Beautiful wonderful masks!
If only I could more easily hide my red hair. Then no one would recognize me.

I hate social interactions. Masks reduce the amount I need to talk to strangers. Also, cold weather + mask = warm face.
VibratingNipples
I hates wearing it because it make my beard itches like mad sometimes, but I still wear it because that what heroes do
Snooj
I can move my lips to the music I'm listening to without feeling self conscious any more. I love it.
IseeSmartphones
Got the Under Armor one. A tad expensive but the best way and look to live the Bane fantasy on the daily.
BecauseImBored1
Men don’t tell me to “smile” it’s great
omgilovepizza
I totally agree, masks are a social anxiety helper. Don’t have to acknowledge anyone, I’m gonna miss it tbh
thatsmyfetish69
Put on sunglasses, too. You’re basically invisible
sidneykarchie
AND for us Canadians it helps keep your face just a little bit warmer when you walk out of a store to your car ??
mtgjbone
Except some of us like red hair.....-goes back the shadows-
Mandaglorian
I like my hair, I just don’t like being recognized by it.
opusupo
I can now shave only every three days and no one notices! Most of my acne is covered, My inappropriate smiles are hidden. I love masks!
OmnibusLatinName
If I don't shave every day, my whiskers act like hooks. Every time I talk or open my mouth, my mask heads for my chin :( Back to the beard
Strawington
My teeth are super messed up, wearing a mask has made me feel soo much more comfortable in public, and it keeps my chin warm
dav3nasty
There’s always a hijab or some other head wrap or hat to hide your hair too.
Mandaglorian
It’s probably better than a hoody and sunglasses.
ricekickJR
Yea i like wearing the mask cuz its easier to word out "bitch" to someone infront of u without them knowing. Hah
VeryLongTimeLurker
I kind of like it also, I can and have managed to not be recognised by people, means I can just get on with shit and forget about idle chat
suchawiz6178
THIS!!! I’ve managed to avoid family in public lolololololololololol
Chort26
Love the masks. Always get more money from the bank teller for some reason.
Mandaglorian
I did have to go into a bank in May, it felt super weird wearing a mask.
PerkyPervertedPet
Imagine people got shoot before for just entering a bank with a mask.
Aloofgoof
I like masks, too. I work around a lot of cigarette smoke, and the masks have helped reduce the secondhand I breathe. I want them to stay.
hsyrnyk
Where do you work where you’re surrounded by cigarette smoke? I thought it was illegal everywhere.
Aloofgoof
I deal cards in a casino
thevortexmaster
Doesn't bother me so much but other than i use my smile a lot and you can't see it anymore
MeepZerg
Get into the habit of smiling in such a way that it moves your mask slightly. Most people will get it
thevortexmaster
I think my squinty eyes gives me away hahah
Mandaglorian
The eyes are where the smile shows for sure. I always found it a good way to tell how sincere a smile way.
ActuallyAPirate
I think they're cool, plus, it's getting cold round here, they keep your face warm
CthulhusGreasyBallsack
^ this so much. Especially when riding a bike in cold windy weather.
alex91093
It made me less uncomfortable when I had to buy plan b
ZeLittleRev
Makes it easier to ignore the random people you went to high school with. They take the double take and bam! Gone!
SoGrosslyIncandescent
It's brought me one step closer to the full helmet wearing society I desire
darkassassinuk12
Hazmat society ?
AllMyFriendsAreHallucinations
asthmatic here. the mask actually really helps me with allergies and the cold humid weather. both are big triggers for me
suchawiz6178
Bro yeah! The cold air fucks my lungs up big time, and hiking over the spring/summer was amazing with allergy protection.
hadtochangeusernameforreasons
I noticed that it helped with allergies as well
RelartOfGivia
I don't have to shave regularly. I do intermittent fasting and have bad breath when stomach is empty. No more worries about that.
tazedconfused
Fuck. Whatever. Others. Think. I dyed my hair purple two weeks ago on a whim. Im a 39 year old male. Straight. Middle fingers to everyone.
anyway188136
You rock!
sordatos
Ok, but what does that have to do with masks?
outtaleftfield
Think it’s more in reference to OP’s Red hair part of the comment than masks
suchawiz6178
pinkmilkyway
Ok, but what does that have to do with middle fingers to everyone?
WeirdSpaceWizrd
Yes! My mask swaddles me. I love it. Add sunglasses and a beanie and you’re incognito.
MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
Mine keeps me warm at work :)
derJake
This plus my bicycle helmet makes me feel like a knight in armor at times.
BlueTyphoon
I one time drew a scifi HUD on some clear tape over my glasses when I was a kid. couldn't see but I sure felt "cool" so I get it!
derJake
Don't give me ideas! I still got some yellow bicycle glasses lying around, that I never could get myself to wear.
laboon
does the opposite for me. stresses me the hell out but i still wear it.
MsSaraTonin
I LOVE MASKS - but have had to learn to read people by eye squints/furrowed brows
Bulmero8
Doesn't work for me, nothing hides my 7 pounds of pink hair
Skeletron11
I too have a similar problem, I have cyber peacock coloured hair - everyone still knows its me buying that litre of gin in my small town ?
DangerousNoodle
I stopped wearing makeup due to masks, my face has broken out more and has more oil, wtf.
sordatos
I think there are products for that, you might be having an allergic reaction
DangerousNoodle
But I will 100% continue, probably even after! Kind of like my face being hidden from people I may know.
suchawiz6178
I 100% recommended going back to old school noxzema. My chin was breaking out like crazy, then I decided to try that out again and BAM!
somebodythatyouusetoknow
I wish it helped my anxiety. It makes me feel more trapped personally. Still wear it, just looking forward to not needing to any more.
