Best Of #6 Protect your Skin from Face-mask Skin Problems by Eurofins Cosmetics & Personal Care

In this pandemic time, wearing a mask on a daily basis is more recommended than ever (or even mandatory) to slow the spread of the virus. However, our skin, unaccustomed to live “under a cover”, sometimes has trouble getting used to this new tropical microclimate!

In the general population, we can see:

  • discomfort appearing in people without previous medical history (irritation, redness, sensitivity, oily skin, dry lips, folliculitis of the beard),
  • pathologies worsen in the presence of the mask (rosacea, acne or “maskne”, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, etc.)

These problems, observed at the level of the nasal bridge, cheeks or chin, are linked to changes in the skin microenvironment under the mask.

In order to assess the protective, soothing, anti-friction and sebum-regulating effects of facial care against prolonged mask wear, Eurofins-Dermscan offers a set of protocols specifically adapted to this constraint. Our teams also offer tests to demonstrate the long wear and absence of transfer of your makeup products.

Finally, in an effort to provide our clients with an evident proof of compliance for hygienic masks, our  Eurofins experts  from the Textile  business line have developed the “Tested Quality” seal for these Community masks, that shall be granted to those masks meeting the thoroughly designed testing protocols.


Standard or custom-made protocol, Eurofins Dermscan has your solution to work on your claims
