5 Smart Ways To Choose A Mask


01
Type Of Facemask
Face masks can be split into two basic categories: disposable and reusable. Choosing a face mask that's reusable is, financially, logistically, and an environmentally friendlier option. Opt for a pure cotton mask to allow UR skin to breathe even when the mask is on. Ideally, masks should be made of tightly woven cotton instead of synthetic fabric, as they are more breathable and softer on UR skin.

02
Fabric
Fabrics with tighter weaves and thicker threads have been shown to block respiratory droplets more effectively than those with looser weaves and thinner threads. Masks with two or more layers of fabric are considered more effective than one layer masks. When choosing a face mask, opt for one that fits snugly over your mouth and nose. You don't want one that you'll have to touch repeatedly to adjust. It shouldn't feel uncomfortably tight, either. The mask should be breathable and easily washable.


03
Masks That Fit
Due to our anatomy and cheekbone structure, few masks like surgical masks leave some gaps that don't provide protection. If you are using an N95 mask, it may not be suitable for children as it is too big for their face. So the key is to make sure you are covering the nose and mouth without suffocating yourself.

04
Mask Etiquette
Don't contaminate your mask by touching it and avoid rubbing your chin against UR shoulder. The germs will end up on UR mask, which can make you more vulnerable to the virus or any infection. If you happen to sneeze, change your mask immediately as it has become damp or wet it can attract dust, debris and other unwanted contaminants to easy penetrate into the mask. As a precaution, always carry an extra mask with you, even if UR using a reusable mask.


05
Disposing Masks
Dispose one-time use masks after every use and avoid reusing them. Reusing invites skin rashes, breakouts, redness and unnecessary skin concerns. Its best to use cotton masks that can be washed or opt for bio degradable masks that don’t pollute our precious environment.
