LG’s PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier is now in the Philippines

Masks are now an essential part of our daily lives that we’re sure you’re looking for better alternatives. What would you say to a more high-tech mask? LG Philippines is giving you the option with the PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier*, which was first introduced last year to the international market.

This self-purifying mask is your personal all-in solution for clean air. It’ll make you look like you’re in a Star Wars movie, but its bulky exterior has a purpose.

It has replaceable HEPA filters on both sides, which promises to filter out up to 99% of harmful particles, and rechargeable dual inverter fans, which are designed to help you breathe. The fans have different speed options depending on what you need. You can charge this device via USB-C, with a two-hour charge getting you up to eight hours of use.

If you’re worried about wearing masks with valves, the PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier is designed to pass the exhaled air first through its inner cover before it’s released through the valve at the chin. The mask has an inner cover made with the same material used in disposable masks. It’s also designed to mold closely to your face, so you don’t have to worry about the fit.
