Dealing with unwanted acne breakouts thanks to the daily wearing of face masks? Or have you gone completely make-up free? We take a look at some of the changes face masks have brought to your bathroom and your makeup bag
Face masks have now been made mandatory in enclosed spaces in many countries worldwide. They must even be worn outdoors in cities that are particularly affected by coronavirus infections. Mask-wearing has shaken up many aspects of our daily lives, right down to our beauty regimes.
From makeup to facial care and product textures, not to mention acne-zapping products, here's a look at some of the changes face masks are bringing to your bathroom and your makeup bag, all in spite of the latest trends.
No makeup: from dream to reality

A global trend that has visibly transcended borders given the proliferation of hashtags like "#nomakeup," "#nomakeupday," "#nomakeupchallenge" or "#nomakeupselfie" that have swamped social media this year, all accompanied by pictures showing the world that self-acceptance is today more than just a theory.
