In our fight against Covid-19, we can say that masks are now our closest companions. Although it was debated at first whether the use of masks would protect or not, we were sure that it minimizes the risk of transmission in general. It is of great importance to use a mask to protect against the possibility of being a Covid-19 carrier and from droplets spreading around in cases such as cough and speech.
We have now
agreed on the use of masks. Although it is not easy, we attach importance to
the use of masks for the health of ourselves and our environment. Since it is
an unusual situation, we encounter different effects. As an example of this,
symptoms such as acne or excessive oily occur on our face. We have searched for tips to facilitate the
use of masks and how to get your skin used to this process. Let's get started!
How should
the mask be worn?
First, let's
talk about the correct use of masks. It is very important to fully protect
ourselves from external factors and to prevent the droplets that will spread
around by mouth. There are a few rules we have to follow for this.
Before
putting on the mask, we must clean our hands with soap and water for at least
20 seconds. If there is no water and soap in our environment, we should clean
our hands with alcohol-based disinfectants.
After
wearing our mask, we need to make sure that our mouth and nose area are
completely covered. If our mouth or nose is exposed, it will not be healthy for
both our environment and us. That's why we should pay attention to this issue
while wearing our mask.
Since the
usage time of a mask is at most 3-4 hours, we should have a spare mask with us
for long times that will pass outside. If we are using a washable mask, we
should have a spare with us and switch to a new mask without touching the outer
surface while replacing the used one.
Protecting
Your Skin While Using Masks?
Regardless
of our skin type, our skin may react differently due to the long-term use of
masks. In particular, we know how difficult our healthcare professionals have
in this regard and we wish them convenience.
It is
possible to protect your skin with the methods you can apply before and after
the use of masks. Now we will give you a
few tips on this issue.
2. The mask has a situation like sweating your face… To prevent this situation, you can clean your face with clean and dry cotton after disinfecting your hands. For this, you can also help make up cotton in square or round shape. Again, you should be careful not to touch the outer part of the mask while doing this procedure.
3. In skin prone to eczema, irritation may occur on the surfaces where the mask touches. With the silicone apparatus produced for this, you can prevent irritation in the places where the mask touches. For example, silicone attachments that you can attach to the rubber part of the mask can provide protection for the back of the ear.
4. You can protect your skin by using masks that make it easier to breathe, that is, with natural ingredients. Cotton-containing masks prevent irritation and provide moisture transfer in cases such as perspiration. You can continue your life by covering your mouth and nose area with a cloth mask suitable for daily use.
We shared with you the tips for using masks, which we have
included in most of our lives, and what you need to apply to protect your skin.
We are always with you so that you can have the best and the most natural.
Stay healthy and happyJ
