5 Ways to Keep Glasses From Fogging When Wearing a Mask

Newsweek says attaching a small tissue to the inside of the mask will absorb moisture that otherwise would find its way to the lenses.

The publication recommends placing a folded tissue at the top of your mask and taping it there.

Wash Your Glasses With Soapy Water Before Putting The Mask On

Soap and water glasses

Whether you are wearing glasses or sunglasses, the fog that you deal with on them when you wear a mask is quite annoying. And the way to combat this is to wash your lenses in soapy water first before putting your mask on. You can allow them to air dry or use a microfiber cloth to dry off. The glasses won’t fog up when you put them on with a face mask. The soap water leaves a thin film on the lenses that will prevent it from happening which is why.

Keep The Mask Sealed

Slide your glasses further down your nose

Take a piece of double-sided tape and place it across the bridge of your nose first, and then put your face mask on. This will create a seal that will prevent the air from going up to your glasses as you breathe out.

The Mask Needs To Fit Properly

Modify the mask to better fit your face

Quite often people will wear masks that don’t fit correctly, and if the mask is ill-fitting, it will cause the air to leak out quicker and fog up your glasses. You will want to look for masks that feature pieces that are moldable around the nose like a metal strip. And masks do come in various sizes.

Get Some Defogging Products
