How to wear (and care) for your RI face covering

How to wear (and care) for your RI face covering
We love an accessory, especially one that helps keep us safe! Look after yourself and others in our brand new range of face coverings complete with the classic RI twist (coming soon). Now that face coverings are mandatory on public transport why not rep one of ours? Good style doesn’t stop at the shoulders so stay protected with our fierce designs. Get prepped for their launch next week with these handy tips for wear and care …
Where to wear
Wear your face covering whenever social distancing becomes a challenge e.g. at the supermarket or if you’re back at work and have close contact with your co-workers. Don’t forget that from today we have to wear face coverings on all public transport so make sure to keep yours in your bag at all times. 

Keep your face covering on the entire time that you’re in public. Remember that our cloth face coverings are not medical masks or a replacement for PPE. Please use them alongside the proper social distancing and hygiene advice. 

Makeup is expensive but with a face covering you really don’t need to bother. If you can’t leave the house without a full beat and want to embrace au naturel, take this time to cut down, let your skin breathe and save on makeup. 
How to wear
Wearing a face covering seems simple and it is – once you know how! If your mask is too big you can tie a knot in the elastic to adjust it to fit. It should fit snugly but comfortably so it’s easy to breathe. Try and put your face covering on by the ear loops to minimise touching it.

Even our new fave accessory can be accessorised! We love wearing ours with statement earrings that really frame the face. Red lipstick isn’t an option so why not rock some chunky hoops instead?

it’s important we all wear our face coverings in public but also to look after our skin. If you’re particularly sensitive treat yourself to a hydrating face mask or a new moisturiser to prevent a breakout.

Hygiene is everything
You know that if you want good skin touching your face is the worst thing you could do. Apply that same logic to your face covering to protect yourself from the potential spread of germs.

Wash your hands before and after removing you face covering for at least 20 seconds in hot soapy water. If soap and water aren’t available uses hand sanitiser instead. 

How to care for
Wash your face covering after each time you wear it for ultimate protection. We suggest investing in more than one to save you constantly putting on wash loads and to be more eco conscious. 

You can wash your cloth face covering with your clothes using your regular detergent – it’s that simple! If you’d prefer to hand wash just make sure to scrub it in hot, soapy water for at least 20 seconds and dry on a high heat.
