Get rid of foggy glasses with a face mask
In the corona era, wearing a face mask is not optional in many situations, such as public transport. It’s not a problem, you’d think, but for those of us who wear glasses… it’s not pleasant at all. Wearing a mask means exhaling hot air which then fogs up your glasses. Fortunately, there are some good tips on how to prevent this from happening when wearing a mask.
How do you wear it?
Before we get into tips on how to prevent your glasses from fogging up, it’s important to know how to wear a mask correctly. First of all, you should wash and dry your hands well. Then, you will take the mask by the elastics without touching the mask itself. Next, place the ties behind your ears and when you take off your mask, again, touch only the elastics. Store cloth masks in a closed plastic bag and do not store used masks with new ones. Do not put uncovered masks in your bag, this could cause the spread of the virus. In this case, the virus could infect your other belongings.
