Moreover, if the face shape or deep scar can not be used, the good air tightness can not be guaranteed, and the hair should not be stuck between the mask and the face, which will affect the sealing.

Then insert the thumb between the mask and the lower jaw, and gradually disengage from the lower jaw. When removing the lower mask, be very careful to prevent inhalation of harmful dust and other harmful substances attached to the surface of the mask.
