Face masks are ubiquitous due to increasing air pollution and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, masks can make it difficult to breathe when worn for long periods. The Philips Fresh Air Mask Lite offers comfort thanks to its integrated air circulation system. Elegantly and subtly designed, the mask is based on Philips’ user-centred design approach with the aim of positively influencing people and their lives through innovation. It consists of the reusable mask itself, a replaceable filter and a rechargeable micro-USB fan module. Optimised for high performance, the active fan continuously circulates fresh air, ensuring easy and light breathing. Comfortable to use, the fan module is also quiet and integrates harmoniously into the overall design. With first use, the filter has an efficiency rating of 95 per cent. The mask is made of a specially selected mesh material that makes it highly comfortable to wear. It sits snugly on the face and creates a pleasant V-line around the chin, which is why it also does not interfere with the wearer’s facial expressions. Its weight is hardly noticeable as it distributes the pressure evenly over the nose, cheeks and ears. The replaceable filters not only make the mask sustainable, they also reduce the perception of odours. Another great advantage for spectacle wearers is that the mask also prevents lenses from fogging up.
