Causes: Maskne
Maskne is quite a new problem and has come about as a result of wearing face masks or face coverings for an extended period of time. Maskne occurs because the face covering creates a warm, moist environment where skin is constantly in contact, and rubbing against, the fabric of the face covering being worn. This constant friction between skin and face covering is the reason why some people experience acne breakouts in this area, or red, blotchy, sore, and irritated skin.
