Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia, the mask on our faces has been covered with this face. When working at home, just wear a mask; At the end of work, you should wear a mask for up to 8 hours every day. "Wearing a mask is very troublesome" - indentation, acne, allergy, chest tightness and so on.
1. When the mask type is changed, the skin is scratched and damaged
When wearing a mask for a long time (especially N95 mask), the skin will be rubbed by the ear band and nose clip of the fixed mask, and the back of the ear, bridge of the nose, cheek and cheekbone will become the disaster area.
To avoid wrinkling, the simplest way is to replace the mask with suitable size, material and variety.
Replace N95 mask
Although N95 mask is the first choice to protect against the new coronavirus, it is enough to wear disposable
Medical Mask in supermarkets, transportation vehicles, offices, outdoor open space and other places where few people patronize. N95 mask will tighten the face skin, which is easy to cause injury; The disposable medical mask has less pressure on the skin. If the skin behind the ear is seriously damaged, a belt mask can be used to reduce friction and pressure on the skin behind the ear
Try not to wear a mask
In specific environment, the time of wearing mask can be reduced appropriately. The position of the mask can be changed properly for the relatively fixed staff and the places with less crowded people to reduce the pressure; Under the premise of environmental hygiene permission, the mask can be removed every 2 ~ 3 hours for a period of rest to reduce local skin pressure.
Skin cream
Before wearing a mask, moisturizing lotion can reduce irritation when exposed to high pressure.
Select appropriate mask size
There are three sizes of S, m and l for ordinary masks, and the appropriate size can be selected according to the face size and head shape. Before wearing the mask, adjust the tightness of the mask to avoid the indentation caused by over tightening.
2. Acne is caused by acne allergy, so often change the mask.
In the case of wearing a mask, the skin under the mask is always in a hot and humid environment; Such an environment will accelerate the reproduction of bacteria and other microorganisms, such as Propionibacterium acnes, horse salad bacteria, mites, etc., and will also damage the water oil balance of the skin on the mask, leading to dry, oily and acne. People with sensitive skin may even have contact dermatitis, erythema and papules on their face, and the whole face may be damaged
To solve acne, allergy and other problems, the most need is ventilation and bandaging.
improve air circulation
After wearing the mask for a period of time, the outside of the mask will absorb a lot of dust, bacteria and other pollutants in the air; Therefore, after removing the mask, the inside of the mask should be protected from pollution and should not be placed randomly. The moisture in the mask causes germs to breed, irritates the skin surface and causes allergy; Therefore, when the mask is wet, it should be replaced in time. If there is no mask to replace, the mask can also be replaced
In the use of the process should pay attention not to make-up, make-up must be carefully removed after make-up, to avoid cosmetic residue caused by pore blockage.
apply
Suddenly there are many acne, difficult to treat, it is best to find a professional doctor, under the doctor's advice to use a acid drugs, such as isotretinoin. For those who are sensitive to skin, allergic to mask materials or unqualified mask quality, contact dermatitis can be caused. Hormone ointment can be used under the doctor's advice.
In addition, acne may also be related to irregular sleep, overeating, emotional depression and other factors. After work, you should adjust your work and rest habits as soon as possible, eat light and easy to digest, avoid sweets and greasy food, and keep a positive and optimistic attitude.
3. When chest tightness, dizziness, chest tightness and other symptoms appear, thin masks can be replaced.
Wearing a multi-layer mask will increase the respiratory burden; The protective effect of multi-layer mask will not be improved, but will make it more comfortable to wear. Or according to their own environment and physical condition, choose the right mask, appropriate wear.
At present, the epidemic situation is well controlled, and disposable medical masks can be used in places with low access risk. The respirator with high protection level has poor air permeability. This kind of respirator has high filtration level, good sealing performance, high respiratory resistance and long wearing time will increase the respiratory burden and cause dyspnea.
In the home, the place with good ventilation and low personnel density can also not wear masks. Cotton yarn, activated carbon, sponge and other non-medical masks have a certain protective effect, and can also reduce the spread of droplets caused by coughing, sneezing, speaking, etc., which can be selected according to the situation.
If found suffocation, dizziness, chest tightness and other symptoms, can be relieved by removing the mask, can also go to the hospital for examination.
Nowadays, the epidemic of New Coronavirus pneumonia has slowed down in China, and many people with "Mask" have long been unable to resist the idea of removing the mask. Don't waste "little trouble" on previous efforts. Wearing masks needs to persist until the end of the epidemic.
