While we never expected the wearing of masks to go beyond our beauty routines, a new normal is very much here and with it comes a new way to care for our skin. NEOSTRATA’s Clarify Range offers a gentle and effective solution for these new mask-induced breakouts.
‘Maskne’ is something many of us are struggling with at the moment. These breakouts form in the area underneath your mask, particularly around the mouth and chin.
This can be caused by a number of factors, in particular, the friction of the mask against the skin and the build-up of humidity and heat under the mask, causing irritation, sensitivity, rawness and blemishes.
However, there are some simple ways to keep your skin in check with NEOSTRATA;
Keep it clean:
Cleansing is key when it comes to keeping Maskne at bay. NEOSTRATA’s Mandelic Clarifying Cleanser €30.50 is a gentle exfoliating cleanser to help clarify pores and improve skin texture. With Mandelic Acid, PHA and Salicylic Acid this gentle cleanser targets blemishes and breakouts, washing away excess oil and problematic bacteria that can build up under face coverings.
Keep it simple:
Don’t overwhelm your skin with layers of heavy product. Using a few effective lightweight products can benefit your skin when it’s not at its best. NEOSTRATA’s Clarify Mandelic Mattifying Serum €47.00 is a lightweight, mattifying gel-serum which absorbs skin’s surface oils to create a velvety finish. The serum minimises the appearance of pores and controls shine while its 8% exfoliating blend containing Mandelic Acid and Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) helps clarify skin and improves the appearance of oily skin.
Keep it hydrated:
It’s important to keep the skin hydrated and protected as friction from face coverings can lead to dry and broken skin. A light moisturising SPF is the perfect step to add to your skincare. NEOSTRATA Clarify Sheer Hydration Broad Spectrum SPF 40 €41.25 is a multi-action product that protects the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays as well as providing lightweight hydration. This daily oil-free SPF provides skin with the hydration it needs without clogging pores or causing breakouts while NeoGlusoamine provides gentle exfoliation that helps diminish the appearance of dark spots and UV induced signs of ageing.
NEOSTRATA products are available from Neostrata.ie and pharmacies nationwide.
