Anyone else find that they are getting spots erupting around their mouth a day or so after wearing a mask? And that their makeup slides off because of the hot breath/sweat? I wore one to do my shopping on the way to meeting a friend the other day and when I took my mask off not only was there loads of foundation on the inside of it but I had a line on my nose and around my mouth had gone all cakey  never mind these breakouts I am dealing with every time I wear one for more than 10 minutes.
But hey at least I don't have/probably haven't given anyone covid  |

I suggest just applying eye make up when you know you'll be wearing a mask. |

I get the eye make up only thing but if I'm in a situation where I'm able to remove the mask at some point eg social distanced outings with my friends I would still like to look nice |

Small makeup kit in your bag?

I've never worn make-up, so cannot comment on that part, but choosing masks made of high quality cotton, rather than the man made cheap fibres might also help. I have some made from lampshade silk and they have not caused me any issues. |

I did see a mask for sale, made of silk, claiming to help prevent mask related acne. It was flipping expensive though. |

Haha I wish that were true! 
I was thinking of that but then I have the issue of potentially not being able to wash my hands before applying things to my face. God this is such a first world, healthy person struggle! Guess I'll just get on with life looking like a melted troll  |

Mine were from Not On The High Street and about £15 each. Definitely worth it. |

I where one all the time at work except for lunchtime and gust don't take it of so if you did not take it of when out you would not need make up
The only problem i get is stubble rubbing on the mask so now take a electric razer to work for a trim at lunchtime |

Sweating is my biggest problem.
And probably NOT mask related but I wore make up for the first time in months yesterday and my skin has erupted! Maybe it's a combination of the make up and sweating?
What if I'm allergic to make up now and when I need to wear it my skin protests??? I'll be ugly forever! Up yours COVID-19!! |

Thankfully not yet but I tend towards lighter makeup in summer. If supermarkets have a cafe, it could be worth a quick cuppa, to remove the mask for a break (out) away from the closeness of it to skin and makeup. Possibly explore more of the drier products, or increasing eye makeup, as it pulls attention to those, whilst you perhaps have less on your cheeks etc. Bright earrings could work too. |

I don't wear makeup so that's not a problem. I don't get breakouts either because of the mask. The outer layers of my face covering is 100% cotton, maybe that helps. Maybe you're reacting to the material your mask is made from. |

"And how on earth are people managing when wearing glasses?
My glasses steam up constantly when wearing a mask and can't see very well. It's not good."
Mine don't seem to be too bad but apparently dish soap helps |

I find making sure the mask is relatively high on my nose, then putting my glasses about 1cm lower down my nose than normal helps massively. Also, controlling your breathing rate so you breathe out gently and steadily reduces the time it takes the misting to go away between breaths. |

"It's no fun for people who wear glasses no matter the mask mine still steam up  "
A friend told me if you rub soap on the lenses then wipe clean it stops them steaming up.....i tried this today and it did work |

Aloe Vera cream before wearing as can wear up to 10 hrs a day. Regular breaks though.. Cleanse then aloe again has reduced redness spots n itchyness.
That's work.. No choice.
Not at work.. Don't wear... |

Moisturise, primer (a good sticky one), some say power after but I don't, foundation, powder then setting spray (after you've done the rest of your make up). There may be small amounts of transference but just a quick touch up  is all that is needed. |

"Maybe it will get easier as the hot weather gives way to colder times as won't get as sweaty. "
I thought of that too. I imagine masks will be quite good when it is chilly in the Winter, stops you breathing in the cold air. |

I wear them 12 hours at a time and halve for months, I use a good moisturiser, then a perfector or good foundation.
It doesn't stop it completely, but helps a bit.
Saying that If I do a few shifts in a row, I do get breakouts still |

Is it ironic that Asthma UK's advice to asthmatic people who get breathlessness in cold weather, for years, has been to wear a scarf over the nose and mouth, to ensure the air around them is warmed? Surely if this is appropriate in the winter, then the same people who say they can't wear masks could use the same scarf? The "face covering" regulations do say you can use scarves etc, so perhaps a light silk one would be OK for a brief foray into a shop? |

ive been out all day today on and off public transport and in and out of shops so had a mask on most of the day ... i dont even have asthma just problematic sinuses and by the end of the day i really felt like i was struggling to get a proper breath of fresh air ... i obviously had enough oxygen to function but still get in your head “i can’t breathe”. i guess the worry is that for someone with asthma this thought triggers a panic attack that leads to an asthma attack |
