Face mask tips to remember

• Cotton face mask options may be the most comfortable and easiest to fold up and carry around, and they’re machine washable.

• Some masks have pouches where you can add extra filter material.
• Masks that use thicker material and designs with more layers might trap larger viral particles and respiratory droplets you accidentally eject through talking, coughing or sneezing, but they may also be warmer to wear.

• Pay attention to the straps and nose — do they have adjustable ear loops? If you need to wear the mask all day, could the design such as the elastic ear loops rub your ears and skin? Here are ways to make your face mask more comfortable to wear.
• You’re buying a washable face mask, so wash the mask before putting it on. It’s also recommended to wash between wearings.

• The mask should cover your nose and chin without creating gaps.
