The best medical masks with valve
Respirator masks provide more effective protection against infections, but they are also much more expensive than conventional medical masks. Their main distinguishing feature is the presence of an exhalation valve. This device instantly removes warm and moist exhaled air from the air pocket created by the mask. This instantly reduces the temperature and humidity under the mask and increases wearing comfort. More reliable filtration of unwanted substances in some cases is confirmed by GOST, for example, the 3M 8122 respirator mask has a protection class of FFP2.
4 Masker's NF with valve three-layer
On the fourth line of the rating is the Masker's NF respirator mask with a three-layer valve.
The product is created taking into account advanced Japanese technologies for maximum respiratory protection. The three-layer mask is made from innovative ultra-soft material, which ensures comfortable use and does not rub the delicate skin of the face. The new mask design is created for a tight anatomical fit to the skin.
High-tech polymer fibers are capable of retaining up to 99% of dust, allergens, viruses, bacteria, aerosols and other contaminants for 8 hours. Exhalation is carried out using a special valve, so the product does not restrict breathing. The adjustable temple allows you to securely fix the product in the desired position.
Buyers highly appreciate the ease of breathing in a mask, fairly good filtering properties and the modern design of the model. The disadvantages include a not very tight fit to the face, since the product is not elastic, and an unaesthetic outer seam.
Pros:
- Advanced Japanese technology.
- Three layers of material.
- High level of filtration.

How to choose the right moisturizing mask?
The use of a moisturizing facial mask depends on the type of outer, protective layer. Peeling, dryness, itching, irritation - these are the symptoms that can alert a girl or woman at any age. These are the first signals about signs of disorders in your body. There is no point in waiting until the first wrinkles are visible; it is better to take preventive actions in advance. Because dry skin is the thinnest and most unprotected layer.
The owners of the female half of humanity with oily and porous skin are much more fortunate. Yes, in adolescence this type of protective layer causes a lot of unpleasant moments and unnecessary problems. But then, in adulthood, women receive obvious compensation:
- Oily skin has a thicker composition. Which has a beneficial effect on protection from harmful factors;
- Oily skin contains a special layer that is a protective membrane;
- According to cosmetologists, those with oily facial skin develop wrinkles much later compared to their colleagues with dry skin;
However, the option of oily facial skin will not save you from all troubles. Oily skin also needs regular moisturizers. When choosing a moisturizing mask for oily skin, you need to pay close attention to the components of the mask. Their chemical or natural composition must comply with the most important rule - not to clog the pores of the facial skin. You can opt for moisturizing masks that combine two directions in one, that is, the function of cleansing and moisturizing. Such components, for example, include masks prepared on the basis of medicinal clays or Dead Sea salts.

Another disadvantage of problem skin is visible pimples (acne), enlarged pores and an unhealthy, shiny glow. This signal indicates that blood vessels are located close to the surface of the skin. For such problematic skin, moisturizing masks should be selected correctly so as not to cause further harm or cause further inflammation or an allergic effect.
