DIY facial covering tips for a quality face mask
1. Opt for masks that tie around the ear, rather than ones that have a standard elastic band. The ties can be adjusted to fit each face better than the elastic band.
2. Make sure to use dry masks. When masks get wet, even from the moisture emitted when a person exhales, the fabric could be more likely to transmit..
3. Wash masks regularly, with regular detergent and in regular washing machine cycles. Instructions over here.
Segal suggested avoiding “bleach or other harsher chemicals until we know the effect on the fabric’s effectiveness.”
“The best masks were constructed of two layers of heavyweight “quilters cotton” with a thread count of at least 180, and had a thicker and tighter weave.” Segal said.

BENEFITS OF MULBERRY SILK:
Naturally hydrating-
Silk helps keep moisture close to your skin. The same way it helps your hair stay hydrated, it will also help your skin. This means it won’t absorb your skin’s natural moisture as many other fabrics do.
Breathable and temperature regulating-
Silk is a natural fibre and allows your skin to breathe, minimising irritation. This sensitive skin friendly fibre is also temperature regulating, ensuring you sleep comfortable all night long.
Naturally Hypoallergenic-
Mulberry silk is naturally hypoallergenic. It has a natural resistance to odour-causing bacteria, dust mites and mould, making it the perfect option for sensitive skins, asthma and allergy sufferers.
Mulberry silk is Soft, smooth, luxury-
Mulberry silk is renowned for being the highest quality silk on the market. The softness and smooth texture of the fibres makes it a dream to sleep on and worth the investment in this piece of luxury.
