Pandemic Style: 10 Places to Buy Reusable Face Masks
As the Coronavirus continues to run rampant through the United States every person must do their part to stop the spread. Many states are requiring the use of facemasks and this rule does not seem to be going anywhere, anytime soon. Instead of reaching for another disposable, blue and white mask, it is time to invest in something a little more stylish.
Many retailers have jumped on this trend and are now producing facemasks to match anyone’s style. Every place mentioned in this article has decided that they will not simply use this pandemic for financial gain. Rather, each company is doing its part to not only protect you but the community around you.
