Since a few months, wearing a mask has become a daily gesture. Depending on our activities, we can wear it for whole days continuously, which is not without consequences for the quality of our skin. Indeed, this forced and prolonged lockdown of our pores inevitably leads to redness, dryness or even acne depending on each skin type. To fight against these inconveniences, there is only one solution: adapt your beauty routine!
Which beauty routine for dry skin?
Underneath the mask, dry skin will mainly suffer from a dehydration increase but also from irritations mainly on the cheekbones. Tightness and redness can be fought off with the use of moisturizing skin care products, in particular strengthening the skin's hydrolipidic barrier. They can be combined with soothing treatments, for a complete face application or even more localized in the friction mask areas.

In order to be effective throughout the day, these products need to be compatible with mask wear by being resistant to both friction and sweat.
