Hands up those who thought maskne was a myth, until it happened to you and you started scrambling for solutions to save your poor angry skin?

By now, everyone should know that maskne and skin issues resulting from mask-wearing are real, thanks to heat and moisture trapped in the mask which lead to an ideal breeding ground for acne-causing bacteria. Even those with otherwise great skin and zero acne problems are seeing spots pop up on their skin where masks are worn.

The good news is there’s a plethora of products that can help treat maskne, both to prevent acne, and when the acne arrives. The better news is that many of them are from Singapore brands. We’ve rounded up an all-star, all-local collection of maskne-busting products, ’cos no one knows local skin, and local maskne, like locals.
