• Reusable face mask means great value cost per use
• Choosing NZ made face masks supports our local economy

• 3 layer face mask design consisting of a breathable 100% linen outer, a sewn-in polypropylene non-woven moisture barrier and a 100% white cotton lining (this is black cotton on the black linen masks)
• Elastic straps fit behind the head, so you can comfortably wear your Kind Face™ mask for extended periods

• You can tighten the tension of the elastic straps by re-tying to suit.

When choosing your Kind Face™ face mask be sure to select the size the best suits your smile. The basic dimensions of the masks are measured from chin to bridge of nose (height) and centre to cheek edge (width);

• LARGE mask height = 16.5cm from chin to bridge of nose + Width = 12.5cm from centre to cheek edge
  
• MEDIUM (fits most female adults and some men); Mask height = 15.5cm from chin to bridge of nose + Width = 11.5cm from centre to cheek edge 
• SMALL (suits children under 10 years of age): Mask height = 13.5cm from chin to bridge of nose + Width = 11.5cm from centre to cheek edge

• Wash hands with soap and water or use hand sanitiser immediately.

• Important: Kind Face™ reusable face masks must be washed before first use
• Allow for up to 10% shrinkage from washing
  
• The natural character of linen sees it become softer and more lustrous with use
• Kind Face™ products might have small imperfections due to the nature of being 100% handmade

• Avoid bleach. Hang to dry. Best not to iron, but if you choose to move the iron quickly

Kind Face™ 3 layer face masks are a consumer product, and we are not claiming use as a medical device.

Why is the elastic set up for behind-the-head?

Packaging is kept to a minimum – but where required this will either be home compostable, fully recyclable in NZ or at least reusable for another purpose.
