While many states along with Florida are beginning to reopen, facial coverings or masks are still required in a lot of counties and businesses. Summer is here and along with summer comes heat and humidity.

Here are some tips and tricks to help stay cool while wearing a facial covering or mask this summer.

1. Its important to pick a material that is breathable. According to the CDC, some good options include woven cotton sheets and T-shirt fabrics.

2. Be smart about selecting a color. The darker shades tend to attract the sun, making it feel even warmer.

3. Always carry extra masks with you incase you need to change one.

4.  Make sure you are wearing your mask properly. According to the CDC, your facial coverings or mask should cover your nose and mouth and fit snugly against the sides of your face but loose enough on the inside, so it does not restrict your breathing.

5. Its important to limit your time outdoors especially in extreme heat and humidity.

6. Remember to keep your distance from others and wash your hands frequently.
