I have never had much of skin problems but I recently developed these almost invisible bumps on both sides of my cheek and nose. They are not visible unless am under bright light. I don't use much products either. It's been bothering me and I haven't been able to find an answer. Any leads?

Just an initial thought...could it be from wearing a mask?

This was also my initial thought. I keep hearing people talk about breakouts due to masks.

How does it bother you? Is it like an itching sensation, does it feel like an acne breakout, or something else?

Fortunately my skin isn't prone to acne and it's always been good to me. Even this there is No irritation or itching as such but I do get tiny breakouts around the chin from time to time... It's made my skin looks bumpy and it is very obvious under direct light.

What kind of mask are you wearing, and for how long? As well, what is your cleansing regimenetc?

I have used all types of masks and wasn't picky as I din know it was going to bite back like this :(. I use them everyday but for a short period of time mostly before and after workout session.

I do not use any kind of make up so I always kept my routine very simple.I use a gentle soap to my face followed bymustela moisturiser. Very recently I have started using Hyaluron-Filler Moisture Booster also into the routine.

There is purely speculation, but perhaps it has to do with sweating and putting on a mask? Your sweat could be getting onto the mask and creating a nice environment for something to irritate your skin. How frequently do you wash your mask/use a new mask?

When you introduce a new product, sometimes the skin can have a bad reaction; however, I wouldn't blame this product. One thing that I notice is that if a product is going to cause a breakout or irritation it usually occurs either throughout the entire face or in areas like the forehead.

If all else fails you may want to consider removing theHyaluron-Filler Moisture Booster moisturizer for a while and seeing if its absence makes a difference.

I hope you/we can figure this out!

I do sweat a lot after work out..I use a cloth mask and i change my mask everyday. I don't reuse it until I wash it.

The booster serum is something I incorporated after i started to notice these bumps.i use it after using my face wash to keep my skin hydrated.I have been only using it for a week now.

Hmm... truthfully, I'm not sure what may be causing it. Do you have an AM and PM routine for your face?
