I live in Pennsylvania so most of my dives are dry. I use a drysuit and dry hood for diving with a conventional mask. After about a minute I don’t mind the cold as what little face area that might be exposed goes numb rather quickly.


Years ago we would put Vaseline on the exposed area. The theory was that it would keep the area dry and warm. I never really saw any benefit to it though. Besides, vaseline is not good for the silicone mask skirt. Most people who I know just put up with it.
