What is the correct way to wear a mask

With the improvement of people's living standards, the means of going out has changed from bicycles to cars. As a result, car exhaust has increased, leading to environmental pollution. Moreover, people dare not go out without wearing masks. There are many types of masks on the market, and different types of masks have different wearing methods. If the wearing method is not correct, it will affect the use of the mask. Here I will introduce three different ways to wear masks.

The correct way to wear a flat mask

Flat masks, also known as strap-type masks, are mainly used in the medical and health industry, such as medical surgical masks. The correct way to wear a flat mask is as follows:

1. The medical surgical mask has two sides, white and blue. Place the white side inward and the side with the metal strip upward. First, tie the two lower straps behind the neck and tighten them so that the bottom of the mask reaches the base of the chin.

2. Pull up the upper edge of the mask to cover your mouth and nose. Pull the two upper straps behind your ears and tie them tightly on your head. Do not tie them on your ears.

3. Use the index fingers of both hands to press the metal wire at the root of the nose on the upper side of the mask to make it close to the skin of the nose, then gradually move the index fingers to both sides to make the entire mask close to the facial skin.

The correct way to wear a foldable mask

The foldable dust mask has a unique design shape, with a high-quality nose clip and headband to ensure a good fit with the face. The correct way to wear it is as follows:

1. Face the side of the folded dust mask without the nose clip, place the nose clip above the mask, hold the mask with your hands and fix it on your face, and press the mask against your chin.

2. Pull the upper headband over the top of your head and place it on top of your head.

3. Pull the lower headband over the top of your head and place it behind your neck, just below your ears.

4. Place the fingers of both hands in the middle of the metal nose clip, press inward while moving your fingertips to both sides along the nose clip until the nose clip is completely pressed into the shape of the bridge of the nose.

The correct way to wear a cup-shaped mask

The cup-shaped medical mask is the best airtight among the three types of dust masks currently available. Due to the concave and convex appearance design of the dust mask and the sealing pad on the bridge of the nose of the mask, it is more comfortable to wear while ensuring the airtightness of the dust mask.

1. Hold the medical mask in your hand with the nose clip at your fingertips and let the headband hang below your hand.

2. Make sure the mask supports your chin and covers your nose.

3. Use your hands to fix the position of the medical mask, place the upper headband above the ears, at a higher position behind the head, and the lower headband below the ears.

4. Place the fingertips of both hands on the metal nose clip, starting from the middle position, press the nose clip inward with your fingers, and move and press to both sides respectively to shape the nose clip according to the shape of the nose bridge.

Once we have learned the correct way to wear different masks, it will be very helpful for our physical health. I hope everyone can pay attention to these. Only with a good body can we work better for our family and career.
