Experts suggested it is necessary to wear a face mask in hot summer days and citizens can opt for disposable light-layered surgical masks made of cool and breathable materials, as well as bringing extras in case it gets sweaty, according to DT News.
It may feel suffocating wearing a mask in this scorching heat, so the experts advised citizens to change masks when they find themselves sweating through their masks to ensure optimum mask performance.
In addition, people can choose a relatively light disposable medical mask to reduce the discomfort caused by the sweltering heat.
Citizens must immediately go to an open and safe place to remove their masks and breathe fresh air to relieve discomfort such as suffocation and shortness of breath from wearing a mask for a long time.
Some people might put a napkin between their face and the mask when they sweat a lot. However, the experts said this will affect the tightness of medical mask and result in reduced protection.
Moreover, citizens could apply moisturizer on the nose, cheekbone and ears to reduce skin irritation like redness caused by wearing face masks and stop using masks that cause allergic reactions on the face.
In summer, residents must also wear sunscreen and a hat or use an umbrella when wearing a mask to avoid uneven skin tone, according to the experts.
