Try these skin-balancing products that fit into any routine whether on the go or you have a little more me-time.

Masks have solidified their place in our daily lives. And in a time of health restrictions and precautions, they aren&rsquo;t going away anytime soon. Alas, this also means that maskne is here to stay.&nbsp;
You aren&rsquo;t imagining it&ndash;maskne or mask acne is a very real phenomenon. As medical facial coverings are meant to keep droplets in, moisture and bacteria can&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.wired.com/story/mascne-causes-and-treatments/" class="editor-rtfLink" rel="noopener">get trapped inside</a>, creating an acne-friendly environment.&nbsp;
To stop this from happening, forgoing a mask is never the option. Luckily, there are other ways to keep your maskne in control. Switching out your masks regularly is one. And along with that, you can make changes to your skincare routine. Here are some products to help stop acne from forming and keep your skin at bay.&nbsp;

Often, the friction between your mask and skin causes inflammation. To help your skin out on the go, bring along the ClocheFlame TLC Mist. It&rsquo;s a restorative facial mist that calms, reboots, and hydrates the skin. 
It contains hydrolyzed oat extract to soothe, d-panthenol to reduce inflammation, and niacinamide to support the skin barrier. Spray and feel instantly refreshed.&nbsp;

Refresh on the go: ClocheFlame TLC Mist

As soon as you take off your mask, consider&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/04/9657212/face-mask-skin-care-acne-rash-coronavirus" class="editor-rtfLink" rel="noopener">cleansing your face</a>. It will help remove excess oil and other impurities that have been building up inside.
The NIVEA WonderBAR Anti-Pimple Scrub is a great option for post-mask skin. Made with kaolin clay and <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/benefits-of-green-tea-for-skin">green tea extract</a>, it decongests and purifies the skin. This cleansing bar is also natural and gentle, so using it won't cause further irritation.&nbsp;

Preventive skincare is also something you should consider. Oxecure&rsquo;s Acne Clear Oil Control Moisturizer helps you combat maskne before you even put on the mask. Before you leave home, apply to regulate excess oil throughout the day. 
Aside from oil-regulation, the lightweight gel also contains salicylic acid to unclog pores and <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/tea-tree-oil-for-skin">tea tree leaf extract</a> to soothe acne-prone skin.&nbsp;
