These past couple of months have been rough for our essential workers on the frontline through this pandemic. Sacrificing not only family time, but their safety due to the lack of equipment being provided has been a hassle. Luckily, these brands are fashionably stepping up to the plate to become the help we need in this time of crisis. Which mask fits your style and personality more?
