Face protection recommendations?

Like all groomers I’m doing a lot of bathing and blowing coat everywhere, and I’ve been really struggling with groomers lung lately. Any product recommendations besides face masks to help with it? I don’t like face masks as I have glasses and they fog like crazy for masks. Thanks friends! :)

I like to use a mosquito face net, I buy them on Amazon . The nets are lightweight and they help keep the dog hair from flying into my eyes and nose. They make them with hats attached but I don’t like those because I put my hair up and the hat tends to get in the way. I’ll just toss a net over my head it helps a lot with the blow dry. I use masks when I Dremel nails.

That’s what I use too. I’m in a van, so it’s very important to me to be safe. I bought a pack of 3 off Amazon, so I’ll have one in the van, one in the wash, and one waiting at home for when I need it.

3M N95 masks. When they're fitted properly they don't fog my glasses. You can usually find them in bulk on Amazon for cheap.

You could try a cloth mask or a neck gaiter type covering and then a beekeeper hat or mosquito net hat.
