Don't worry about the face marks. Yes, you'll probably get them from time to time but they're kind of like normal sleep marks; they go away within a short period of time. By the time you get to work, they'll be gone. Watch the bridge of your nose though, I occasionally will get a real red spot there which if I'm not careful will turn into a raw sore. The use of a small bandaid at night will always allow it heal up real quick (couple of days). Good luck, stay in touch.
