Like it or not, face masks are here to stay – at least for a long time coming. And really, would you ever want to be on a packed rush-hour tube without one again? Exactly. The thought of a stranger’s face being inches away makes us queasy… So, it’s of high importance that you find a face mask that fits well, while remaining comfortable, and silk face masks fit the bill.
Forget what you thought you knew: not all face masks are created equal. In fact, a recent study showed that stretchy fleece neck gaiters made of nylon and polyester are seriously ineffective when it comes to preventing the spread of Coronavirus, while cotton and silk face masks are much, much better. Why? The high-thread-count boasted by natural silk fabrics can effectively filter out virus particles when worn correctly (that is: without any gaping spaces around your nose, chin or cheeks).
And functionality is not the only benefit to silk face masks. They’re good for your skin, too. Not only do they feel great, but silk lowers the chances of maskne (acne, spots and congestion on the lower half of the face caused by wearing a normal fabric face mask) because its breathable and causes less friction. The more friction, the more you risk minor skin damage that contributes to the build up of congested skin. See the hype now? Okay, good.
