We here at Shameless are mega-promoters of face mask wearing during the COVID pandemic. If you're out of your house or anywhere around people, YOU SHOULD BE WEARING A FACE COVERING, no excuses! We've done a bit of shopping and found some examples of effective face masks we think you'll love, too.
Shopping for a face mask isn't a one-stop deal though. Not all face coverings are alike; you're Goldilocks, lady! Some are too small, some are too big, and some are just plain ineffective. Shop around and find the maker who has the best for you before you give up your search for the best fit. Personally, I have a giant head (scientific fact) and wear glasses, so have a hard time finding a good fit that won't fog up my glasses. (I recently found some anti-fog wipes on Amazon that are working so far.)
So try, try again until you find a face mask that works for you!
Old Navy is churning out a bunch of stylish and effective 3-layer cotton face masks like it's their job. Fair warning: they have sold out recently, so if you see something you like, order right away!
Available in both adult and kid sizes in 5-packs and 10-packs, these affordable Old Navy masks are perfect for having on hand in every pocket, purse, and glove box.
