With Singapore experiencing hot weather all year round, wearing a face mask can be uncomfortable. Here are some tips to help make wearing mask more comfortable.
1. Limit your time wearing a mask
2. Use a mask made of a breathable material

|
- Choose the right material or fabric for your mask.
- A lightweight, light-coloured and breathable material such as cotton will allow for better flow of air

3. Have more than one mask
|
|
- To stay cool and dry, bring along an extra mask to change, especially if you will be out in public for a long period of time. Tip: store your masks in a clean container.
- Throw away your mask if it gets damp and sweaty.
- A wet mask provides less protection against germs compared to a dry one.
