It is to differentiate one wrestler from another. At first all lucha libre wrestlers used the same kind of outfits but in 1942, the well-known, silver-masked wrestler known as El Santo (Spanish for The Saint) stepped on to the ring and enamored the audiences due to the secrecy of his true identity and his outgoing and friendly attitude towards his fans.

After that, many wrestlers began to copy the winning formula, being the most prominent Blue Demon and Mil Mascaras(Spanish for 'a thousand masks'). Then the use of colorful masks and flamboyant costumes became an ongoing national phenomenon that has lasted to this day and even has been copied to some degree by American wrestlers.

Do face masks expire?

“No” Face Masks like surgical masks or medical masks get expired after one use because these masks are made up for use only once, it does not reusable so it does not that protective to use twice. There is a high risk of attacking viruses or gems when they get used for 2nd or 3rd time. I can suggest you as a manufacturer of various kinds of face masks, such as Disposable or 3 PLY Masks, FFP2 Masks and, FFP3 Masks.
