Windburn Effect


Posted by Fred on March 09, 2006 at 05:27:38:

I've been using a SNAPP mask (similar to a nasal pillow)for a little over a year and like it a lot. However, in the last couple of months I've been getting red cheeks from it (I suspect), which looks similar to wind burn. At first I thought the rosey cheeks made me look healthier, but now they're not going away and seem to be getting slowly worse. Has anyone else had this problem? Any advice? Thanks.
