There are several options - most are to make aspects of the mask mesh/or put holes in to allow ventelation. But depending on the mask type/cosplay it's for this may or may not be useful You can buy sprays that you spray inside but I've never found them that useful personally |

If this doesn't help you may need to consider making holes in it for the mouth area. I have also heard of people putting gauze on the back of their masks to help soak up any condensation produced but depending on how long you want to wear it and how thick the gauze is it could get saturated pretty quickly Also the eyes in the one you've linked are cut open. If this isn't the case for yours consider cutting eye holes and filling with black mesh |

Some sponges can space it from your face a little better, which means less plastic touching your actual skin. __________________ CosplayIsland Staff Member |
