Maskne!
Ask a Question
I have never really struggled with spots. But my chin has been getting bad recently with wearing a mask. Has anyone come across any products they can share?
I would like to know this too my skin has gone awful I thought it was hormones. Never in my life have I suffered with boils or acne

Mariam91130 heard a lot of good and bad things about this range so been a little skeptical but may have to try it!! Thank you
Mariam91130 can’t stand the smell of garlic!! Hopefully this works for somebody else though
Spots are usually because of excess oil clogging the pores and wearing a mask stops your skin from being able to breath, so more spots appear. You can try the seaweed range from the body shop. It's based around oil control which should stop the spots from forming as much. You can also try wearing an oxygen foundation which will help your skin to breath more and reduce the clogging of pores. Spots on the chin are also made worse around women's menstrual cycle, it's the section most targeted on a women's face during changes of hormones. There are some people who use different creams during their cycle. Try to avoid applying anything too heavy in the effected area such as thick creams and full coverage foundation as it will make it worse. And avoid oil based concealers
Moonstone22 thank you I will give the body shop a go see if that helps. I don’t wear make up really, I haven’t since wearing a mask anyway. Thanks again
I’ve used Superdrug tea tea face wash for over 20 years and have never been bothered with spots. But my face has been breaking out as well with wearing masks
I ended up with really bad boils and had to go to doctors for meds. Its worth trying a few products from boots or superdrug first. If it gets any worse go doctors.
