Mask riding up face
Just as the title suggest my mask keeps wanting to ride up my face during the night. I have a Resmed F20 full face and looking for ideas on how to stop it wanting to ride up my face and my lower lip wanting to break free. I wear a chin strap already

..... my similar experience concerning some points: cervical collor helps shut the mouth and teach you to mouth breathing, as well as prevent chin from retreat and loose > leaks;
.....adjustment is crucial: upper straps too short > mask shift upward; lower straps as tighter as possible; .....any two-day beard enhance leaks; .....any significant humidity (in particular that left when I wash the hose) enhances leaks.. good luck
