Ensure a snug but not too tight fit to avoid chafing.
Avoid synthetic fabrics that can trap moisture and heat

1. 2. Clean Your Face
   Wash your face with a gentle cleanser before and after wearing a mask.
   Avoid harsh exfoliants or strong acne treatments that can make the skin sensitive.
   Use lukewarm water instead of hot water.
   3. Moisturize Often
   Apply a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer before wearing your mask.
   Hydrate using ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or aloe vera.
   4. Apply Minimum Makeup
   Steer clear of heavy foundation or concealer as they clog pores when the mask is on.
   In case of application, apply oil-free and breathable makeup.
   5. Change & Clean Your Mask
   Clean the reusable masks every day using mild detergent.
   Disposable masks need to be changed regularly so that there is no buildup of bacteria.
   6. Take Mask Breaks
   If possible, remove your mask every 2-3 hours for a few minutes in a safe area.
   7. Friction Protection
   Apply a barrier cream such as petroleum jelly or zinc oxide to irritation-prone areas.
   Wear a silk or satin liner under your mask for less friction.
   8. Prevent Skin Issues
   If you develop maskne, use salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide-containing products cautiously.
   For irritation, use soothing ingredients like chamomile or colloidal oatmeal.
