CAN I USE FACE MASK EVERY DAY? (Experts Opinions)

Wearing a face mask today in the public is the new normal. It wasn’t the same
before the pandemic. The COVID-19 Pandemic has undoubtedly changed our
lives in many ways. One such visible change has been the widespread use of
face masks. 

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of masks was primarily limited to certain professionals and situations. Healthcare professionals have long worn masks to protect themselves and their patients from the spread of infectious diseases.

While in some countries during high pollution periods, people adopted the use of
masks or during outbreaks of infectious diseases in the past such as SARS or
H1N1. Other than that for the most part masks were not a regular wearable item
for the general population.

But today, most of us are wearing a mask every day. Be it us going out for
running errands, at work, or even at home. But the question arises can I use face masks every day? We have explained all the details that you are looking for and how has this changed the course of mask usage in our daily lives?

TYPES OF FACE MASKS

With the pandemic, face masks became a ubiquitous part of our daily lives.
Widely recommended by professionals to prevent the spread of the virus. With
the fear of the spread and any new variant that might pop up unannounced,
many wonder if it is safe to wear face masks every day.

The short answer to the question is yes, it is generally safe to use a face mask
every day, as long as we follow certain guidelines and choose the right quality of
fabric to use on a daily basis.

Firstly choosing the right type of mask is important, not all are made equally and
some are more effective in stopping the droplets than others. The most effective
type of mask is the one made of multiple layers of tightly woven fabric, such as
cotton or polyester blends. 

Once you have established the quality the next thing is to find the mask that fits
properly. A poorly fitted mask can leave gaps around the edges which will
eventually allow the respiratory droplets to escape and potentially spread the
virus. Also one must consider the Comfort ability of the product around their face
when wearing. You need to ensure that there are tightening loops or ties
necessary for the fitting.

Lastly, you should consider the hygiene of your mask. If used regularly you
should ensure to wash it regularly, to remove the dirt, oil, or other foreign
particles. Therefore, a mask that is machine friendly is a good option to choose.
Keeping the points discussed in mind, it is important to be mindful of prolonged
mask use.

Wearing it for an extended period could lead to skin irritation,
particularly around the ear and nose. So be thought full of the material around
your ears, something that is soft is good.

Don’t forget to take breaks in between, this will reduce your chance of irritation
and will also refresh you with fresh air.
