By now, we all know how important face masks are in stopping the spread of COVID-19. In fact, experts say it's not only safe but recommended that you wear a face mask even while exercising, including tough workouts like running.
However, as fun as it is to collect cute, patterned face masks the way we collect hair ties — after all, they're essentially part of your outfit these days — not all of them are great for your next training session. If you want to avoid discomfort, sweat stains, and breakouts, a moisture-wicking mask is the way to go. We've rounded up a few of our favorites that can help keep sweat and germs at bay.
