Many women noticed that wearing a face mask, which became a necessity in our day-to-day life, causes skin irritation and a large spread of acne. The increased humidity and temperature at summer prevent the circulation of fresh air around the nose and mouth area, which in turn builds up respiration and clogs the pores. Clogged skin pores are a perfect environment for bacteria growth. This effect relies on how long you wear your face mask.

How can a face mask affect your skin?

Wearing a mask prevents the circulation of airflow in the face when breathing. Humidity accumulates on skin, creating a favorable environment for many skin problems like skin inflammation and acne.
Wearing masks for long periods of time causes itchiness, which leaves the skin dry and prone to various problems.

How to prevent face-mask skin problems?

You can protect your skin from problems caused by wearing a face mask by following these steps.

Avoid applying makeup under the mask. Use a Blemish Balm (BB) Cream instead of makeup before wearing a face mask such as NIVEA BB Cream: With its light and fast absorbing formula, NIVEA BB Cream evens the skin tone and illuminates it with a matte effect. It helps to protect the skin from harmful sunlight, environmental influences and premature ageing with SPF 10.

Why use BB Cream instead of makeup?!

Cosmetics, like foundation cream, powder etc., tend to cause spots and impurities because they remain fixed on the skin surface to improve the exterior look and provide full face coverage.

NIVEA BB Cream is easily absorbed and gives a matte tone. It unifies skin color and gives a fresh look without spots.
Makeup products clog skin pores. This clogging increases with the daily use of masks. It leaves the skin prone to many problems, impurities and pimples.
This does not happen with BB Cream, thanks to its light formula. If you absolutely need to wear makeup, we recommend that you wear it on uncovered area of your face away from the mask and choosing light products.

Make sure to clean your skin before and after applying NIVEA BB Cream. Wait for 5 minutes after applying BB Cream until it is fully absorbed, then wear the mask with comfort and confidence.
