5 Ways To Avoid Common Mask Mistakes
December 5th, 2024
As winter approaches, many are bracing for colder temperatures and the potential for increased respiratory illnesses. If you decide to wear a mask, avoid common mask mistakes to ensure maximum benefits with the following tips.
Learn how to wear a mask.
A common mistake is wearing the mask below your nose. Avoid this by fully covering your mouth and nose. The mask should rest on the bridge or midpoint of your nose, covering your mouth and chin from there.
Remember to keep your mask on and don’t wear it under your chin, exposing your nose and mouth.
Find the proper fit.
It’s easy to avoid common mask mistakes, such as improper fit, with a mask like the original SHEM97 mask by HelmetFitting.com. Our mask comes in several sizes and styles, featuring adjustable straps. If you aren’t sure what size you need, check out our sizing guide blog for tips.
Practice good hand hygiene.
Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer before you put on a mask. Remember to keep your hands off the center of your mask while wearing it.
Avoid touching your face and then touching your mask or other objects, leading to cross-contamination.
Put the mask on and take it off correctly.
To clarify, touch the bands, ear straps or ties only when putting the mask on or off.
Properly care for your mask.
It is important to wash masks regularly, as they can harbor germs and bacteria. SHEMA97 masks require handwashing in warm water with a mild soap, rinse and air dry. This blog shares more details on how to wash and care for your SHEMA97.
Another part of properly caring for masks includes not sharing your mask with family and friends. Consider ordering our travel pack to have at least one extra available.
