Face masks have been considered a first step to prevent and contain the spread of the disease.

Fabric + form = a mask that uniquely fits your face
Form-fitting clothing is not always governed by sartorial choice. The global pandemic, for example, has underscored the need for face masks that effectively seal around the nose and mouth. But faces and their features differ from one person to the next and can render one-size-fits-all face masks less effective. Well-fitting masks have proved to be a sought-after accessory.

Gas mask

A gas mask is a mask used to protect the wearer from inhaling airborne pollutants and toxic gases. The mask forms a sealed cover over the nose and mouth, but may also cover the eyes and other vulnerable soft tissues of the face.

Most gas masks are also respirators, though the word gas mask is often used to refer to military equipment (such as a field protective mask), the scope used in this article.

The gas mask only protects the user from digesting, inhaling, and contact through the eyes (many agents affect through eye contact). Most combined gas mask filters will last around 8 hours in a biological or chemical situation. Filters against specific chemical agents can last up to 20 hours.

Chinese exorcising masks

Exorcising masks originate from the Central Plains of China. As the name says, they were initially used in exorcising rituals to drive away evil spirits. With time, they became popular in army because they were praising the success of military officers.

Some ethnic groups combined exorcising masks with the totem worshiping. Exorcising masks are still popular among some ethnic minorities such as Miao, D**g, Yao, and others.

The Elegance of a Pink Mask

The West typically associates the color pink with femininity. But in Chinese opera it will instead symbolize elegance and dignified standards or behavior. A character of high social standing or refined sensibilities might don a mask with pink coloration.

Although masks can represent either male or female figures, all maskers all male. In most African communities, although women are not allowed to wear masks, they still participate in masquerades as audience members. They often perform songs and dance to accompany the masker. Women also assist in creating the masker’s costume, sometimes even providing their own clothing for the female figures.

A mask that froze

On the face of it, this is probably our most terrifying-looking mask.

But it actually falls into the life-saving category. Known as a blizzard mask, it was made in the 1950s in Richmond for Australian research expeditions to Antarctica.

MASK OF TUTANKHAMUN

The mask of King Tutankhamun  (c.1336–1327 BC) is one of the most readily recognized icons in Egyptian art. It was found on the king’s mummy buried in the Valley of the Kings, on the west bank of the Nile opposite modern Luxor. The tomb was discovered by the English archaeologist Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon in November 1922.

The youthful king is shown wearing a nemes, a striped royal headcloth, with the heads of a vulture and a cobra – the symbols of the protective goddesses Nekhbet and Wadjet. He has a ceremonial beard attached to his chin and a broad collar with hawk-head terminals around his neck. Heavy cosmetic lines accentuate the king’s eyes. The mask is made of gold with inlaid semi-precious stones, glass, and faience. An inscription from the so-called Book of the Dead is incised on the back.

The face is the most important identifying feature of a person, and in order to preserve it the ancient Egyptians affixed a mask over  the mummy’s shoulders and head. This does not mean that we should regard Tutankhamen’s mask as his portrait; it was, rather, an idealizing image that conformed to the established Egyptian notions of how this king was represented.

Balinese Masks, Bali

With roots in animism—the belief that plants, inanimate objects and other natural phenomena have souls—these masks are seen as a way for spirits to visit the physical world. They are reserved for use only during sacred ceremonies, but tourists can purchase masks crafted specifically for decorative uses.

The Qudi Mask

The world’s first emotional LED mask was unmasked at CES 2022 by Qudi. Consisting of translucent eye goggles and an attached mouth coverage, the mask includes 199 smart LED pixels. Equipped with seven modes, each boasting different LED displays, the mask even contains a robot mode. The robot mode expresses six emotions such as love, smile, shocked, confused, angry, and a cat face as well! The demo mode is quite interesting since it allows the mask to alternate between 12 built-in animations! Whereas the equalizer mode enables the mask to respond to the volume of music being played.

Europe's FFP2

In response to the spread of new, more contagious variants of the coronavirus, some European countries are mandating the use of FFP1 and FFP2 masks -- which stand for "filtering facepiece respirator."

Cloth masks

Research suggests that cloth masks are at least somewhat effective at preventing the spread of airborne particles. When worn properly and with the right amount of layers, they are an effective option for a face covering. For cloth masks to work well, they should have three layers.
