\"art-358-01\"<\/a>Ideally, a fabric face mask should have three layers; an outer layer, an inner layer and middle layer<\/em><\/p>\n

These days, it is not common to see more people opting to wear fabric mask with colourful patterns and designs.<\/p>\n

Unlike surgical mask which must be thrown away after use and replaced daily, a fabric face masks need to be washed with warm water after every use.<\/p>\n

For those who decided to make their own fabric face mask, the World Health Organization (WHO) released a video recommending the suitable material and composition.<\/p>\n

A fabric mask should have at least three layers; an outer layer, an inner layer and middle layer.<\/p>\n

The inner layer can be an insert or another fabric layer.<\/p>\n

The inner layer which comes in contact with your face should be of hydrophilic material such as cotton. This material can easily absorb droplets from your exhaled breath.<\/p>\n

For hydrophilic material, it is important to select a lighter colour such as white which can help determine when it is soiled or wet.<\/p>\n

The middle layer which act as a filter should go into a pocket between the inner layer and the outer layer.<\/p>\n

Ideally, the material used for the middle layer should be of polypropylene fabric, typically referred as \u2018non-woven\u2019 is a flexible resin polymer.<\/p>\n

The outermost layer is typically made out of hydrophobic material, where it will repel droplets and moisture from the external environment.<\/p>\n

It can either be made from synthetic material such as polyester or a polyester and cotton blend.<\/p>\n
