By now, face masks have become a part of our everyday routines amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, many shoppers are seeking out additional ways to protect themselves with various personal protective equipment (PPE) as a third wave continues to spread across the U.S. Face shields are one popular accessory that can be worn as an extra barrier in addition to a cloth mask, with plenty of brands releasing their own designs—including this popular pick from Polaroid that's currently on sale.

Made from polycarbonate plastic, shoppers at Nordstrom (where it's also on sale), praise this snap-on, reusable shield for being high-quality and surprisingly comfortable. It features a multi-color strap that can be adjusted to fit almost any head size, so it's suitable for both kids and adults alike. Polaroid also claims the curved design can reduce fog from breathing to remain clear during use, with enough room to fit over a pair of glasses.
As one shopper describes, “Pretty impressive for a face shield. [It] comes with a carrying bag which makes storage easy. It’s amazingly comfortable and the adjustable straps are soft but durable.”
While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cautions that face shields should not be used in place of a mask, they can be useful in preventing you from touching your face and eyes—a major factor in stopping the spread of coronavirus. They can also serve as an additional protective layer for those in public spaces where respiratory droplets can spread easily throughout the air. In fact, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, recommends goggles or eye shields to protect "mucosal surfaces" that may not be covered by a regular face mask, including the eyes.
For those looking to maximize their personal protection, face shields, like this Polaroid option, can certainly be a useful supplement to your PPE—just make sure to always double-up with a top-rated face mask!
