I was going to post this in the actors area, but thought many of you may be able to utilize a fun solution that dawned on me for the dreaded swamp mask (very similar to swamp a$$ depending on which end you use for your head). You know, when you are sweating and breathing in a mask and it builds up a nice gross layer of sweat.
We do a lot of face paint in our haunt, but still use a few masks in key areas and with that comes the actor discomfort with sweat and cold air.
So, female thin liners for underoos work out awesome for absorbing moisture (Thin Panty Liners are not just for the ladies anymore). They are great to use as the thin ones are nice and soft on the skin, do not make the mask to tight, and already have a self adhesive back to stick on the chin area of the mask or the neck. I even put them on the forehead portion of the mask to keep the sweat off my sunken scary brow.
Just got back from Wally's World and got their Equate version for around $4.00 for over a hundred of them. Seems like a good way to keep the actors happy and dry. I have a feeling the mask may stay on the head a little longer as well.
So, keep dry and make your customers cry!
