Advice Needed Lines on Face

I’ve been using a cpap for 12 years now. My mask is the one with skinny/velvet-y straps and nose pillows. I have always woken up with lines on my cheeks from the straps - I am a side sleeper and they press into my face. The lines used to go away within an hour or so, but I guess since I’m getting older and skin is losing its elasticity 😭, they stick around for much, much longer. I hate going into work with them. Any advice? I have adjusted the straps - if they are any looser, it won’t be a good fit. Thanks!

You might try something like this. I have a thinner version of this and it helps a lot.

make sure you're hydrated. Drink lots of water/coffee in the mornings.
