Combating dry skin and wearing masks can be tricky, but the key is actually breathability. "Dry skin is easily irritated with face masks," Aguilar said. "For one, dry skin is already dry, and when we get hot wearing a mask we tend to sweat. Sweat contains salts that can further dry out already dry skin."
To make sure you keep your skin moisturised and your face protected, she recommended opting for a 100 percent cotton choice. "Cotton is breathable and gentle, and it will also absorb moisture better than disposable paper masks."
There are a number of cotton masks on the market, so be sure to find one that fits comfortably and feels light yet protective. If you want something cute, don't worry — there are a ton of options out there
