In the Covid-19 era, we are facing skin troubles by wearing a face mask daily, and repeatedly.
Wearing a face mask for hours causes the increase of the facial skin temperature by exhaling air. Like the current climate changes occur by global warming, our skin might have various skin troubles by the skin temperature rise.
Short time uses (6hrs) of wearing the mask causes the issue of skin temperature rise, skin flare (rashes), and excessive sebum. However, using for a long time (6hrs/2weeks), it causes elastosis, enlarged pore size, and volume, and leads to breakouts.
For the skin problems induced under your mask, BST suggests the following solution for the skin trouble.
- According to the in-vitro test, it can be observed that BCX-CA has an anti-acne effect equivalent to or higher than that of tea tree oil.
- Clinical studies have shown improvement in acne.
