It has been almost a year since the first Corona Virus (Covid-19) sighted in China, spread to the other countries in less than 6 months. To prevent the spread, a total lockdown happened that affected our lifestyles and taking it to a high new level. Precautions were taken, special places were considered where you can buy healthy and stylish face masks. But scientists believe that this incident should be considered as part of our life now until a functional vaccine is discovered.
We hear on the news about the effects of this virus, every day. Taking necessary cautions is recommended by governments and health institutions. You should not go outside, to the public without using a mask or a sterilizer.
There is a reason why hospitals and medical center wear masks and special outfits, to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. The question is that
“Does it really make a difference?”
Do face masks really make a difference?
Doctors, health centers, and many other scientists recommend using healthy face masks to prevent spreading such bad diseases especially Corona Virus. By using a face mask, no virus or germs can be released into the air while you cough, sneeze, or talk. I, myself, use face masks to protect my family because viruses easily spreads to many people.
For this reason, practitioners recommend using a healthy mask in the following proper way:
Effective Ways of Wearing a Face Mask
You must always remember –
(1) To wash your hands before using any type of mask (washable or non-washable)
(2) Don’t touch the surface of the mask. Only touch the bands to wear the mask
(3) Your mask must be a fit to your face so it can cover all of your mouth, nose, and the chin
(4) We have two types of masks, washable or non-washable. Related non-washables, you must dispose of them, immediately. On the other hand, you must wash those reusable masks immediately after use and not reuse them the next day.
In some parts of the world such as India, the government and police forces are taking serious actions to prevent the spread. Some people are getting charged for not using any kind of precaution. But despite all the warnings, some people just do not listen.
In the United Kingdom, the government has announced that use of face masks is mandatory when going out to public places since July 24th.
But I must admit things have been different since 6 months ago. This incident changed and affected everything. We don’t just wear face masks to accomplish our duties toward ourselves and other people, anymore. Face masks became part of our clothing.
We are searching for the ways through which we can match our face masks with the color and style of our outfit. The Fashion industry helped a lot to this end, especially during the coronavirus pandemic. We have seen investment and donation to hospitals, health centers, and government units, to meet the needs. This doesn’t end here. We now see large and reputable companies producing their own masks with their brand on them. We now see face masks that are designed not only for protecting the health and preventing the spread of the coronavirus but also to meet the needs of individuals in terms of fashion and comfort.
Just look at the Instagram photos from around the world and you will see what I am talking about. Who can say you cannot wear something to protect but also to look attractive? Take an example of Singapore. 6 brands have designed masks that you will even be eager to wear them at home (just search on the internet for the pictures of Masketeers, Sutajio, and Maskela masks to see what I am talking about). Face masks are not about protection anymore but they are about the looks.
Before we tell you about places where you can buy healthy and stylish face masks worldwide (not only local but also online stores), here are some of the things you should know about reusable washable face masks:
(1) Are you looking for the most comfortable face mask that you can carry it around? Face masks made of Cotton will be a good option
(2) If you look for a face mask to prevent you from taking respiratory droplets or particles larger than a virus capable of going through your body without being noticed, masks made of thicker material are recommended.
Where can I visit to buy healthy and stylish face masks?
The days that you were just using masks to protect yourself from the virus are over. Let’s be honest, face masks are now used as a part of being attractive and I am not talking about white and black masks. Nowadays, you can buy different types of masks in different colors, prints, beautiful and attractive designs in general.
We have companies that print painting, elegant yet fun prints on the masks. There are also lots of independent designers who are producing these types for people especially youngsters who are tired of their daily routine due to lock up and want to find new ways to have fun.

Reputable Companies to Visit for Buying Healthy and Stylish Face Masks
Here, we have provided you with the names of companies (based on the popularity order) from which you can buy pretty, stylish face masks and add them to your wardrobe in 2020:
(1) American e-Commerce Website: Etsy
Founded by John Silverman, this company started its business on June 18, 2005, on the production and sale of handmade or vintage items including clothing, toys, art, etc. However, they also recently added a great option in case you look for a mask with printed flowers, your own name and picture, and texts on it (of your choosing), this store will be your first choice.
Note (1): This online store is popular. So if you want to buy what you are looking for, I say you better hurry.
(2) Custom Ink
Different companies provide you with different types of face masks, varying from surgical masks and N95 masks to cloth masks with different colors and prints.
There is one independent company called “Custom Ink”. This U.S based company was used to produce customized t-shirts and sweatshirts. However, time changed and it added customized cloth face masks to the list.
Note (2). The reason behind the popularity of cloth face masks is due to being more effective than other types of masks in a way that it can reduce the Corona Virus spread if being used by many people around the world.
Note (3). The products of this company are not for clinical or surgical use.
(3) Arm The Animals Clothing
As the name says, this company produces some of the enjoyable clothing with animal pictures printed on them. Especially kids would enjoy some of the products with a tiger, cat, or dog face. Like all the other companies, you also have the ability to customize your own cloth.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, of course, this company turns into the production of face masks with the same options as their clothing to not only help those in need but also enjoy their time during the lockdown. ATA has also been considered as one of companies that donated a large number of masks to the workers, nurses, employees at the California hospitals, and medical facilities.
(4) Ready to have fun during the lockdown: Here Comes The Walt Disney
We all saw the Disney movies (e.g., Lion King, Mulan, Beauty and the Beast, and all the other memorable ones), enjoyed them a lot. Who thought that this company will come to help people in need by producing fun masks? Now, this company has a whole list of products with The Avengers and Baby Yoda masks available to sell. They don’t stop there. Every profit they earn is donated to the MedShare, an organization charged with the distribution of excess medical supplies recovered from U.S. countries to those hospitals in need.
Conclusion
Unfortunately, the COVID-19 virus has become part of our life, an inevitable thing that no one can avoid anymore. However, some protection can be used to prevent the more spread of the virus e.g., face masks, sterilizers, and shields. However, no one said that this cannot be a fun thing.
Due to the lockdown, many teenagers and their families had to spend their time in their homes. Taking advantage of this, many companies such as Arm the Animals Clothing, The Walt Disney, Custom Ink, and many others developed some fun and attractive masks to not only attract people to buy them but also help to prevent the virus spread.
I hope you enjoyed reading.
Have a safe and blessed day!

says:Face masks have indeed become a fashion accessory and whether we like wearing them or not, it has unfortunately become compulsory to wear them when you are out in public places. Disposal face masks are polluting our planet, so it is best to use a washable face covering, which can indeed be stylish, while also staying safe and healthy.

I like and agree on your concern for environment. Reusable and washable face masks are most recommended for everyone, except those working in the healthcare sector of course.
Thanks for dropping by and for sharing your thoughts.
God bless and stay safe,

says:I feel you Misael… It is really annoying to wear mask, especially when one has flat nose like me… hehehe.. my cheeks are level with the tip of my nose, so that the masks I wear often cover half of my eyes. I wish I could custom-make my own masks to suit my nose and face..haha.. But I’m thankful that we can always buy online from these nice companies for any type of face masks that suit us.
Thanks for sharing you thoughts here.
God bless you and stay safe,
