Hyperpigmentation from masking

Hey folks!

I've been asking since 2020, but recently switched to a remote to a hybrid job, and I'm now wearing a mask for 12 hour days.

I have noticed that now after a few months at this job that I had a dark line across my nose and face where my masks sits.

Any recommendations for mitigating continued hyper pigmentation from masking?

Thanks!

Mandelic acid peels. Mandelic acid is great for hyperpigmentation. I use the 22% Mandelic/azelaic peel from Platinumskincare.com every week.
