Muji face masks are as stylish and minimalist as one might expect, offering a simple, [re-usable solution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everlast-eye-mask) to the typical blue medical masks one might be sporting.

Face masks and protective gear are here to stay, and there's no better way to help slow the spread of COVID-19 like wearing a mask that's comfortable, breathable and washable. Muji's masks hit all three of these requirements boasting three lightweight layers that enhance protection without being too heavy.

The brand took to its [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adizero-evo-sl-gsnk) page to demonstrate how to properly clean the masks using a gentle cleanser, as they shouldn't be bleached or placed in the laundry machine. The [minimalist white masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everyday-glasses) are available in convenient packs of three.
