Sweat, Plus Full Face Mask

I use a FFM, currently a medium size ResMed AirFit F10.

I am prone to sweating and have oily skin, both of which disturb the mask after it's been on me a while. I always wash my face before putting on the mask.

Is there something I can do prior to putting on my mask to reduce the impact of the sweating? Like baby powder?

I have ordered some liners but am still waiting.

Maybe some sort of astringent after the nightly wash??

I would cut a T shirt to cover the mask and put a hole in it to breath through. The cloth is between your face and the mask, held in place by the pressure of the straps. The leakage through the material must be less than a full beard, so should be low enough. The sweat and oil should just make it leak less.

I have no idea if this would work, but it seems worth a try. IIRC padacheek has things like this.

If you like the t shirt as Pool suggested, you might try the padacheek liners. They are a good product. You can also use the Rezzz liners. They are disposable, but in the long run, can be quite expensive.

What humidity level are you using? I found higher humidity makes me sweat a lot.

Wife and I have to keep the room temp on the cooler side(around 70) because we both sweat if get too hot. I also use Witch Hazel to clean my face before masking up, these two things have helped me a bunch. Also I have noticed that if I have a higher setting on my humidity my face gets oily under my mask...its something you just have to experiment with .

Somebody mentioned Remzzz. I use them and have good luck with them. I wash used Remzzz in a laundry bag as others have suggested but I don't bother to iron them. I simply put a couple of clean dinner plates on the kitchen table and then take the Remzzz out of the washing machine (no dryer) and spread them out flat on the plates, each plate holds about six Remzzz. In half a day they dry flat and don't require any ironing. Once dry, I stack them in a pile and put a heavy flat object like a book on top to keep the edges from curling. I just lift up the book and pull out a clean Remzzz. I've been using the same 30 for at least a year. Probably time to buy some more

One other thing I forgot to mention: I don't wash my used Remzzz every day. What I do every morning is use a squirt bottle of rubbing alcohol on the one I just used, I get the cloth wet, then pat up the any drips with a paper towel. Again, I flatten it on a tiny plate on my bedstand and the alcohol drys out in a few hours. This gets me by for about three of four days on one Remzzz - then they go in the washing machine. It takes me less than 20 seconds every morning. I think why some people's Remzzzs get threadbare and frayed is because going thru too many wash cycles in a machine wears them out. Like I said, mine last a year or so. BTW, Remzzz are cut from baby jersey cloth made of cotton, they are very soft and comfortable. I think Remzzz company is still offering free samples.
