You handle the masks by its handles only.
You do not touch the front part of the masks with unwashed hands.
Single use only for disposable (max of 4 hours).
Reusable must be washed after each use. Repeated washing renders them unusable. So they are reusable only up to a point.

Storage of the mask must be hygienic and come into contact with no untreated surfaces.
There must be no gap between your face and the mask and it must fully cover the whole of the nose and mouth.
Pulling it down to rest under your face causes contamination.

I personally cannot comply with these measures when I am just going about my daily business going to and from work.
From observing people, I would guess above 90 percent of people break one or more of the rules.
So, what's the point?

The better practice which should have been encouraged would have been regular hand washing and not touching your face at all in public spaces. That, most people could do with a bit of will power and a bottle of alcohol rub.
