As the Coronavirus continues to spread across the world and as businesses open, second-wave seems imminent unless we are able to put a mask on. Until an efficient vaccination/cure is announced, everyone is recommended to wear a mask in the public, and that is why it's important to have a mask that GOES BEYOND maximizing your protection from droplets & viruses but also protects your head & skin.
Light Mask Perfect for Summer Heat
As the temperature continues to rise, it is becoming unbearable for staff to work with a mask on. For those that have been wearing masks for a long period of time or have been working under the sun in the past months probably noticed increased acne breakouts & skin rashes. It’s not surprising, and here's why:
1. Bacteria LOVES Moist -Traditional masks lack air ventilation and trap heat, moisture, & acne-causing bacteria inside the fabric, leading to clogged pores, breakouts & skin inflammations.
2. Not Cleaning Your Mask Everyday - Most do not wash their masks on a daily basis, and when the fabric is not treated, the bacteria you breathe out naturally & from the outside world pile onto your mask and grow unnoticed. Just imagine your shirts & underwear not washed and being worn again and again... This is why it is absolutely important to choose the antimicrobial treated fabric (on both sides ) to inactivate 99.9 of & bacteria & viruses on contact. It is also important to use antibacterial wipes to clean the surface in-between uses to keep the fabric fresh.
3. Low Air Permeability / High Temperature - When the temperatures climb and you spend hours a day in a mask, it’s going to be hot. Traditional masks increase sweat and low air permeability doesn't give the skin a to breathe; therefore, it is only natural for the skin to react negatively with acne & rashes.
Water Repellant Mask Stop Odor-Causing Bacteria in Its Tracks
If you wear traditional masks for several hours because of work or summer outing, you’ll notice it’s not the most pleasant-smelling fashion accessory. Standard masks soak up sweat and bodily fluids and give off a foul odor.
The Protection Your Need, The Comfort Your Deserve
Mask Guard is a water repellent & antimicrobial light mask that doesn’t soak up the sweat. Since some odor is caused by bacteria and our high-performance treated fabric kills the bacteria and thus the odor. It’s a double ultra-thin layer of protection that can’t be beaten.
