Here are 4 face masks hacks to stay comfortable

1.Sore ears are a common complaint for those who wear face masks for long periods of time. In order to avoid this, you can sew specially-placed buttons onto the surgical caps or any normal caps so that you can fasten the face masks directly onto the buttons instead of your ears

2.It is important to clean and disinfect your glasses. To sanitize your glasses, wash them with warm, soapy water and let them air dry daily. It also helps your glasses from fogging up when wearing a mask as the soap leaves behind a thin film that prevents mist from gathering on the lenses.

3.Another trick to help defog your glasses is to tape the edge of the mask down or adding a tissue underneath to create a tighter seal.
