Wearing a mask in a wrong way can be harmful

Wearing a mask in the wrong way can be harmful to you and many people do not know the right way to use it. Because of this, their lives may be in danger. Before wearing a mask you have to follow some rules. They are:

• Clean your face before wearing a mask: Always clean your face, before wearing a mask. After cleansing the face, apply a good quality moisturizer. After applying moisturizer, clean your hands thoroughly and apply a mask on your face. Applying moisturizer reduces the risk of allergies. 
• Wear less makeup: Many people wear masks after makeup which is wrong. Try no makeup while wearing a mask because after wearing a mask your makeup may go into your mouth which is a higher risk. So, avoid makeup.
• Use good quality cloth masks: There are many types of masks available in the market but buy masks which are only made of cotton cloth.

• Do not wear it for too long: Do not wear the mask for long and keep removing it from time to time in an empty space. 
• Wash or clean your mask after use: After coming home from outside, clean your mask with soap and dry it in the sun. After cleaning only you have to use the mask, because the dirt and other particles on the mask are cleaned.
• Clean your face after using the mask: After removing the mask, wash your face with a cleanser or face wash. After that apply a mild moisturizer on the face. And also wash your hands.
• Keep these in mind: Do not use others’ masks or do not give your mask to others. Do not wear a mask while doing exercise or on a morning walk.
