Wash and Wear: The Best Washable Face Masks in Australia
Around Australia, the rules around mask-wearing differ, but there’s one thing we know for sure: You’re going to need your handy face masks for a little while longer. While the number of vaccinations being rolled out across the country is increasing, we’re still reliant on face masks as a way to protect ourselves and others from the COVID-19 virus.
If your mask stack needs a top-up, these are some of our favourite masks on the market. And, best of all, these are all washable so you can wash and re-wear to your heart’s content. Not only is this better for your bank balance but steering clear of single-use face masks is far better for the environment.
Cue Knitted Face Mask
Cue’s Knitted Face Mask ($19.95) is comfortable, washable and reusable. Made from a soft breathable Milano knit, for every purchase of a Cue Face Mask, Cue will donate $10 to St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney or Melbourne.
Tonic Face Mask 2 Pack Flourish Blues
Tonic’s Face Mask 2 Pack Flourish Blues ($30) comes with two masks, allowing you to switch it up when it comes to mask wearing. Simply pop in the wash and rewear when needed.

Another set of two masks, Morgan & Taylor’s Tahni Face Mask + Scrunchie Set ($39.95) also comes with two scrunchies that match the face masks. Cute!
