r/skincareaddiction has done a few threads on this. I’ve found that washing my face at lunch with a cerave towelette helps. So do regular clay-based face masks at home. I’ve accepted that I’m going to just have a little extra acne for a while.

I’m not getting acne but my nose ring is constantly irritated because of all the humidity and rubbing. Not ideal for a new piercing

I bring an acne toner to work every day and clean my face in each break

I have acne to begin with but the mask just makes it so much worse

I saw on the news that cloth masks with dark ink fabric on the inside, especially blue ink, causes more irritation and acne and white fabric causes the least irritation

I was in the process of growing a beard when this hit and all that humidity increased the acne around my mouth and nose tenfold. Had to shave all of my progress :(

I pat my face with a paper towel after I get off and when I get my 10 so the sweat doesn’t dry on my face and make me break out

YES!!! I literally NEVER break out & ever since I had to start wearing the mask at work I’ve been breaking out all over my chin from sweating so much with it on.

Yes and I bought my son some face wash and I’ve been using it, it’s been helping so far. It’s Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing and it’s been wonderful. He’s 13 so he’s at that age and it’s actually clearing both of our skin!

I thought I might be the only one. I've started growing my facial hair from my HRT so my skin is already irritated by that but the mask is killing me

I can say that I would never break out but when I started worked at starbucks I would get some light acne around my forehead from the hat then once we had to wear the mask uhh forget it lol I broke out on my chin around nose so I decided to get into a skin routine and bought lush products they aren’t cheap but for me it works wonders

Been breaking out along the lower cheek area and by my chin because of it..but also I just started getting on Accutane so that might also be it 😬 honestly I’m kinda thankful for the mask, been hiding my acne so well so my eyebrow game can steal the show 😏

I use Soap and Glory t zone scrub on the area my mask sits! It works wonders for my skin

no breakouts *knock on wood*, but it has been considerably itchy all around my mouth.

No breakouts here. Maybe it's just the material and/or humidity causing it

i’ve been breaking out a ton more especially around the nose area

I usually carry 2 masks in a ziplock.
One thing I do is carry some baby wipes with me.
When I take my mask off at work during lunch after eating / drinking, I will use a baby while to clean off some of the bacteria from the mask.
Let dry.
Then replace with a new mask.

This has been working for me. 👍

Me too, I have a lot of acne

yes. i do not feel cute lol

Yes! I’ve been just leaving my pimple patches on under my mask when I go to work.

My acne is way worse. I get cystic acne on my chin and it’s so much worse now

the masks destroy your face

I'm getting it along the edge of my lower lip specifically and it hurts so bad to eat rn. Stopped using the provided masks and got my own and its slowly getting so much better

Cerave foaming cleanser for normal to oily skin (it’s good for all skin types), a salicylic acid serum (if your skin isn’t too dry, this can be too much for some. I like the derma e one), and a good moisturizer will SAVE you (I like the cerave moisturizers, they have one for every skin type). I’m not a professional but I’m a big skincare junkie and I used to work for Sephora. I learned a TON.

Yep my acne has gotten so much worse. It's helped a bit to wash my face just before work.

i had to switch to a different mask than the one they give us at work because my face just couldn’t handle it. i still get some acne but it’s not as bad as before

No, but I think it' might be bc of my beard.
