Due to the obligation to wear masks due to the pandemic process, many people have skin disorders such as ‘acne’. Dermatology Specialist Dr., who made skin care suggestions to the citizens after removing the masks. Seçil Demirci said, “We did not remove the masks completely, but they decreased a lot. We won’t be wearing masks outside. A new term emerged in the mask era. Mask acne is called ‘Maskne’. It is known as mask acne, that is, acne in the area where the mask is. You know, we normally see a lot of acne during puberty. It is also seen in adulthood, but it has increased a lot. Because a lot of acne began to occur in the mask areas.
We also provide treatment for them. But the more you wear a mask, the more resistant the treatments become. Now we can get much better results from the treatments we give. Cleaning with a good acne product, if you have a problem with mask acne, cleaning with a good product and applying the creams given by your dermatologist will now get better results when our face is exposed. Apart from that, we were seeing a lot of allergies and eczema related to that color and fabric, especially in children, who wore synthetic and colored masks. As the skin remains closed, eczema flares up even more. It’s getting harder to pass. I can say that we will get rid of them a little bit,” he said.
THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT OF SKIN CARE
Underlining that the most important point of pre-summer skin care is to use sunscreen, Demirci said, “Besides, summer is coming and if you are a dermatology specialist, the most important thing to say is to use sunscreen. We should reapply sunscreen with a factor of at least 30 on our face every two hours and at the latest every three hours. Because the sun both stains and creates fine lines. It also causes sagging of our skin. For this reason, a sunscreen and two serums with vitamin C will protect us from the harmful effects of the sun. Of course, the sun also dries the skin. If we stay under the sun too much, I definitely recommend a moisturizer as it will cause dryness on our skin.
