Get That Slick Face With Face Mask

It is no news that the pandemic has plunged some women into seeking suitable face cleaning regimens. Wondering how to do that elaborate makeover and a dashing makeup for that meeting and daily activities? 

We are in this together, the reason I have few tips to get you prepped to embrace the new normal. At the end, we should learn to take proper care of our faces regardless of the limitations experienced in the course of observing the controls. 

So let's dive right in!

All the nations of the world have united to enforce the use of face masks to not necessarily abolish the known pandemic but to help protect individuals against the pandemic. We must reiterate that most protective clothing like the facemasks are not necessarily comfortable but offer the best protection against any potential for injury or harm. As we progress, it is also important we note that face masks do not lower oxygen levels, However, the face masks may be harsh on the skin posing skin conditions such as itchiness, acne and uncomfy sensations around the body.

Who says we can't still slay within and without whilst gracefully observing the policies to always don our face masks. To justify our title, see below some researched safety tips to obtain a slick face while having to deal with the masks.

Cleansing and moisturizing your face daily are intentional cares on the skin that can go miles in averting skin anomaly that may develop under the face mask. dryness is a hazard that is associated with face masks giving bacteria an entry point into our skin. When you moisturize before and after wearing your face mask to get a slick face, you tend to add a protective layer to protect the skin and reduce dryness. 

In purchasing moisturizers for yourself, look keenly for ingredients with Ceramides or Hyaluronic acid or Dimethicone which can also provide a suitable barrier that helps reduce irritated skin.

It is imperative to also consider the different skin types to pick the best care option suitable for you.

See below guide to a helpful selection of suitable moisturizer:

Oily skin (hot or humid weather): Use Gel moisturizer

Normal or combination skin: Use Lotion

Dry to very dry skin: Use Cream 

Protecting your lips by applying petroleum jelly or protective balm, prevent cracked and dry lips. You should make this a routine before you put on your face mask and before you go to bed. Do not be tempted to apply protective balm on the face skin unless the instructions permit to avoid avoidable breakouts.

So I discovered since the pandemic, I lost my muse to making up as often as I use to besides the makeup smears every time. If this is your reality too, then skipping this ordeal might be necessary to avoid clogged pores which may result in breakouts. But if makeup is really necessary to smash that look then lookout for products labelled "won't clog pores" or non-comedogenic" to still keep the face slick.

Sticking to the familiar and not trying new products will keep you off harm's way. The trouble with face masks is sufficient, so please avoid trying harsh products such as exfoliant, chemical peel etc, keep the face organic and free or harsh products.

Selecting and donning the appropriate mask offers a comfortable fit, at least two layers of fabric and soft, natural and breathable fabric on the inside layer that rests against your skin.

The right mask must meet the basic requirements to not be tight which may irritate the skin or too loose which could also transfer germs when slides around the face. Again you are more likely to adjust a poorly fitting mask, the reason you must abstain from picking your face after adjusting your face mask.

Taking conscious hiatus from wearing the face mask, like 15-20 minute off the mask for every 4 hours outside your home helps save the skin from breakouts and irritations. Preferably a well-ventilated space or enclosure with you alone works just fine. 

Finally not just washing the cloth face mask but washing it properly removes the oils and skin cells that are retained in the mask to avoid skin problem.

To treat an advance face skin problem, consult your doctor.

As we conclude, ensure you follow these safety tips and write to us about what you think about our tips to give you that slick face with the face masks. Until I come on your timelines again, do well to stay safe.
