Mask use and directions

Halloween masks are usually made of either soft latex rubber or Latex (Do not wear if you are allergic to either, or if a skin rash or allergic symptoms occur)

Putting on your mask - Place your hands inside the mask and carefully stretch it side to-side to avoid putting any pressure on the features,. then as you pull it down over your head, remove your hands, make any adjustments and you're done. Do not use if you are allergic to latex. If the mask is uncomfortable around the eyes carefully remove, turn inside out and trim around the eye holes but be very careful. To enable a realistic mask more movement and expression, apply spirit gum to your cheek and chin areas.

If your latex mask is mis-shapen or flatttened due to packing - Carefully heat the mask with warm air, steam, and allow it to reform to its original shape.

If your mask is too big then you can add packing to the inside to fill it out using foam or a simular material

Masks are usually made from latex or vinyl which disintegrate naturally over time (See mask care), this is a natural proccess that is unavoidable. Some masks deteriorate quicker than others due to there content, ie: 100% latex masks will deteriorate faster. most rips or tears in masks can be repaired with liquid latex and gauze on the inside of the mask. 

IMPORTANT - Please check before you purchase that you are NOT allergic to Latex. as Latex masks may cause an allergic reaction. Please discontinue use at once if you have an allergic reaction
