Maskne: Understanding and Managing the Breakout Phenomenon

Maskne, or mask-induced acne, is a common skin issue that has arisen due to the widespread use of masks in recent years. With the prolonged use of masks, the skin is exposed to friction, humidity, and bacteria, leading to a surge in breakouts.

Who is affected by Maskne?

Maskne affects people of all ages and skin types. However, individuals with oily, acne-prone skin and those who use heavy makeup and moisturizers are more susceptible to this condition.

How to treat Maskne: Treating Maskne requires a multi-pronged approach that incorporates both skincare and non-surgical treatments.


Here are some of the most effective ways to manage Maskne:

Medical Grade Skincare: The use of medical-grade skincare products that contain active ingredients like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and retinoids can help to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and prevent future breakouts.

Lasers: Lasers, such as the Fraxel laser, can help to improve the overall appearance of the skin and reduce the severity of Maskne.

Photon Light Therapy: Photon light therapy, also known as LED light therapy, is an effective treatment for Maskne as it helps to kill the bacteria that cause acne and reduce inflammation.

Health Assessment: A health assessment can help to identify any deficiencies in the body that may be contributing to the development of Maskne.
