There is a limit on the wearing time of disposable medical masks. For the occupational exposed personnel, the use of masks cannot exceed 4 hours, and they cannot be reused. If the cumulative use of disposable medical masks exceeds 8 hours, what harm will it cause?

After wearing the mask, the temperature of the mask will increase with breathing. High heat and humidity environment will lead to a large amount of skin oil secretion, which will block pores and cause acne. The surface of the skin will be covered with a layer of bacteria, which can be divided into harmful bacteria and beneficial bacteria. When the temperature and humidity of the mask rise, it will provide a good living environment for the growth of bacteria, break the balance of bacteria, and turn the originally growing acne into acne. In addition, there are also some people who are allergic to the fabric of the mask. The fiber material is rough and does not touch the skin. The fold of the mask will often rub with the skin, especially when there is formaldehyde residue or resin fiber releasing formaldehyde in the fabric, it will cause skin allergy.

Use fresh and easy to absorb maintenance products
