This will be my second mask of this type. The first one got very sticky where my face touches, can this be avoided by cleaning... with what?

You can use a citrus based solvent remover. I find turtle wax sticker remover in an aerosol can do the trick. Then you can wipe the oil/smell off with 70% proof alcohol, if the citrus oil smell bothers you.

I clean mine after wearing it with a wet wipe, lysol wipe, baby wipe--whatever is handy. Since I remove my mask a few times a day, I wipe it down then let it dry. No problems with stickiness.

I'm not sure what you mean by sticky. I put it on my freshly cleansed face, after I've used toner, serum and moisturing cream. I need to keep the moisture in my skin. It goes on smoothly and looks great. My face feels moist and not tacky, but hey, that's just me. I'd be really unhappy if it left me feeling dry. I'm extremely pleased with this and it is a great base for my makeup, which is relatively simple. Blush and contour powder goes on smoothly over it, as does eye makeup.

I agree with the others. I have used this mask since 2003. I really love it. I found that the one that cover the mouth and nose, would actually cause my teeth to feel loose. Not good at all. I also use this with a chin strap to get the most out of it.

There shouldn't be any sticky residue if you've followed the instructions and removed the two layers. You may find the screen protector sticky for a day or two - just use the soft cloth provided to wipe it clean (don't use any soap or cleaning liquid) - within a day or two, you would find the touch normal and sticky feel would be gone.

Not sure what mask you are talking about however, it will protect your face from flying debris. If the metal is super hot it may make a mark in shield but it shouldn't get through. I use mine for wood turning and have had huge chunks of wood fly off the lathe and hit the face shield. My face was fine but it did crack the clear shield part, which you can get replacements for.

It's not super hot. I've tried a lot of different mask and I really like this one. I'm a mouth breather too and this works well for me. I have been hand washing to keep it clean and free from dust etc.

I have this grip & keep it on 99% of the time. I'll take it off to make sure it stays clean. It's been a wonderful piece of equipment! Highly suggest! Hope this helps!

I didn't have a problem with this. But you need to make sure you don't fasten your mask too tight - a common mistake.

If you have dry skin but breakouts/uneven complexion/large pores then yeah. But if your skin is fine other than being dry I wouldn't recommend it because it is drying. Use moisturizer after washing off the mask (with cleanser! It stinks after you remove it because sulfur) and put a thin layer of vaseline over the moisturizer. You really should only do it at night too, because it will make you more uv-sensitive.

I am not a professional but I would change mine everyday because of the germs on the outside of the mask, they could transfer to other places and things. I hope this might help you.

Mine were sticky at first. You HAVE to clean skin with alcohol before applying or they won't stick for very long. If yours are not sticking even after cleaning skin, then something's wrong with them. Return if you can or exchange. There a decent product esp. for price.

I have used the same mask several times when I've worn for a short period (I keep it on a ziploc bag). Otherwise, I would use it once if worn all day. You can also tell if they get dirty. Hope this helps.

I have oily skin, and even though I clean my face before going to bed, the mask gets oily by morning. So every night I quickly clean it with a mask wipe, which I purchase here on Amazon. It just takes a few seconds.

I have been having the same issue with mine, the manual suggests the use of adhesive tape to remove dust from the adhesive. I haven't tried it yet, will let you know what works, looking forward to replies on this post for other innovative ideas on cleaning...

Hey Jess,did you use moisturizer after cleaning your face before applying fake and bake?It will make it all even.You'll probly have to wait till it fades,if you want it to go away. Try washing your face again thou.

I noticed that, too, when I got mine, plus the chemical smell. Used it anyway and it just seems to go away after a while. And the stickiness doesn't get on skin.

I'm not sure what the manufacturer would recommend, but I would suggest a small amount of mild soap and water on a face cloth.
