Wearing a mask for many hours can increase your chances for infection and irritation, creating a favorable environment for yeast.
To avoid any facial irritation, dermatologist Dr. Peterson Pierre said it’s helpful to take breaks whenever you wear a mask.
“The more breaks you can give yourself from wearing a mask, the better,” he told HuffPost. “You will decrease heat, sweating, humidity, irritation, while also improving airflow, all of which should decrease your infection risk.”
July 2nd is the anniversary of my dear friend of 32 years Lee Iacocca’s passing. He is missed and beloved. It was a privilege to know him, experience his sharp wit, wisdom and great sense of humor, but most of all his humanity. He was my mentor which is a badge of honor for me. May he R.I.P. knowing he left such a positive imprint on the world. His memory will live on.

What to know: “Hawaii Five-0” actress Michelle Borth shared in a new interview with People that she has a history of self-harm and suicidal ideation. Borth said she worked through her mental health issues thanks to treatment, but she struggled with the scars that reminded her of her past.
It really does have an effect on you. You get a look. I always felt that it was a look of someone feeling bad for me, of someone feeling sorry for me. Or sometimes nasty looks of someone judging me. — Michelle Borth
Eventually, Borth showed Dr. Alexander Rivkin her scars. A cosmetic doctor who specializes in non-surgical treatments, Rivkin experimented with injections. By filling in the areas around her raised scars, he was able to make them almost disappear. Rivkin said he can use steroid injections to flatten the look of raised scars and lasers to reduce the redness of scars with his treatment.
Quarantine seems to have done Maria Shriver some good! The journalist, 64, was recently spotted looking spectacularly well rested stepping out as lockdown restrictions eased in California. But some suspect the mom of four’s newly smooth face may be due to something other than time out of the spotlight.
“In addition to Botox and filler, you can see the texture of her skin is a lot better,” notes Dr. Peterson Pierre, board-certified dermatologist and founder of Pierre Skin Care Institute in Thousand Oaks. (Pierre does not treat Maria).
“She’s probably had laser resurfacing and skin-tightening procedures.” Maria, whose digital newsletter, Maria Shriver’s Sunday Paper, has been highlighting the work of helpers during the pandemic, might want to extend the treatments to her neck and decolletage, adds Pierre, “so the contrast is less apparent.”
