How to wear a face covering?

Wearing a face mask or surgical masks will not stop or prevent you from contracting viruses or from breathing in air pollutants, however they can help to prevent transmission by reducing the spread of air particles and water vapour which we release from talking, coughing and sneezing.

In order to get the most out of your face mask, it is recommended you wear these at all times when exposed to any foreign bodies outside of your normal home environment or when you are in close proximity to other people in enclosed spaces. We advise to continue to check and follow the latest Government guidance on wearing face masks and coverings.

To apply a face mask or covering, take the loops from your mask and hook these over the back of your ears, ensuring the fabric is covering both your nose and mouth. It is essential your face mask fits close to your face to reduce any chance of vapour or particles entering or escaping the enclosing to offer you the highest level of protection. For further information on how to wear your face mask, check your mask packaging.

All of our fabric face masks are made from three layers of skin-friendly fabric to cover the nose and mouth, featuring elasticated ear loops for optimal comfort. Our surgical masks also have a Bacterial Filtration Efficiency of 95%-98% with 3-ply filtration.

On top of wearing a face mask it is always important to ensure you maintain clean hands. For easy hand cleansing on the go, always carry hand gel and hand wipes.
