Face mask, a new essential accessory

A must have: Wearing face masks may soon be as necessary as wearing shoes or helmets.

OF late, I have added a new item to my already busy handbag. I feel I can’t leave home without it. This is my face mask.

No, not the ones that are touted to give me Korean idol-smooth skin. Rather they are ones that are supposed to protect my lungs from polluted air currently being made worse by the haze.
