With so many opinions out there, it's difficult to understand which, in fact, is better. The truth is that in order to find out, time is needed. Time for research. Time for proper, scientifically valid comparisons. As we enter our 6th month of the Coronavirus Pandemic, those results are coming to light.

Faceshields are proving to be superior in the following:

• Ease of Breathing- no filaments or fibers to breathe in, and airflow through the bottom (as mentioned, gravity doesn't push heavy droplets up) promotes breathing clean air

• Financial Investment- Being easy to clean means fewer purchases

• Better for the Environment- Faceshields are not discarded on streets

• Reduced Skin Irritation and "Maskne" because of better air flow

• Reduced Face Touching- it is almost impossible to wear a shield the wrong way (we've all seen the masks pulled down below the nose), and often- once situated, does not require frequent adjustments as the mouth moves to speak.

• Protection includes the eyes, nose and ears in most cases!

• Full Face Visual- Non-verbal communication is 55% of the human process. Your smile is literally worth a thousand words!
