Day, Here’s How to Take Care of Your Skin

        SKIN SAFE

        Wearing a face mask all day can protect you from spreading germs, but it can also lead to skin issues. We’re rounded up some things that can help.

        Jillian Lucas

        Commerce Director, Scouted

        Updated Jun. 02, 2020 6:03PM ET / Published Jun. 02, 2020 6:00PM ET 

        While a lot of us only wear a face mask while outside, essential workers are required to wear one for the entire day. The point of face masks is to keep bacteria and germs contained, which is extremely important when it comes to keeping a pandemic contained. The downside to that is that it stays around your face. That can cause your skin to, well, freak out. It can cause irritation and breakouts, all of which can be addressed with a skincare routine. We’ve rounded up a few picks that can help with different skin care issues caused by wearing face masks all day.

        FOR FACE WASH 

        Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

        This gentle face wash can help remove dirt and buildup from the skin without stripping it. It’s made for sensitive skin and can also help keep your skin hydrated, which will help decrease oil production and help prevent breakouts.

        FOR SPOT TREATMENT 

        Mighty Patch Original

        I love these acne spots, which target larger pimples directly at the source. These hydrocolloid patches help eliminate acne-causing infection and bacteria. Just slap one of these on and you can wear them all day under your mask without worrying about it. 

        Buy at Amazon$13

        FOR MOISTURIZER

        Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream

        While this moisturizer looks thick, it’s extremely lightweight and non-greasy. It gives you 24-hour hydration, which can help keep your skin from becoming dry and flaky and will help keep oil production at bay.

        Buy at Sephora$53

        FOR SOOTHING IRRITATION 

        Fresh Rose Face Mask

        One of my favorite face masks to use after a day in the sun (or a day wearing a face mask) is this one. Face masks can cause all sorts of irritation to sensitive skin and this face mask, packed with rose for toning and cucumber extract and aloe vera gel, helps immediately cool and soothe skin.

        Buy at Sephora$62

        FOR DARK CIRCLES

        Baebody Eye Gel

        We’re all not getting enough sleep, but essential workers more so. This gel can help combat dark circles and signs of aging, things that can all happen from lack of sleep. 

        Buy at Amazon$25
