Is continuously wearing a mask good for immunity?

While it's excellent for preventing colds, excessive overprotection might mean missing out on opportunities for immune system training. However, when fine dust is severe, during seasonal changes, or in crowded places, the benefits of wearing one are significantly greater.

코로나가 남긴 교훈, 마스크의 위력입니다.

  • 보습 효과: 마스크 내부는 습도가 유지되어 찬 공기가 코를 자극하는 것을 막아줍니다(비염에 좋음).
  • 위생: 아이들은 손으로 코, 입을 만지는데 마스크가 이를 차단해줍니다.
💡 덴탈 vs KF

숨쉬기 힘들어하면 덴탈 마스크라도 씌우세요. 안 쓰는 것보다는 침방울 차단 효과가 큽니다.
