  1. Things To Consider When Picking A Protective Face Mask While we wait for the COVID-19 vaccine, the only best way to keep ourselves and the people around us safe is by wearing masks, washing our hands, and maintaining physical distancing. You can also take advantage of modern healthcare podcast offered by Get Healthy 360, to learn effective ways to tackle these issues and other health problems. Surely, everyone is waiting for the pandemic to end and go back to our old ways of life, where we can live our lives without worrying about getting infected or infecting others around us. However, before this happens we all an important part to play as an individual: follow the safety measures and guidelines.

  2. A protective face mask is our weapon against the virus right now. This is why it’s important that you are wearing the right mask at all times. Here are four points to consider when choosing a mask: Best fitting:You don’t want your mask to be too loose or too tight. The mask should fit snuggly around your face without falling off or constricting onto your face. The mask should also be simple and easy to use. Breathability: You want to go for multi-layered tight woven cotton masks, cotton- polyester liner, or blends masks. These types of masks are comfortable and are effective at filtering and preventing particles. Moisture-wicking: To avoid sweat stains, breakouts, and discomfort look for a moisture- wicking mask made of soft stretchy fabrics, such as polyester or spandex. This material helps pull the moisture away from your skin, keeping you cooler and comfortable. Long-term use: You also want to look for masks that are washable and retain their shape even after washing. Things to avoid Some masks can harm you instead of protecting you. It’s important that you avoid them. 1.Do not go for masks made out of fleece. As fleece does not provide filtration as much as other multi-layered masks. 2.Don’t replace your mask with neck gaiters. Since they are made from thinner material, neck gaiters are ineffective in providing protection. The over stretchy materials also do not help in trapping droplets. Hence making you uncomfortable.
