✨If you're looking for a better fit, try these ear savers and mask adjusters from Amazon ($6.99 for a four-pack); I use them on masks where the elastic isn't quuuuite a perfect fit on my face.
✨ If your glasses are fogging up with a mask, people are swearing by this anti-fog spray on Amazon for $10.55.
✨ And if you're looking for a cute, convenient way to store your masks without installing anything permanent, try Command hooks! I've included a pic of my set up below; I just put them by the door so I can grab 'em on my way out. It's also really nice if I've washed a mask and I'm waiting for it to air dry. You can snag a pack of nine small hooks on Amazon for $7.48.
You can find more options in BuzzFeed's roundup of places to buy non-medical face masks online, and check out BuzzFeed's guide to the CDC's new face covering recommendations for more deets.
These guidelines are in place primarily to protect people around you from droplets you might expel through breathing, talking, or coughing; even people without symptoms may still be at risk of spreading the virus. The primary functions are that they are breathable, cover your nose and mouth, and are tight enough that they don't leave loose space for droplets to escape. Ideally, face coverings will also be multi-layered — and even *better*, could include a pocket for a filter. Recently, the CDC also updated its guidelines to include tips on double-masking and how to make face masks tighter, if you want to further protect yourself and others around you.
