Yves Saint Laurent Beaute introduces tips for "mask irritation care" and "lasting mask makeup"

Jun 25, 2020
Masks are a necessity these days. Many women experience dryness, stickiness, and discomfort due to the friction and tightness of wearing a mask. It turns out that a whopping 70% of women experience skin problems caused by wearing a mask*. The friction caused by moving around while wearing a mask and repeatedly putting it on and taking it off is particularly significant. This weakens the skin's barrier function, leading to dryness and rough skin. Furthermore, the high humidity inside a mask makes it easy for bacteria to grow, leading some people to develop breakouts. With masks essential for preventing infection, how can we prevent skin problems? Yves Saint Laurent Beauté introduces tips and products to protect your skin from the current environment. * Based on internal research by YSL (N=25)


Three Key Points to Prevent Skin Problems Caused by Mask Wearing





1. Thoroughly Moisturize to Avoid Dryness
The humidity caused by a mask can make you feel temporarily hydrated, and it's easy to forget to moisturize your skincare routine. However, as soon as you remove the mask, moisture from your skin evaporates, furthering the dryness. Before you know it, your skin is dry. Now, with masks being worn more frequently, it's time to replenish moisture with a lotion that enhances the skin's barrier and protects it, creating a foundation for trouble-free skincare.



2. To combat skin irritation caused by mask friction, restore the absolute balance of ingredients
When a mask rubs against your skin, it damages the stratum corneum. In addition to the damage, humidity can cause the proliferation of bacteria, which can lead to the progression of various skin problems such as redness and acne. If you want to restore firm, radiant skin with smooth texture, it's important to restore the absolute balance of ingredients in your skin. With Pure Shot Night Serum, you'll see a dramatic change in your skin the next morning.


3. Take proper UV protection measures, especially when wearing a mask
We tend to neglect UV protection when wearing a mask. However, as regular masks do not provide any UV protection, UV protection is essential. This is why it is important to choose UV protection that does not feel confining or uncomfortable. Furthermore, with the coming season seeing an increase in "mask tans," be especially careful to reapply sunscreen around the mask. Achieve skin that is full of translucence, whatever the environment.
