Tips and Tricks:
- To keep your glasses from fogging up while wearing a mask:
- use surgical tape or a band-aid to tape down the top of your mask. This not only secures your mask in place, it also seals off any air from escaping from the top, which causes the fogging.
- Another method to keep your glasses from fogging is to fold a tissue to 1 inch wide, and a trim or fold the length to match the top of your mask. Tape or place the tissue at the top of your mask to seal the gaps between the mask and your skin.
- Wear your mask farther up on your nose, and place your glasses over the mask, instead of under. This creates a tighter seal as well as positions your glasses out of the way of any air that may escape.
- Sew a button on your mask where you want your glasses to sit to keep them from slipping.
- Encourage kids to keep their masks and face shields on by letting them pick out their own masks.
- Have a mask for every day of the week, so you always have a clean one. Wash them in the washing machine in a delicates bag, or by hand, and let them air dry to make sure they last.
