There’s a clever headback to slip your elastics onto, and wearable personal air purifier.   And check out the “Vote” masks and also help vulnerable girls too.

The Mask Bracket

This product (there are many versions out) have become an instant success, especially after a schoolteacher posted this video on Facebook and it went viral. The “bracket” is a food-safe, silicon structure that goes on your lower face and then your mask goes over it. It gives you better breathing room, and keeps the material off your face (and lipstick too.) Just make sure when you put the mask on, that it fully covers your mouth and nose with no gaping on the sides or top.  3 for $12.00 Amazon
