10 best silk face masks for people with sensitive skin+ photos
If you're worried about maskne, a silk face covering might be your best option.
Social distancing measures mean that it's recommended that we wear a face covering over our nose and mouth when we go out in public, and we’re definitely into making a fashion statement with 2020's hottest (sometimes literally) required accessory. There are funny masks to show your sense of humour, designer masks and stylish masks that you can find at some of your favourite high street shops. And we’ve also spotted a very special cloth mask solution if you have sensitive skin or are worried about maskne, the acne caused by wearing face coverings: silk face masks.
Will a silk face covering prevent maskne?
Experts also say that face coverings made of silk are the best to wear if you have problem skin or are worried about the dreaded maskne. Silk face masks are also gentler on your skin compared with polyester or other types of face masks, and are more breathable than multi-layer cotton. Then there's the touchability factor – silk masks are decidedly more luxurious.
One of the earliest silk face masks we spotted this spring were beautiful 100 percent silk masks from indie brand specialists Wolf & Badger, known for their roster of sustainable and ethical labels.
The silk masks by GISY, a label created by designers Gijs Voogt, from the Netherlands, and Yen Voogt, from Vietnam, are available as a single, in a set of three, or a set of six. The face coverings also come in a host of colours and prints, and are made from a double layer of handwoven silk ethically sourced in Vietnam.
There are now a whole host of options for silk face masks, from lingerie brands to designer labels. Here is an edit of our favorites...
