Chic Masks, Fresh Sneakers & More Ideas For Spring
Kick start positive wellbeing vibes for the new season with these motivating suggestions
MATCH YOUR MASK TO YOUR OUTFIT
As we become more confident with the idea of not leaving the house without a face mask, consider the myriad re-usable styles from some of our local fashion designers.
Although many aren't medical grade, they are sufficient enough for general use to keep yourself and others safe.
It's a good idea to have at least two face masks — this way you'll have a fresh mask if one is in the wash, and they should be washed after every wear.
Because this piece of fabric is touching your face, think about using non-scented laundry detergent if you're sensitive to perfumes, and focus on washing detergents kinder to your mask and skin.
