What did you find to be the best materials for homemade masks? Rogak: A double-knit cotton is the most effective of the common fabrics for particle filtration. Its relatively open structure makes it breathable.

“Because they extend down from the forehead, shields protect the eyes as well as the nose and mouth,” says pediatric infectious disease specialist Frank Esper, MD. The coverage that face shields offer is ideal since the new coronavirus can enter the body through those points.

Experts also say household staples like coffee filters and paper towels can double as face mask filters in a pinch and should be inserted in between layers of fabric and replaced after each use. “Many masks available for purchase online have a pocket or pouch in which you could add a filter.
HEPA filters with multiple layers block small particles almost as well as N95 respirators, studies show. But they might have tiny fibers that can get into your lungs. If you cut up a filter to use in a mask, be sure to sandwich the filter material between layers of cotton or other woven fabric.
Overall, technically you can use fusible interfacing in face masks. It will provide some filtration (to block out particles) and it’s breathable.
Just before wearing a face mask, wash your eyeglasses with soapy water, shake off the excess and allow them to air-dry or gently wipe them off with a soft cloth. The soapy water actually leaves behind a translucent “film” that protects the lens and prevents them from fogging up.
Adding a folded tissues to the inside top of your face mask or covering can also help absorb those warm droplets, and reduce fogging. If those D.I.Y. methods aren’t cutting it for you, there are commercial anti-fog sprays you can purchase, like the ones used for swimmers’ or divers’ goggles.

CDC does not recommend using face shields or goggles as a substitute for masks. Goggles or other eye protection may be used in addition to a mask. Do NOT put a plastic face shield (or a mask) on newborns or infants. Face shields and goggles are primarily used to protect the eyes of the person wearing it.
