A list of good face-mask advice
Now that you’re increasingly out and about—and wearing a mask for increasing periods of time—here are three valuable guides.
Getting comfortable: The reality is that there is nothing fun about strapping layers of material on your face—even if it is the right thing to do. The List has highly practical advice on how to make your mask more comfortable.
Dealing with zits: Maskne is a real thing—and it pops up on all the places where the mask rubs against your face. New York Times offers a very useful guide to fighting it. Equally useful: This CNN guide that teaches you how to care for your skin when you have to wear a mask for long stretches.
Makeup protocol: Given the risk of Maskne, less is truly more right now. Philadelphia Inquirer puts together the best facts for those who still want to dabble in a bit of face paint. Huffington Post offers a sensible overview (without annoying product pitches) on how to create a look—even when half your face is covered.
