Mask Acne

Acne on the lower half of the face, the area most likely to be covered by a mask such as the kind worn to prevent transmission and reception of virus particles borne in respiratory droplets.

Mask Acne results from the build up of dirt and perspiration trapped by a mask against the skin. The extent of your Mask Acne reflects the extent to which your mask is sealed against the skin. More acne indicates a more effective seal.

Mask acne is just a small part of the price of the fight against the spread of the Corona Virus and COVID-19. It is nothing to be ashamed of.

Hey! My mask covers my Mask Acne!

To prevent Mask Acne, change your mask often (as supplies allow).

Mask Acne can be reduced by washing your face and not just your hands.
