Face mask filters are used as an extra layer of protection to filter out particulate in the air. They usually sit in between the two outer layers of the mask. Several types of face mask filters exist, from basic cloth pieces to carbon filters and HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters. How often should I change my face mask filter? There are several great reusable, washable non-medical face coverings on the market that come with removable filters. You should replace the filter regularly – ideally after each use – and wash your mask daily, waiting until it is completely dry before you put it on again. For filters to work effectively, the mask should fit snugly to your face, with no gaps where air can escape.
