Fashionable & reusable
Wearing face masks is becoming part of everyday life these days and is likely to be with us for a while yet! Maybe you've been thinking of getting a new reusable and washable cloth face mask. There are so many options available, so why not look good and protect yourself (and others) at the same time!
When choosing a face mask, think about...
- choosing a comfortable fit will reduce the number of times you touch your face, so get one that will fit you.
- choosing a face mask with a replaceable filter can increase your protection in higher-risk settings. -
- importantly, choose a face mask that allows your personality to shine through!
