"Irritations, redness, tight skin, these inconveniences are related to the friction of the mask and a skin that breathes badly. Patients with eczema suffer more frequent flare-ups. The dermatologist's advice: Rinse the face thoroughly in the morning after washing to avoid leaving residues of irritating products. Also be careful not to apply scented products, as the mask prevents their evaporation. In the evening, after removing the mask, mist your face with thermal water to soothe.

In case of an eczema flare-up, consult your dermatologist to adjust the treatment".