Mandaglorian
I think of it more like a security blanket.
suchawiz6178
Think about how much less you’re being stared at, though. The breathing thing is in your head, but the no-staring is real. I looooove how../
suchawiz6178
Much less often random people talk to me, especially if I’m somewhere I can wear sunglasses as well. Pop on a hat and everyone can fuck off.
volcanoduck
No need to smile anymore!
nalananda
Lol, but that makes me smile
Skeletron11
Wonder how those people who tell people 'you'd look prettier if you smiled' have been doing this year?
SparkleTwinkleTitts
I actually find I’m smiling BIGGER. when the cashier hands me my bags, I have to smile so big it hits my eyes; I swear it makes me happier
APerfectlyNormalPieceOfToast
It should do real smiles make you release hormones that make you feel happier, which is why smiling is great for your mental health :)
TeelMoobeel
Buy one of those masks with a photo of you smiling on it, never have to smile again!
batmanfreak64
I can talk to myself and no one can tell, it’s my anxiety
oksuggestions
Hell yeah, I've been loving that aspect specifically
batmanfreak64
Only thing is though, I smile knowing damn well no one can see me, I’m like, dammit
MrInternationalWorldwide
My skin has been really bad after wearing masks all day. Still going to wear one because I'm not a freedom bitch.
DoubleDonut
What's helped me is the griminess I feel from wearing a mask all day has motivated me to wash my face regularly at night.
nellaella
Anti acne moisturiser helps keep the bacteria at bay for me x
Ocek
You are a freedom bitch because you believe in people's freedom to live.
Raeke
Same and same
GrandpaRickCanProveYouAreShit
RaventsTrinity
Mine too. My acne left in college and the maskne is back with a vengeance.
GrowlingCat
Same, I break out a lot using masks. Feels like revisiting my teenage years. Still I wear one every time I go out :)
idontwanadothispart
I feel your pain
GhostPussy
Word on the street is the silk ones are better for your skin.... I just ordered some
mudstew
I bought silk pillowcases recently and my skin cleared up drastically. I highly recommend silk
LeftistCoastalElite
I prefer my freedom thanks.
LeftistCoastalElite
/s so I don't get downvoted.
Autittuderp
Ugh, that super sucks.
BobHubert
Same. Big acne spike but I just upped the medicine I used and now the inside of my mask is bleached
BakerOne
How do masks make your skin bad?
DancingSwine
Constant moisture from breathing create a cool environment for bacteria
philosoraptopterodactyl
Same, plus while wearing glasses i get extra heat build up and my eyes are basically sweating all day.
BossyQT
If the nose part fits properly, that's less of a problem. I didn't notice it until I changed brands of masks, fit makes a huge difference.
MyCommentsUsuallyHaveTypos
That's called Maskne. Look up Under The Mask's brand of Maskne soothing spray.
polarbearbaby
Have you tried one made of silk?
NarratesTheDarkerStory
my OCD is to pick at skin imperfections, no matter how small, present during stress, more stress, more picking. I usually have scars all¹

NarratesTheDarkerStory
damndest thing, I wear a neck gaiter for 9 months, stress gone, imperfections ignored, almost no scars left. so positive note for my 2020.
ahrrie
Same. 9 hours a day 5 days a week. Not including the off hours when I need to go out somewhere for stuff. My skin is horrible. But I wear it
wombatmcgee
Also an all day mask wearer. I swap masks for a clean one halfway through the day, plus I use a cleansing toner when I make the swap.
ilovefunsocks
Yea my skin is super unhappy, still wearing them
NyanDroid
Then it's too tight, try to adjust it and have ones with longer straps
babybeaver
The occlusion of a hot and wet (from talking/sweating) environment is what often causes it. Wearing a mask for an entire shift will do that.
NyanDroid
I wear a mask all day as well since my mother is immune challenged
NyanDroid
That's true too, just shared how I resolved my problem...
GirlzGoneMild
Silk mask and a couple drops of tee tree oil when you was them
ThanosTheGreat
I have 8 masks. 1 for each day. And then 1 to wear while others are being washed and dried. Cycle and repeat. No bad skin problems.
Billybologna
Washing them every day really helps, I have enough for every day of the week and then wash them in the sink and set them to dry over night.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
@mrinternationalworldwide: "freedom bitch" is not going to persuade people. i tell them i wear a mask FOR freedom, so the gov doesn't shut
Memaleph
I thought it's 4 hours max per mask. Then they're saturated in humidity and inefficient. + it's bacteria culture. Wash them hot enough >
Memaleph
not only for covid (soap is enough) but also for all the other microbes and virus etc.
Billybologna
That’s fair but for where I live one mask a day has been fine. But I won’t stop anyone from using 2 a day
traumaqueen19
Try these. They help a lot!! 3D Bracket for Face Mask 10PCS... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FRD28K9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
suchawiz6178
See, now THOSE look uncomfortable.
BreisZeldaFitzgerald
They aren't.
traumaqueen19
They’re not ideal but they’re an improvement. I’ve found they don’t attach to my mask well. May need to adapt them
mish7765
No, I sew them inside my cloth masks, SO much more comfortable and breathable. Can go through washing machine.
suchawiz6178
Asking because I want some.
suchawiz6178
Is the plastic hard? Does it help the mask fit better against your face?
mish7765
The plastic smooth and bendy and holds mask away from mouth which feels less smothering
Mandaglorian
Admittedly I don’t wear one all day. Just for errands. Thank you for taking one for the team.
FrozenCoast
I wear one (actually several) all day at the hospital I work at. I was really breaking out under the mask for the first couple of months.
Muttons1337
Masks forced me to touch my face less, so my breakouts went to essentially zero
Mandaglorian
I worked in a lab for a while. Double masks all day were the worst.
FrozenCoast
My skin seems to have adapted the higher humidity now.
