The present invention relates to a face mask, and in particular to a face mask with an aromatic function.
Wearing face masks outdoors has become a frequent occurrence for the public along with the Covid-19 pandemic. However, with wearing of a face mask for over an extended period of time, smells from the nasal cavity or the oral cavity due to breathing can be accumulated at the face mask, and may become unbearable odors over an extended period of time. As a result, while a face mask is still capable of providing protection, some users may replace the face mask because of the unpleasant odors, leading to reduced usage time of the face mask and producing more wastes.
With dedicated research and development, the applicant has proposed a face mask that provides a user wearing the face mask with a sense of aroma and reduces unpleasant odors produced by wearing the face mask for over an extended period of time, thereby prolonging the usage time of the face mask and reducing wastes produced.
A face mask provided by the present invention includes a mask body and an aromatic portion. The mask body has an inner side and an outer side opposite to each other. The aromatic portion is arranged on the inner side of the mask body and contains an aromatic substance, and the aromatic portion is located at a position with air ventilation once being worn by a user.
In one embodiment, when the mask body is worn by the user, the aromatic portion is arranged relative to a philtrum of the user.
In one embodiment, the mask body has an upper side and a lower side. A ratio of a first distance between the aromatic portion and the upper side to a distance between the upper side and the lower side is 1/3.
In one embodiment, the mask body has a left side and a right side, and the aromatic portion is located at right in the middle of the left side and the right side.
In one embodiment, the face mask further includes two straps, which are respectively connected to the left side and the right side of the mask body.
In one embodiment, the face mask is a disposable face mask.
Thus, with the aromatic portion provided, the face mask of the present invention can provide the user wearing the face mask with a sense of aroma and reduce unpleasant odors produced by wearing of the face mask over an extended period of time, further prolonging the usage time of the face mask and reducing wastes produced.
