Red face
Red face
Keep waking up with a red face. This stupid mask has been forced on me by Isleep through work. It hasn't improved my sleep at all and just keeps me up irritated. Despite daily cleaning and different masks, my face is bright red now and it seems permanent. Any thoughts?

Don't overtighten it, it should 'hover', not dig in, and wiping with an ice cube in the a.m. should help the red marks.

Find your model of mask on youtube and watch some videos on fitting and adjusting.Queerpaps wrote: ↑Thu Oct 20, 2022 10:41 pmKeep waking up with a red face.

If that doesn't solve the problem, try a homemade or commercially made mask liner - https://www.google.com/search?q=reusabl ... s-wiz-serp

Re: Red face
Aw, dawg, I know you can be more helpful . . .

Edit: Oh, wait! do you mean the red frowny face on the machine,
that indicates excessive leak?
Or do you mean the face on the front of your head?
Either way--same solution.
Watch mask adjustment videos--tighter is not better.
It can even cause leaks and soreness.
