Maskne is something we would have loved to leave in 2020, but alas, the pandemic is still going, and mask-wearing is just as important as ever. Thankfully, though, Chrissy Teigen just shared a genius hack that is about to save us all from those frustrating under-the-mask breakouts—and we’re wondering why we hadn’t thought of this before.
