I also suffered from skin problems with my mast over the past 6 years.
I have red hair, fair skin and a sensitive skin (english rose).
Over the years I became more lax at washing my mask and tubing and gave up using any type of detergent at all. Just hot water. If you clean with anything other than hot wayer whatever you use on there builds up on the masks surface and leads to skin irritation in the end.
Some times I dont was my mask piece for 2 or 3 weeks. My facial oils, act as a barrier to skin irritation on my mask.
It works for me. You can be too cautios and clean sometimes.
Good luck
