Default Face Masks

Went shopping today, the first time since the mandatory face mask rule was introduced in England.

Was surprised to see the number of people who were wearing face masks on their chins leaving the mouth and nose exposed along with those who were just using them to cover their mouths.

I must admit they are a bit of a pain with my glasses constantly steaming up, so i think I will try to get a plastic face shield and see how that goes.

If you can get a mask with the metal stiffener on the top edge you can mould it to your face better and it helps stop misting, or so I find. If it also has an exit valve fitted, that means the expelled air is well away from your glasses.

I bought some plastic face shield visors online and what arrived was rubbish, easily scratched and not very clear to look through, they were cheap. Its worth shopping around for better quality, if you are going to be wearing a mask and a face shield at the same time.

Here is a video: How to stop fogging on your glasses whilst wearing mask... https://youtu.be/EtGDnX1P7mI

A 50 50 mix of any detergent wiped on and wiped off with a tissue works for a couple of days. My wife uses washing up liquid, her work is insisting that they ware them at work and since using washing up liquid she has had no problem.

Having an exit valve defeats the object, really, as the wearing of face covering is to protect others not just yourself.

Not if it conforms to the standard as the valve is filtered
