THE CONSEQUENCES OF A DIRTY FACE MASK

'maskne' (mask-acne)

The combination of bacteria, heat, friction, and moisture under your face mask can lead to acne, or ‘maskne’. Frequently cleaning your mask with a non-irritating, unscented, hypoallergenic cleaner is essential in combating this problem.

Decreased protection

A dirty face mask decreases its ability to function properly. This results in less protection from illness-causing pathogens for yourself and those around you.

illness & sore throats

A face mask teeming with bacteria, dirt, dust, and other contaminants can contribute to respiratory related sicknesses, such as sore throats, when you breathe in the germs trapped in the mask.

Bacteria Spreads

It is recommended that you limit how often you touch your face mask with your hands. Touching your face mask can transfer bacteria and viruses onto your hands. With Mask Defender, you can control the spread.

unpleasant odours

Bacteria that easily repopulate in a face mask can result in a very unpleasant odour. Dirty face masks can also lead to bad breath, via the bacteria they hold, and the drying of the mouth that they often contribute to.

prevent 'maskne'

It can be hard to prevent clogged pores. Wearing a face mask provides a perfect environment for bacteria, dirt, oils, and other contaminants to build up, often resulting in acne. Maintaining a clean mask is essential to preventing these breakouts. Mask Defender targets the bacteria, dirt, and contaminants on your mask that contribute to acne.

Don't make the problem worse

Keeping a face mask clean is essential to its proper function and to prevent unwanted side effects. However, using harsh, irritating, or scented chemicals, detergents, or soaps can cause more issues by further aggravating any acne breakouts or sensitive skin irritation. Mask Defender is non-irritating, alcohol free, and hypoallergenic.
