yellowing of mask

Does anyone have any ideas on how to take care of a mask that is yellowing? I've only had my mask for 2.5 months and the plastic is starting to yellow. I clean it everyday and use vinager once a week.

Hi teach,

I did a Search for "yellow and silicone". Came up with this old topic, but I didn't see anything mentioned that would make the yellow become clear again or prevent yellowing:

Thank you rested gal. I read the links and at least feel better about using it. I'll keep researching if there is anything else that can be done. Teach

When you store your mask is it near anything else?
If I store my scuba diving mask with the rest of my equipment the silicon part of the mask will yellow.

It doesn't affect the performance of it just changes the color.
