At What Age Can Girls Use a Face Mask?

Published in Skincare & Safety 1 min read

While there is no specific age limit for girls to start using face masks, there are some important factors to consider.

For skincare purposes:

  • 10 years old and up: It's generally considered safe for girls this age to use face masks, but moderation and careful usage are recommended.
  • Sensitivity: Remember that children's skin is sensitive and needs gentle care. Start with mild, non-irritating products designed for sensitive skin.
  • Purpose: Use face masks for specific needs, like hydration, exfoliation, or addressing occasional breakouts, rather than as a daily routine.

For safety purposes (like face masks during a pandemic):

  • Under 2 years old: Face masks should not be worn by children under two years old due to the risk of suffocation.
  • 2 years old and up: Face masks are encouraged for vaccinated and unvaccinated children in situations with potential exposure to respiratory illnesses.

Remember that it's always best to consult with a pediatrician or dermatologist before introducing any new skincare products, including face masks, to a child's routine.
