What are the methods for wearing masks

We always have to wear masks in our daily lives, whether it is to prevent epidemics or in smog weather. Although wearing a mask sounds simple, few people really wear it correctly. Whether we wear a mask correctly is directly related to the effectiveness of our prevention of colds or smog. Therefore, the method of wearing a mask must be correct in normal times. Let us learn how to wear a mask correctly.

1. Let’s first understand the mask. Whether it is a disposable mask or other masks, they all have a front and back. For disposable masks, the darker color is the front, which faces outwards. Look at the picture below. The area circled in red contains the metal strip for the nose clip.

2. The back of the disposable mask is lighter in color and faces inward, which means that the lighter side is close to our face. In addition, please note that the end with the metal strip is the top of the mask, so do not wear it upside down.

3. After distinguishing the front, back, top and bottom of the mask, you are not far from knowing how to wear the mask correctly. Wash your hands, make sure the light-colored side of the mask is facing inwards (the back), the end with the metal strip is facing upwards (the top), and hang the ropes at both ends on your ears.

4. You need to use both hands to press the metal strips on both sides of the nose bridge so that the upper end of the mask fits closely to the nose bridge. Then stretch the mask downwards so that there are no wrinkles on the mask and it can better cover the nose and mouth.

Through the above introduction, we have learned how to wear a mask. The correct method plays a decisive role in preventing various diseases or preventing haze. When we wear masks in our daily lives, we must pay attention that disposable masks cannot be worn repeatedly. When wearing masks, we must wash our hands frequently and not touch the mask with our hands.
