Which side is correct to wear the mask to the face: colored or white?

Unfortunately, many people have not figured out which side to wear in public places mask to the face - white or colored.

The white side of the mask (the one that you have is lighter) should adjoin your face.

Colored - it can be blue, blue, green, orange and any other color - is the outside of the mask.

They differ, the colored (outer part) is tougher to the touch, the fact is that it is covered with an additional layer that does not allow water to pass through well.

This is done to prevent the mask from entering the body, for example, droplets of saliva with virus particles.

The white surface is softer, it is designed to trap particles that the person himself gives out during breathing.

How to wear a mask correctly?

Improper wearing of the mask negates its benefits, moreover, it even increases the risk of infection, because the white part of the mask absorbs particles that other people breathe out, and the colored side does not allow getting rid of its bacteria when breathing.

Remember that the white part is not capable of irritating, but the hard part is.
