Even though mask mandates everywhere have dropped, airborne viruses are still abound. The CDC (Centre of Disease Control) still recommends using protective face masks to stay protected from all types of viruses and airborne diseases.

High quality protective face masks are also known to prevent dust, allergens, pollen and protect against the elements in cold climates and against the harmful rays of the sun

With the many choices available out there, and the need to stay safe, it is therefore not surprising that protective face masks are fast becoming a lifestyle accessory.

 And with face masks taking quite a considerable coverage on your face, it is therefore not surprising that many chose to wear one that is aesthetically pleasing or has a luxurious feel and even stylish.

What is a Luxurious Protective Face Mask?

A luxurious protective face mask is one that uses premium fabric –  of the finest and highest quality, high durability, soft  and smooth to feel and touch while at the same time, providing ample protection against airborne droplets with high quality filters, embedded rather than replaceable and  highly breathable.

Premium Fabric

Premium, luxury fabric can range from cashmere, silk to leather. However though these may be elegant essentials for one’s wardrobe, not all of them are suitable to be made into protective face masks. And sourcing fabrics from animals can be costly and not sustainable.

Enter the luxe feel yet sustainable, eco-friendly and naturally organic Bamboo Fabric. Known to feel even softer than silk, bamboo has a less of an environmental impact and a smaller carbon footprint than cotton. It also doesn’t rely on pesticides, fertilizer and water to grow.

Our range of Classic BreatheEasierMask, Orchid Motif BreathEasierMask And Swarovski Cystal embellishments BreatheEasierMask all use the soft bamboo inner fabric for its highly breathable properties, supremely soft to the touch, anti-irritant and biodegrability

High Tech Luxury Fabric

Beyond the luxurious natural fabric of bamboo or organic cotton, look also towards top of the line high-tech luxury fabric that can be made into protective face masks. These fabrics differ from the common synthetics because of the focus on quality, care and innovation.

These high tech fabric are the result of years of research to find modern alternatives to less sustainable options.

High tech luxe fabrics combine the best quality of natural lux fabric like softness and durability with innovation such as UV Protection, thermoregulating, being waterproof or moisture resistant, and even getting Collagen Peptides to be infused into it. Yes, welcome to the world of  collagen infused fabric!

Collagen Infused Fabric

One example of a high tech luxury fabric is the Collagen Infused fabric. Used as the inner fabric (of our 4-layer) Collagen-Infused BreatheEasierMask. Made of rayon collagen with the fabric processing Marine Technology, the fabric uses supramolecular technology to integrate marine collagen peptide amino acid to create a bionic functional fiber series. This is so that they will take on silk and wool special properties, such as the supersoft hand feel but with a higher moisture retention, naturally deodorizing function, added with UV protection. Not mentioning it’s highly breathability factor which is an important consideration for a protective face mask.

The collagen infused fabric is therefore ideal as a protective face mask with its skin-friendly and anti-aging properties of hydration and skin plumping up. Wearers feel that their skin is softer and moisturised, does not suffer from breakouts or “maskne“ after long hours of wear instead of the dry, rough feel of the skin from wearing other protective face mask.

It also provides a cooling effect to the face especially useful during the hot summer or tropical weather places, while protecting from harmful viruses and elements via the double embedded filters.

Duchess Satin Fabric

Another example of a luxe fabric is the duchess satin fabric, used most commonly in bridal gowns. With its naturally thick, moisture repellent, thermoregulating fabric properties, it is ideal as an outer layer fabric on our Swarovski Crystal Embellishments range. With the Swarovski adding a “bling bling” factor to this range, combine with is durability and smoothness luxe quality and our double filters, it is a hit with any fashionistas who still want to stay safe or for that night out. Our Swarovski crystal embellishment breatheeasiermask comes in white duchess satin fabric with an inner bamboo fabric and double filters.

Craftmanship

When producing each BreatheEasierMask, in addition to only using premium fabric and high quality filters,  we combine both the use of precision machinery as well as being hand sewn individually by master crafters – providing great craftsmanship with elegant design while providing ample protection against the elements.

Each BreatheEasierMask is made to look as good as it feels when wearing them and even better, made to last through many washes. Reusable, rewashable – saving the planet from litter.

Of course, all these high end qualities come with a higher price tag. Like the famous fashion houses when producing their haute couture, high quality craftsmanship is synonymous to a higher price tag.

However if you consider the amount spent on cheap disposable masks daily, weekly or monthly – investing in a luxurious high quality protective face mask like BreatheEasierMask can prove cheaper in the long run. Not mentioning saving the planet from more litter.

What is a Stylish Protective Face Mask?

Because of its day to day function, many who still chose to mask up are opting for protective face masks with colours and designs that matches their outfits, fits snugly as well as provide ample protection against airborne viruses.  

Most importantly the design of the face mask must conform to any face shapes and the  adjustability of the straps must  help to fit most face sizes –the “snug factor” is an important factor that add a stylish element to the mask wearer.

Face Nappies

With surgical masks and other disposable masks, people are made to look like they have been to the hospital and because of their disposability, and “paper like quality”, the term “face nappies” were coined.  Who wants a mask that hangs like nappies on their face?

At the peak of the pandemic even top fashion houses like Gucci or Fendi jumped into the bandwagon to produce designer brand protective face masks. Singer Billie Ellish was spotted with a Gucci face mask at the 2021 Grammy’s though it is not considered “medical grade”.

Even though there are plenty of  supposedly “stylish” cloth masks with amazing designs and colours, many are considered poor quality. Many are not fabric tested or treated and are not anti-bacterial certified. Even the so-called silk masks out there, though  beautiful and soft to touch  may feel heavy on the face  and not breathable due to the design of the masks. Though they may look “cute” and “stylish” to the wearers, the breathability factor or even the protection level may not be up to par.

Maskne – Acne due to Mask

Most low quality cloth masks also have a reputation of causing maskne, are not well fitting due to their non-adjustable straps  and do not sit snugly on the face. It is also a well-known fact that most of the cloth masks or  even the disposable masks out there are not skin friendly and causes breakouts.  Especially tiresome for someone with sensitive skin or who does not like the look of a volcano erupting on their face everytime they masked up!

Luxe, Stylish And Safe

BreatheEasierMasks are considered “luxe” because of the premium fabric that we use, our design craftsmanship and adjustable straps (versus the non-adjustable ear loops found in most cloth or disposable masks).
