In response to the unprecedented skincare challenges brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, The New Age Spa Institute proudly presented an innovative online course titled “Maskne Management: Innovative Strategies for Beauty & Personal Care Professionals,” led by Bianca Rojas, a distinguished CIDESCO Diplomate and Esthetics Educator, and introduced by Lydia Sarfati CIDESCO USA President, This course forming a part of our internationally acclaimed CIDESCO accredited programs, was specially designed to address the emerging issue of maskne, a term coined to describe acne caused by regular mask usage. As the world grappled with the necessity of masks to curb the spread of Covid-19, this CIDESCO class aimed to equip beauty and spa professionals with essential knowledge and skills to manage this new skincare challenge effectively. It provided an in-depth analysis of acne mechanica, the science behind maskne, and discussed the mechanisms through which it affects skin health, including the three primary causes: rubbing, irritation, and occlusion.
This innovative online series proved to be a vital resource for estheticians, skincare professionals, and spa therapists. It underscored the New Age Spa Institute’s commitment to providing cutting-edge education and training, ensuring that professionals in the beauty industry remain at the forefront of knowledge and practice. As the beauty and personal care industry continues to navigate through these unprecedented times, courses like these play a pivotal role in empowering professionals to meet their clients’ evolving needs effectively and confidently. The Maskne Management course was not just a response to a temporary challenge but a step towards fostering a more knowledgeable, adaptable, and resilient skincare community.
