Amid Covid-19, wearing face masks have become mandatory. Infact, most of the stores and malls do not allow one to enter without wearing face masks. But it can also be hard on your skin, causing problems that range from acne and peeling skin to rashes and itchiness
Here 5 tips to avoid allergies caused by facemasks
1.Use the right mask which are soft, natural, and breathable fabric, such as cotton
2.Cleanse your face properly and then moisturize with a water-based moisturizer as they are light and not oily.
