Hayfever season is in full swing and your nose and eyes feel like they are on fire. But aren’t you getting bored with those ordinary white surgical masks? Here to help set you apart is Pico Mask (¥680), an online store offering fashionable alternatives. Not only are they available in floral, polka dot and black lace patterns, but also—since they’re made out of cotton—they are soft, warm and can be washed and reused. Aside from their eco-friendliness, the maker claims that they cut 100 percent of UV rays, 99 percent of pollen and 87 percent of viruses. The adjustable straps make them suitable for faces of any size. So rather than wear a white mask that labels you as “sick”, choose one that makes you hip.
