How to wear face masks when necessary for many hours?

Unfortunately, for many of us, wearing masks is a bit tedious, especially for several hours a day. You may then feel breathless or drowsy due to less oxygen.

To alleviate the discomfort caused by wearing the mask constantly, you just need to remember the simple rules. First of all, wear a mask only if it is necessary. If we do not have contact with people from the outside and we are not in public places, it is worth downloading it, even for a dozen or so minutes. A short break will allow you to rest and oxygenate.

It is also worth getting a few reusable masks. Statistically, one person buys about 8-10 masks (and buys them when they wear out), so that they can change during the day and wash them - comparable to the way we do with underwear. If we have to be in a closed place, it is also worth opening the window and breathing deeply. We will notice a difference in how you feel every time.
