There are of course lots of things to consider when buying a face mask. Is it comfortable to wear? Do you feel able to breath freely when wearing it? Is the mask material right for sensitive skin? Can it be popped in the washing machine after use? And perhaps more trivially, does it look good?
Our edit of the best reusable face masks ticks all those boxes and more.
As 2020 has rolled on, face masks have evolved. Gone are the days when wearing one meant looking like an off-duty health professional. And they don't need to be bland or plain black either. Pretty, reusable face masks now come in an array of colours and prints, with retailers big and small creating new designs almost daily.
Just be aware that these reusable face masks are non-medical, so are not guaranteed to stop coronavirus and are not suitable for environments where medical-grade PPE is required.
