Top Mask‐Proof Makeup Tips
- Regular mask washing is number one!
- Keep on top of your skincare routine and focus on hydration
- Choose makeup with skincare benefits
- Lock your look in with setting sprays
- Look and feel amazing!
1. Wash Your Mask
Mask hygiene is an absolute must! Breathing into your tightly secured mask throughout the day creates a warm, damp haven for bacteria to breed. This in turn gives them ample opportunity to get into (and clog up!) your pores.
Make sure you’re washing your mask daily on a high temperature to kill those germs and keep your chin area looking clear and fresh.
2. Keep on Top of Your Skincare
Keeping up your skincare routine is especially important when you’re wearing a mask on the regular.
First things first, if you aren’t already, make sure you’re cleansing every morning and every evening to clear your face of any grime or dirt.
Add a gentle exfoliator into your weekly regime to sweep away dead skin cells, and make sure you’re prioritizing hydration with moisturizers. It can become super dry under there!
