With constant use of face masks causing oily breakouts especially on your chin and lower face, it’s going to leave you with some nasty marks & scars. These mask-induced breakouts can happen through friction, irritation and occlusion. Lucky for you, there’s a post-acne care and scar reduction dual-functioning solution that consists of The Face Inc Micro-Needle & The Face Inc Acne Treatment.
Wearing a face mask has become part of our Malaysian daily routine in the efforts to curb the Covid-19 spread. For those of you who have been diligently wearing your face mask whenever you leave the house (only for the essentials, we hope!) you may have noticed a few pimples popping out in some specific areas (your nose bridge, your cheeks and your chin). What you are experiencing is what dermatologists are calling “maskne”, a common side effect of using a mask.
With that said, not all hope is lost. Masks can intensify product delivery to your skin (you’ve likely seen this side effect if you’ve ever, say, treated dry, cracked feet by applying Vaseline and wearing socks to bed) and The Face Inc offers the perfect combination of skincare suited to treating your mask-related skin issues:
The solution
The Face Inc Micro-Needle Therapy is an innovative micro-needling technology designed to accelerate cell renewal and regeneration. The pairing serum is a proprietary formulation that contains a cocktail of potent anti-wrinkle peptides including Argireline that work to visibly reduce the depth and volume of wrinkles and lines.
When rolling the derma roller across the skin, the tiny micro-needles create “microchannels” that allow the potent serum and its’ active ingredients to efficiently penetrate and effortlessly absorb into the deeper layers of skin, delivering more amplified results to the reinvigorated complexion.
The benefits to your skin include:
- Scar reduction
- Lightens acne scars and discolouration
- Improves skin tone, texture, redness and hyperpigmentation
- Enhances radiance and clarity
- Smooths and plumps up saggy, lacklustre skin
- Reduces wrinkles, fine lines and large pores
The Mini derma-roller fixture comes with 540 0.25mm titanium needles attached to a bottle of colourless, viscous serum with a faint fragrance that dries rapidly upon application.
The piercing of the skin to create “microchannels” not only prompts your skin’s repair response to produce collagen and elastin but allows the efficient absorption of the follow-up product to be applied, The Face Inc Acne Treatment.
The Face Inc Acne Treatment is a proprietary spot treatment serum that quickly and effectively dries up blemishes. Rich in Tea Tree Oil, an essential oil well-known for its antimicrobial properties, the serum immediately soothes and provides overnight relief for inflammation and acne papules, dramatically reducing redness. The clear serum has a characteristic Tea Tree Leaf Oil scent. It leaves a slightly sticky after-feel which goes away when completely dry.
Directions for use:
- Cleanse and dry your skin
- Roll the Micro-Needle twice upwards and sideways gently across skin focusing on fine line areas (Do not use tool on skin that is inflamed, broken or has active eczema)
- Allow serum to absorb into the skin before moving onto the Acne Treatment
- Shake Acne Treatment bottle before use, then apply a thin layer evenly over affected areas
- Use twice a week
- Cleanse roller tool by submerging in alcohol
- Discard tool after the product has finished
While wearing your mask helps shield you against health concerns, fortifying The Face Inc Post-Acne Care Maskne Solution into your acne-fighting skincare practices can protect your skin from maskne. It’s never too late.
