By now, a good chunk of Australia has become fairly accustomed to face masks as the "new norm".
With rules in place across NSW, Victoria, Queensland, and recommendations in other states, finding a good quality face mask while supporting small businesses is more important than ever.
So here at Mamamia, we've compiled a list of our favourite women-owned mask makers at all price points.
Handy!
