[acne] Mouthwash has helped me so much with "maskne"

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I've really struggled with "maskne," or acne from wearing Covid face masks. I'm lucky to work remotely, so I usually don't have to wear a mask for hours at a time. But even three minutes in a mask while I run into a store and my face would break out.I saw an offhand tip on r/SkincareAddiction that rinsing with mouthwash before wearing a mask would help kill some of the mouth bacteria that gets trapped against your face when you wear a mask. I tried this, and it has helped SO MUCH! My maskne hasn't gone away completely, but it is loads better.(For longer stretches, I've also had success with applying Vaseline on my face before putting on the mask, which seems to create a barrier between bacteria and skin.)Thanks to whomever offered this tip, and I hope this helps someone else!
