Hypoallergenic Mask Slips for Eczema/Acne patients
The prolonged use of surgical masks can lead to skin rashes and worsening of existing skin problems. This is because polyester which is the material for mask does not allow the skin to breathe. Dr.TWL Pharmacy provides a mask slip from a sustainable plant silk – Lyosilk™ to help form a breathable hypoallergenic layer between your skin and the mask.
