<h2>How to deal with dry skin when wearing facemasks</h2><p>2025.08.13</p><h4>Wearing a facemask for extended periods can sometimes lead to dryness and irritation. This happens because the mask creates a microclimate around your skin, where moisture can evaporate unevenly, and friction can weaken the skin’s natural barrier.</h4><h4>To reduce dryness, keep your skin clean and hydrated. Use a gentle cleanser to remove sweat and buildup, and follow with a fragrance-free moisturizer to help lock in moisture. Choose masks made from soft, breathable fabrics that fit well but are not overly tight. If possible, take short mask breaks in safe environments to allow your skin to breathe.</h4><h4>Pay attention to any signs of persistent irritation, as this might require adjusting your skincare routine or mask type. With a few small adjustments, you can help protect your skin while still staying safe.</h4><figure class="image image-style-align-center"><img style="aspect-ratio:1280/853;" src="https://drgabriela.bh/files/Articles/how%20to%20deal.jpeg" width="1280" height="853"></figure>
