Since the outbreak of the epidemic this year, face masks have been with us for nearly a year. When working at home, always wear masks when going out. After returning to work and classroom study, we have to wear masks for up to 8 hours every day. However, wearing masks for a long time will cause many problems. How should we deal with these problems and how to choose and wear masks scientifically? Today, let’s talk about it in detail.
1. How to do if the breath is not smooth after wearing mask for a long time?
For example, ordinary people recommend wearing disposable surgical masks or disposable nursing masks, which can at least reduce the sense of suffocation while ensuring basic protection.
For people with respiratory problems, the elderly and children, it is recommended to use less N95 face masks.
After wearing N95 masks for a long time, some special people may feel that their breathing is blocked. This is also because the particles filtered by the mask will block the filter material, which will increase the respiratory resistance. At this time, we should replace the masks in time.
2. How can the symptoms of allergy and redness appear on the face caused by wearing mask for too long?
Just in the past summer, because of the hot weather, but we still insist on wearing masks, so that the skin under the mask has been in a hot, humid environment; and this environment will accelerate the growth of some bacteria, may also damage the skin water and oil balance of the face, resulting in dry skin, oil, acne. For example, the skin is more sensitive at ordinary times, and may even cause contact dermatitis, causing the whole face to be red and itchy.
If there are some allergic reactions on the face when wearing the mask, it is necessary to stop the mask immediately and apply the medicine in time to avoid serious problems. Of course, for people like this, it’s better to choose some masks with better air permeability.
In addition, after removing the mask, it is necessary to protect the inside of the mask from contamination, and do not litter it. Moisture in the mask can cause bacteria to grow and stimulate the skin surface, causing allergy; therefore, when the mask is wet, it should be replaced in time. If there is no replaceable mask, you can also hang the mask in a ventilated place for next use. What’s more, ladies and sisters, please pay attention not to make-up when wearing masks, and be careful to remove makeup after make-up, so as to avoid residual makeup blocking pores.
In a word, wearing masks also requires us to start from ourselves and wear them according to our own conditions. Now the resources of masks are not very scarce, but we still need to wear masks
