How To Make A Breathable Mask That Does Not Touch The Face

I found this great breathable facemask, that does not touch the face by DIY Trefa on Youtube, where she is using a round plate as a pattern to make a no face contact facemask. I know there are many barrier mask tutorials on Youtube that lie flat to the face, but many people do not like a piece os fabric touching the face because it is very hard to breathe in them. This mask is easy to make and will help that uncomfortable feeling of being muzzled. There are many reasons to choose a cloth mask and as a rule, they are my preference because you can sterilize them in your wash with many natural substances such as distilled white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, or Clorox Bleach along with your favorite laundry soap. I put a couple of drops of essential oil on my cloth facemask, to add a bit more of a barrier between my air passages and dangerous contaminants. The other thing I love about this cloth mask is that there is a layer of cotton batting which really adds to the protective barrier layer. The materials are really simple and straightforward as well. However, the masks that you can make at home are not proven to protect against COVID 19 and I have only made them in a pinch to wear with another disposable mask. For in-depth information regarding how to protect yourself against COVID 19, please view this link from the CDC Website describing all safe practices during the COVID 19 outbreak.
