So we used the finest, most premium, softest cotton around. We equipped the masks with 9 layer filtration to keep out PM.2 and other pollutants. We installed dual valves for increased safety and breathability during workouts. We made sure the masks were adjustable with a secure neck strap so that they fit just right even at high speeds. We put in countless hours of research and developed an anti-fogging mechanism for these masks.
But even after all of this, we still weren't satisfied! So, we called on some of the top cyclists and fitness enthusiasts in the country and sent them the prototypes of our new Fitness mask. With feedback from them, we made the final round of improvements to our product. And just like that, our vision became a reality!
Now, we are delighted to officially launch PureMe Active - the perfect Anti-Pollution Fitness Mask. A lightweight, breathable and super safe face mask with special features, tailor made to fit the needs and requirements of the Indian Fitness Enthusiast. Whether you're cycling into the sunset, or jogging on the path to a better you - PureMe Active will stay by your side and keep you breathing easy as you cross the finish line.
Here’s what some fitness enthusiasts had to say about PureMe Active masks:

]]>As the world is adjusting to a new normal, linen facemask is a sustainable and comfortable option. Linen will offer a luxurious touch in your everyday fashion. At PureMe, the safety of our customers is our first concern. That’s why we are offering high quality, sustainable, reusable, and breathable Linen facemasks.
Here are a few reasons as to why you should choose Linen Face Masks for your safety.
Linen is naturally antibacterial, hypoallergenic, and antiseptic, meaning it suppresses all microbes, including bacteria, fungi, and pollen. So if you are looking for a face mask that won’t itch or give you rashes, linen will be your best choice. This stems from the fact that linen fabric is not exposed to harsh chemicals. It’s also non-static.
One of the linen’s main benefits is its durability, which comes from its fabric’s strength. Linen can withstand more than just cotton or polyester. Flax Plant fibers are naturally strong and long. When the threads are woven into linen, the fabric keeps its strength.
Environmentalism is not on everyone’s mind at present. However, going green and reducing carbon footprint is always a great idea. Choosing something as small as biodegradable linen masks than their one-time-use counterparts can make a big difference. Also, the entire process of making this fabric is sustainable.
You would want your facemask to be gentle on the skin rather than giving your rashes after long hours. Linen is softer than cotton and gets softer after every wash. The more you use a linen mask, and the more you wash it, the smoother your linen mask will become. Linen is the best fabric for people with sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Who would want sweaty masks in summers? We don’t. Linen Mask is a perfect choice all year-round. It is Naturally Wicking, meaning linen will act as a natural antiperspirant for those hot summer days. It will also be less likely to stick on your skin when compared to cotton. Interestingly, linen also acts as a natural insulator in winters keeping you warm in winters.
Linen is naturally absorbent. It absorbs most of the water without feeling wet, meaning the mask will not stick to your face. Flax plants are hollow and offer higher air permeability making linen a highly breathable fabric and greater heat conductivity. You can say goodbye to sweaty masks.
Although linen is one of the most expensive fabrics globally, it’s cost-effective in the long term. We will be wearing masks in the foreseen future. However, if you have to repurchase them, your costs will add up. Why not save money on face masks by using reusable ones. Disposable masks, while increasing carbon footprint, are also expensive in the long run.
Also, ordering disposable masks time and again can be annoying. Solve all these problems with reusable Linen Face Masks that can be used after every wash.
One of the main problems with cotton is that it shrinks on washing. The cotton fabric also wrinkles easily. On the other hand, linen never shrinks on washing and doesn’t wrinkle.
Linen Masks have a relaxed look that will make you look effortlessly stylish among your colleagues and friends. Dyes blend smoothly with linen giving the fabric deep rich colors.
It is the beneficial properties of Linen that make it an excellent fabric for facemasks. Linen is breathable making it comfortable to wear. It’s also less likely to irritate your skin or cause allergy. Being a light and cool fabric, linen dries faster than other materials and ideal for summers.
Linen Reusable Face Masks are available in seven fashionable colors. Whatever you choose, you will stand apart among your colleagues. PureMe Reusable Linen Face Mask also features an insert slot for a filter and nine layers filtration for your safety. We hope this guide on linen and its benefits will help you make an informed decision for your next face mask purchase.
]]>But why choose linen masks?
]]>
We all understand the need to wear a mask that protects us and people around us while socially distancing in these troubled times.
But why choose linen masks?
Linen is a luxury material made from flax plants over a laborious manufacturing method. The durability of linen makes it 30% stronger than cotton. Linen keeps getting better, and softer after every wash.
