I think we all have heard of and most likely experienced maskne by now, the lovely breakouts we get from wearing our masks. As masks are now a part of our reality and please do wear them, I thought I would share some of my favorite products that help me keep the breakouts under control. For me, the breakouts happen mostly on my chin. It’s an area that I have always been more prone to them from touching my chin and hormones. Now with the mask on top of make up, forget it, that’s all the things I need to break out! However, I did find products, that if used consistently, help me reduce and control the break outs and I am here to share them!
I am all for clean beauty! I think what we put in and on our bodies matters. I make the effort more and more to pick better products when possible. It’s about the journey not perfection. The three products I will share today are from a brand I recently fell in love with BeautyCounter. They strive to bring clean beauty to everyone and they have a list of over 1 800 ingredients banned from their products. Here are my 3 products!
1- Countercontrol Clear Pore Cleanser
First off the basic of skincare 101, wash your face!! If there is one thing my mom taught me about skincare, it’s to do just that. And it is specially true when you are trying to control breakouts. I wash my face morning and night with the Clear pore Cleanser! I am already almost at the end of my second tube of this product and I love it! This cleanser has a gentle scrub to fit even the more sensitive skin types and gives you that stratifying cleansing feeling.
This mask is simply amazing and rich. The Couter+ Charcoal Facial Mask is great to purify and detoxify the skin and when you have a break out that’s exactly what you want!! There are different ways in which I like to use this mask. You can do a full face mask, once a week, it’s a great for that self-care pause. I also like to use this mask only on the areas of my face that really needed it like my chin. When doing this you might also want to use another mask, like a hydrating one, for the other part of your face that don’t have the Charcoal mask on. Finally I also use this mask to spot treat the breakouts and leave the Charcoal Facial Mask on the spots all night.
Overnight mini facial, yes please!! Although this peel is not meant to directly reduce break out, it will help improve the texture of your skin by clearing away surface cells and leaving you with a radiant glow. This is definitely one product I see a difference when I use consistently every other night. On the peel nights, I will only use a moisturize after putting on the overnight resurfacing peel and that’s it. This sometimes tingles when applying so I would recommend starting with small amount and building up.
Alrighty!! These are the 3 products I have been using on rotation!! You can shop any of these products via the links and let me know how you like them if you try any also I’d love to hear about your favorite clean beauty products for maskne!
