Ok I have found a few advantages of wearing a mask! So I am starting off with:
1. Not having to pull the stray hairs out of my chin ?

As others have mentioned, I don’t need to wear lipstick, hairy chin and upper lip are for my eyes only and that piece of lettuce on the teeth is well hidden. I quite like hiding behind my mask. Oh and on cold days in winter it keeps me warm.

Keeping my face warm and dry. Not having to worry that I missed any stray hairs on my chin. My daughter got carded twice once buying wine and a pair of secateurs she was thrilled she's 38 .

The stray hairs a constant problem and my horrid teeth are covered. I am not in a rush to ditch.

With that lot on there’s bugger all else to see, is there. ?

Nope, could be very flattering!

Although I may still look like a mushroom.

Mouthing obscenities to ignorant oiks that come too close or don’t wear a mask without fearing for my life.

My pharmacist said I didn't look anywhere near my age. He could only see my eyes!

I can glare and swear, albeit silently, when some ** person runs their trolley into me because their glasses have steamed up!

AGAA4, Please will you share your solution to steamed up glasses ? My misty specs drive me mad !

Big sunnies and a mask hide a multitude of sins ❤️

Waiting for a new top plate mine is giving me jip so can go out in the UK without them in
Apart from that they can go into the nearest bin

Now I have sorted the steamed up glasses situation I quite like wearing a mask for all the reasons listed above.

Losing a front crown, and not being able to get into the Dentist.

I can yawn in church without worrying the minister may think he is boring me.

With sunglasses or a hat you can sometimes avoid people you can’t be bothered stopping to talk to in the supermarket….

Bridie22 Tue 06-Jul-21 15:17:42

Kept my nose warm all winter.

If you’ve eaten garlic you don’t need to worry about breathing garlic fumes on people the following day.

JulieNoted, that’s exactly what I was thinking! ??

JulieNoted Tue 06-Jul-21 15:11:48

I can mutter to myself and no-one knows.

PurpleStar Tue 06-Jul-21 15:10:58

Better still they hide a massive hot flush ?

PurpleStar Tue 06-Jul-21 15:10:19

Not having to "panic" pluck rogue moustache hairs!

Callistemon Tue 06-Jul-21 15:07:52

A sunhat, sunglasses and a mask can take 15+ years off you!

Esspee Tue 06-Jul-21 15:06:26

I was chatted up for the first time in 15 years. Just shows it is my face that puts men off. ?

Not putting makeup on before I go out. May be a bit of a shock for anyone who sees me at home!
