Almost every researcher, Doctor, and recent studies have accepted that wearing a face mask can help reduce the chances of contracting the coronavirus. We all have been following the advice to wear a mask when going out. But, most of us have faced many skin irritations and conditions due to wearing a face mask. The skin’s deteriorated condition was detected in 2020 when it was concluded that face masks cause Maskne. Wearing face masks for long hours causes skin irritations, acne, produces more oil around the face and mouth, and can also dry your skin.

WHAT IS MASKNE?
Wearing a mask regularly can have negative effects on our face’s skin. Maskne is Mask +Acne. The term Maskne has gained so much popularity on social media when many people started to have acne breakouts, irritations, and rashes all over their faces. These skin problems were caused because of the mask that we normally wear. Normal masks which are single-use surgical masks and N95 masks are made from polypropylene, this plastic material holds heat, humidity, and sweat under the mask which causes bacteria, yeast, and other germs that are responsible for pimples and acne around the face and mouth. For people who are already facing many skin issues, Maskne worsens the situation further for them. As wearing a mask is an important part of our daily routine, we can’t avoid it and also can’t take the risk of not wearing a mask when going outside.

So, what is the solution to prevent Maskne?
As we have to wear face masks for the time being. We can’t risk ourselves taking off the mask. The only solution to this problem is to wear the new type of mask that doesn't cause Maskne. ADIYA pharma uses non-woven fabric in the mask that is unique, high-tech, engineered fabrics made from fibers that can reduce the Maskne and is not harmful to your skin.

ADIYA pharma masks are safe and provide protection from any bacteria and viruses.
Non-woven fabric face masks are more effective at blocking the spread of COVID-19 and reduces the accumulation of any bacteria under the face mask.
ADIYA pharma’s non-woven masks provide high filtration efficiency, which traps many harmful particles and bacteria in the filter and also makes breathing easier than regular masks.
Common face masks which are disposable trap moisture, sebum, sweat which clogs pores and produces acne.
Non-woven face masks provide better filtration and are lightweight than other surgical masks. Non-woven face masks are safe to use and reduce the chances of Maskne or any other skin condition or disease caused by wearing a mask.
Also, an ill-fitted mask will not protect you from viruses. That’s why we use a Fabric elastic earloop in our masks that do not discomfort you or create pain around your ears and are more comfortable than other surgical masks.
In this pandemic, it's important to choose and wear a mask that’s comfortable and provides you complete protection from the virus and any other skin conditions. ADIYA pharma produces spunbond/spunmelt Non-woven fabrics that are mainly used for Face Mask, Medical gown, and Wipes. This non-woven fabric feels comfortable and silky on the face and skin and protects from catching the virus and causing Maskne.

“These face masks are the most important, powerful public health tool we have,” CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield said.

If you have received or are planning to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, you may think you are now free from social distancing practices, including wearing a face mask in public. Unfortunately, this notion could not be further from the truth.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, scientists have yet to learn the scope of protection that this vaccine truly provides. While the vaccine has shown promise in preventing adverse symptoms from the virus, experts do not have evidence that the vaccine can stop its recipients from spreading the disease to others. Thus, the CDC will not lift social distancing guidelines until our population has achieved herd immunity from the vaccine and from previously contracting the disease.

Currently, experts do not know what percentage of the population needs to get vaccinated to attain herd immunity, but this process could take months or even years.

While the vaccine serves as an effective tool to contain this life-threatening disease, it is only one part of a comprehensive set of practices to prevent its spread. Wearing a face mask in public, and following all additional protocols, will still be critical for the months to come.

Most importantly, in the fight against this pandemic, it is crucial to wear a face mask that offers superior protection for yourselves and your families.

People are sick of masks. With cases and deaths surging throughout the U.S., the people who are treating COVID-19 patients really want you to continue to wear a mask, keep your distance and wash your hands, even if you've been vaccinated, until the research on shedding has yielded some answers.

3-ply and N-95 face masks have been tested to achieve a Bacterial Filtration Efficiency of ≥ 96%. In order to determine the level of protection that a mask can give, organizations like Nelson Labs perform two tests, known as Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) and Differential Pressure (Delta P) tests. A BFE test determines the percentage of particles that are filtered out from a tested product by comparing the bacterial control counts upstream and downstream of the given product. A Delta P test determines the breathability that a mask presents by using a manometer to measure the differential pressure on either side of the product.

When choosing personal protective equipment to keep your families safe, selecting a face mask that has been tested and has met the aforementioned standards may be your best line of defense.

Face Covers are an essential in this period of the Covid-19 pandemic, a protective mask has become a common object of use to contain virus transmission. Masks with elastic loops are the ones most common.

Masks are an essential part of protecting yourself and others from coronavirus, but that doesn't make them any easier to wear. Now many of us are dealing with an unfortunate side effect: discomfort on our ears.

The elastic loop that wraps around the ears put pressure on those ears, pulling against them. Those loops that keep your face mask in place can put a lot of pressure on your ears and aggravate your skin, but there are a few ways to prevent that…

As we're wearing masks out in public on a regular basis, we're quickly realizing that they can be uncomfortable.

These elastics cause constant compression on the skin and, consequently, on the cartilage of the auricle, leading to painful lesions of the retroarticular skin when the masks are used for many hours a day.

Children have undeveloped auricular cartilage with less resistance to deformation; prolonged pressure from the elastic loops of the mask at the hollow or, even worse, at the antihelix level can influence the correct growth and angulation of the outer ear.

Preventing ear irritation while wearing a face mask can be challenging, but it's not impossible.

Nonwoven fibers are gentler on the skin than synthetics twist yarn. Some face masks have flexible fabric that is much more comfortable than ear loop is found on most masks. If you’re going to be wearing your mask for an extended period of time, these are much easier on your ears than ear loop.

If the pressure of wearing a face mask hurts your ears, there are a few innovative products (Fabric elastic ear loop) to help ease discomfort.

Alternative to the ear loop face mask is the elastic fabric face mask, due to area pressure behind the ear is distribute, and more comfortable to ware with no pain on era.

Many scientific societies of pediatrics and pedagogy have raised doubts about the risks that this situation of forced constriction by Covid-19 can cause on the normal psychophysical development of children; however, it has never been pointed out how the use of surgical masks with ear loops can be harmful to the correct development of the auricle by permanently modifying the cartilage of the concha in growing children.

We are confident that highlighting this potential complication to those involved in the procurement of masks will stimulate the search for alternative solutions, while maintaining the possibility of legitimate prevention of the potential spread of the virus.

Choosing the best mask to protect you and others, according to new CDC guidelines.
