Even those lucky ones who never have to deal with acne are now finding that prolonged wearing of a protective mask for COVID are experiencing “Mask-Ne”.
Protective masks, no matter what they are made of dry out your skin, trigger inflammation, and harbor bacteria. Keeping the skin barrier intact is critical!
At JOËLLE MARTINE we have all the ingredients needed for proper cleansing with exfoliation, hydration and moisturization, reducing inflammation, and controlling microbial growth.
Here are our recommendations:
1. Always cleanse before and after prolonged use of a protective mask.
If you are wearing face makeup (maybe it’s time to breakup with foundation) first remove with our
Cleansing Water and Toner, then cleanse with one of our gentle cleansers,
Clean and Tone Cleanser if you tend to have clogged pores.
Oat Cleanser or Rose Oat Cleanser if you have inflammation, or broken skin.
Once a day for exfoliation and anti-bacterial benefits, add a dime-size amount of
Everything Scrub to your cleanser.
2. Always spritz after cleansing for antioxidant protection and hydration with either
Mineral Spray Mist
Organic Rose Mist
3. Now you want to protect and heal your skin’s barrier with laying down a light application of one of our essential emu oils:
