w00t! Kept my mask on all night for the first time but....

[Favabean]

I was very excited, the night wasn't perfect -- my big pie-hole of a mouth kept opening up and leaking -- but I expected that.

I was so excited, until I looked in the mirror....

I have a new perfectly triangular line of of rash or zits around my nose and over the bridge of my nose -- basically everywhere my mask touches.

Is this to be expected or am I having some kind of reaction to the mask material - -any ideas?

If you haven't done so yet, soak the part of the mask that touches your face in warm soapy water for 45-60 minutes (soak, not rinse).
Take it apart if there are parts you shouldn't soak, otherwise, just soak the whole mask.
