The best materials for face masks
When choosing the right material for face coverings there are a few things to keep in mind: Two layers of fabric are better than one. Make sure your mask has a snug fit and that you can breathe easily through the layers. The best fabrics to use, from most to least effective:
• Cotton (600 count)
• Cotton + flannel or silk
• Chiffon
• Silk
• Flannel
• Quilter’s cotton (80 count)
