Face masks have become a requirement when spending time outside and in order to enjoy the amazing weather, you can’t leave your house without a face mask. But, one side effect that comes with wearing face masks that we didn’t see coming are the tan lines. If you’re worried about tan lines, here’s how to prevent them or correct them if you already see them.

Wear Sunscreen on Your Face

It’s essential to wear sunscreen on all parts of your face, including underneath your mask. Under a mask, the best sunscreen is a stick or quick-dry spray because it won’t rub off.

Have you ever tried a sunscreen that was specifically designed for your face? What were your thoughts? was it heavy? greasy? white? Last month #Beautycounter released their everyday facial sunscreen. It QUICKLY sold out so it’s taken me a while to get my own. I ordered it last week and yesterday was my first time trying it. YOU GUYS…ah…maze…ing!!!! I am seriously so excited about this product. It is incredibly lightweight, NOT greasy, and doesn’t leave a white film. I didn’t even feel or look like I was wearing sunscreen. This can be used alone or after moisturizer. I even applied it under my Skin Twin Foundation and you still couldn’t tell I was wearing sunscreen! You will not be disappointed while you protect your skin this summer. You do not need to compromise for protection from the sun. On my website it is called Countersun Daily Sheer Defense for Face – spf 25

Use Accessories to Protect Your Skin

To avoid the mask tan, add oversized sunglasses and a hat to protect and cover more of your face.

Use Self-Tanner

If you already have tan lines from your mask, even out your skin tone apply some self-tanner. You can even out your tan lines by applying a daily scrub to keep your skin hydrated and exfoliated.

Here’s my trick to making it look like a spend every day by the pool: @beautybyearth I’ve been testing out the #beautybyearth self tanner and I’m really impressed. This self tanner feels like a moisturizer. It’s hydrating and smells delicious (like a sweet pastry/danish?). It’s doesn’t have a color to it but I didn’t have any issues applying this product. It left me looking naturally a shade tanner. This is the type of self tanner you want to use if you want to look subtly tanner over time. And it’s buildable. If you are new to self tanning and want to try something that’s relatively fool proof, I’d recommend this product. The tan is definitely subtle so if you happen to mess up, it won’t be so noticeable. This one did not leave any streaks and no orange hues! I actually find this moisturizer type of self tanner a little more user friendly than the IOP tanning water. I just apply this as a moisturizer after the shower and boom I’m done. No stickiness or transfer of product. Also, huge fan of their exfoliator and application kit (not pictured here). It made the whole process so easy and the applicator is soooo soft. Pictured here are my other self tanning essentials: dry brush mit, exfoliator, and lotion for dry spots like knees, elbows, hands, and feet. PR product
