Wearing a face mask is a necessity! Don’t take the risk with a this current raging pandemic of a highly infectious virus racing around the world. So folks, masks are here to stay for some time more till the battle with the virus is over.
An effective face mask should keep the virus to yourself, and protect others from you. But, we can all agree that they are uncomfortable. Despite the variety of new masks designs recently, the disposable surgical mask is still the most used but they are not comfortable. Thus, here are a few ways to increase mask comfort.
Five Tips for a More Comfortable Mask Experience
1. Use a reusable face mask
An estimate by Oceans Asia states that 1.56 billion face masks have entered the oceans in 2020. By using a reusable mask, you can avoid contributing to the already high numbers. Moreover, at the same time, stay more comfortable. Reusable face masks are usually made out of cotton which is more breathable and rigid, preventing the dreaded mask in the mouth.

2. Use Mouth Guards
Another method is to use mouth guards. These are a cone-shaped device that sits between the mask and your mouth.

4. Moisturise Your Skin
Keep your skin hydrated and acne-free by lightly moisturising. Hydration and oil are separate issues. To keep your skin healthy and clean under the mask, you should keep it balanced and hydrated. This will prevent further skin irritation and also acne.
