Is your COVID mask causing acne mechanica?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Acne Mechanica is a type of inflammatory breakout that’s caused by skin friction, heat, pressure on the skin, or when skin isn't exposed to enough air. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wearing a PPE and protective masks are just one of the reasons you can develop acne mechanica. Other common triggers are bra straps, tight workout clothing, helmets, backpacks and holding a mobile phone to your face for long periods of time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whilst avoiding the trigger (i.e wearing a mask) is ultimately the best way to get rid of acne mechanica, unfortunately many of us don't have that option so tomorrow I'm going to be sharing my top tips how to calm and reduce this type of acne!

Which would you rather eat?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Despite dairy and sugar being vilified as the worst foods for acne, it is actually vegetable oils in our diet which are the biggest problem and why acne is at an all time high!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To counterbalance this, the oils are then treated which chemical deodorisers to neutralise the smell.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All this messing about means that vegetable oils are the biggest source of dietary free radicals, causing widespread inflammation throughout the entire body causing havoc on our skin, hormones and overall health!
