Can sunscreen degrade mask filtration?
This might sound like a silly question and I’m a little embarrassed that I haven’t asked sooner since I’ve been wondering this for a while.
Since you’re not supposed to spray the inside of your mask with alcohol, I was wondering if skincare products like sunscreen (the one I use has alcohol denat. listed in the ingredients) sound affect how well my masks work?
I let my sunscreen dry before donning my mask.
I wear either KN95 or N95s.
Thanks everyone.
