Looking to buy a non-surgical face mask to protect you during the coronavirus? These are the brands making stylish versions, and giving back to charity too.
Are you unsure whether you should be wearing a non-surgical face mask during your daily walks or trip to the shops? New government advice in England has stated that people should "aim to wear a face-covering in enclosed spaces where social distancing is not always possible and they come into contact with others that they do not normally meet". And from 15 June, face coverings will become compulsory for people using public transport in England. And while it's important to remember that wearing a face mask shouldn't replace frequent hand washing and social distancing, you may want to consider purchasing a face covering for essential trips outside your home.
