The Correct Way To Use Non-woven Masks in Summer

choose medical masks that meet national standards (such as YY/T 0969-2013), and avoid materials that are too thick or non-breathable.Three-layer structure is essential: ensure that the outer layer of the mask is waterproof, the middle layer is filtering, and the inner layer is moisture-absorbing. Avoid using low-quality single-layer non-woven masks.

Completely cover the mouth and nose: When wearing the mask, it should completely cover the mouth, nose and chin, and gently press the nose clip to make it fit the face to avoid air leakage.
Avoid frequent wearing and removing: If you pull down the mask repeatedly due to stuffiness, it may contaminate the inner layer and reduce the protective effect.
Do not wear a double-layer mask: In the high temperature of summer, stacking masks will increase the stuffiness and may affect breathability.

Replace immediately after sweating or getting wet: In summer, sweat can easily soak the inner layer of the mask, resulting in reduced filtration efficiency. You need to replace the mask with a new one in time (generally recommended every 4 hours)

Prevent heat stroke: When wearing a mask for a long time, pay attention to replenishing water and avoid high-intensity exercise.
Do not use masks instead of sunscreen: Masks cannot block ultraviolet rays, and you still need to apply sunscreen or wear a sun hat.
Properly handle discarded masks: Discard used masks into a dedicated trash can to avoid randomly discarding and polluting the environment.
