Wearing of face masks has been part of the culture for colder Asian countries like Korea, China and Japan. It has been a common sight long before the COVID-19 phenomenon. Face masks were worn for several reasons like avoiding wind burn, preventing the spread of the common cold or just for fashion’s sake.
With COVID-19 entering the country, Filipinos were quick to embrace the face mask culture. This facial gear helps protect people around you from droplets you might expel not just from coughing or sneezing, but also from talking or even merely breathing. This means that even people without symptoms present may still be at risk of spreading the coronavirus.
Although it could be quickly dismissed as a fashion-breaker, face masks are now seen as an exciting opportunity to experiment with outfits, much like how Korea, China and Japan do it. More than absolute protection, these face coverings could now be a means to express your personal style.
Medical and non-medical masks are expanding their options to accommodate fashion-forward consumers. This means that with their newly added colors, it’s now easier for you to mix-and-match your OOTDs.
Ideally, face masks should be multi-layered and should include filters. Aside from medical masks like surgical masks and N95 respirators, washable face masks are also stepping up their game and including an option for their users to insert filters. This means that you can now protect yourself while saving a ton of money in the long-run, since you can wash and reuse them.
