Face Mask Tips <br />for the Hot Summer Months Covering your face with cloth can become <br />uncomfortable once hot weather sets in. Fortunately, there are tactics you can take <br />to protect yourself from COVID-19 <br />and not feel discomfort. Health experts tell 'The Philadelphia Inquirer' you should use material that is 100 percent cotton fabric. Heat can be closed off by fabrics such as polyester, <br />leading to sweat building up faster on one's face. Closed off heat and sweat can irritate your skin, <br />so be sure to use moisturizer on affected spots. Instead of elastic straps, use masks <br />with ties that allow you to adjust it. Straps can also cause <br />discomfort for your ears. You can also carry around <br />multiple masks when you go outside for a long time. When your first mask becomes damp from <br />face sweat, you'll have another one as a backup.