Linen has health benefits as it's naturally antibacterial and helps in reducing the spread of germs. The Anti-static property of linen makes it dust and stain-resistant. It’s a breathable material that allows comfortable air circulation.
The structural properties of linen ensure that the product will always retain its shape. The more often you will wear linen masks, the fabric will become smoother,softer and more wonderful to wear.
As a response to the changing lifestyle where breathable masks have become a key to a comfortable day, we started manufacturing Linen Masks. Our new linen masks have all the goodness of PureMe Reusable Masks along with the comfort of Linen.
PureMe linen masks feature 9-layer filtration through four layers of linen and a 5-layer PM2.5 filter. The most captivating feature of PureMe Reusable Masks is the provision for an insert pocket for removable filters, which is present in Linen Face Masks as well.

1. Keep a Safe 6-Foot Distance - When someone coughs or sneezes you should try to be 6 feet away from that person, as far as possible. This is because germs can spread only in a distance of 6 foot or 2m. If someone is known to have any type of infection or disease around your school/college or office, you should try to maintain your distance. You should also avoid different interacting activities like handshakes, hugging, sharing a car ride and sharing hotel rooms when you yourself are sick because of the Flu.
2. Wash/Sanitize Your Hands - When you cough and sneeze, be careful not to touch your face or interact with others. Make sure you immediately wash your hands after sneezing or coughing when you are unwell. You should also wash your hand before eating & handling food, handling a newborn baby, etc.
3. Don't Share Personal Items - Never share personal items with others which will come in contact with saliva and other body fluids. Especially nebulizers, handkerchiefs, cutlery r or any other equipment that is used directly on the body.
4. Avoid Frequent Contact with Dust and Dirt - There are germs hidden in the soil and if you touch the soil or stay in the area around dust then you can be infected with these germs. As far as possible, spend limited time gardening, playing in soil, being around construction sites, etc. and wash your hands as soon as you come back home. Children are infected the most from the soil as they are more keen to play in these areas.
“It’s uncomfortable and hot and always messes up my hairstyle.”
I’m only going to a friend living nearby.”
“ I’m not going to fall, so I don’t need one.”
These are the common excuses everyone gives for not wearing a helmet. But there shouldn’t be excuses when it comes to wearing this protective headgear. You need to step out with a helmet as your motorcycle does not provide the protection that a car does to keep the drivers safe in the event of an accident. There are no seatbelts, no airbags - just you and the cold, hard concrete.
In case of accidents, the head and brain are most vulnerable to injury and the people wearing helmets increase their chance of survival significantly over non-helmet wearers. Also, the helmet protects not only the head but also the eye from dust and pollution.
Two wheelers are the most used vehicle in India and also are the most prone to accidents when compared to the four-wheeler and other vehicles in terms of damage involved to the rider and vehicle. Here, having health Insurance and motorcycle insurance will play a vital role. A motorcycle Insurance policy will protect the vehicle from accidents, theft and damage. Though insurance policies differ in how much coverage they offer, almost every motorcycle insurance company will cover Medical bills for injuries to the rider, Bodily injury to others injured (in case you hit a pedestrian), and Property damage to the bike. You should have motorcycle insurance regardless of whether you have a classic bike, a scooter, or any other motorized two-wheeler.
The first and foremost objective of an Anti-Pollution Face Mask is to protect your respiratory system from pollutants and dust particles on unkempt roads. A pollution face mask should be used throughout the year and not only during cold weather or post-Diwali season when pollution is at its all-time high. Women stepping out with a dupatta (a piece of cloth used to wrap face and head) and men with a face towel is a common sight around India. But this cloth doesn’t prevent polluted air and dust particles rather only saves your skin from direct sunlight.
Face Masks don’t have to be out of style and outdated as you can buy a big variety of face masks online that can match your style and bike colour.
Minor injuries and accidents are common while driving and having a first aid kit handy can be a plus. A right first aid kit is a mix of both Comfort-Oriented First Aid Kit and Life-Saving First Aid Kits where you have things for minor injuries to situations of life and death.
Buying a kit from a superstore can be expensive and huge where you need a compact kit that can be fixed in your two-wheeler. Decide on what components you will actually be using in real life and make your own first aid kit.
If you commute on a daily basis, you know how much pollution and dust can stick to your hands. Your worst nightmare would be shaking hands with your superiors and colleagues without being able to wash your hands with all the pollution and dirt.
The best solution is to carry a sanitiser with you all the time. Buy the smallest one you can find from a store and you will be always ready to meet people right after getting off your motorcycle.
