The Amorepacifc Research Institute of Technology discovered that wearing a mask for between one and six hours can bring significant change to skin temperature, redness, hydration, and sebum secretion.
“In this study, we attempted to verify the dermatologic effects of wearing a mask and skin changes over time. We revealed that skin temperature, redness, and hydration showed dermatologic changes after mask‐wearing,” said the research team.
While the adverse effects of prolonged PPE use by healthcare workers have been studied extensively, The South Korean firm claimed that this is the first study to be conducted among non‐healthcare workers.
The researchers conducted the experiment with 21 men and women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s with no skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis or face mask allergies.
