Breakouts around the mouth, chin and cheeks from wearing masks? That's "maskne" — and Singapore's heat makes it worse.
Masks trap heat, humidity and sweat against the skin and create friction, which clogs pores and irritates the barrier — the perfect recipe for breakouts.
With consistent care it clears quickly — book a facial treatment in Ang Mo Kio if it's stubborn.
Trapped heat, humidity, sweat and friction from masks clog pores and irritate skin, especially in hot, humid weather.
Cleanse after wearing, use breathable masks, spot-treat with salicylic acid, avoid picking, and get a deep cleansing facial for stubborn congestion.
