The problem I can see re pulling down masks rather than removing it from one ear is the strain it puts on the elastic. If you are asked to do this several times when you are out, it could stretch or even snap it. I have yet to find a mask that is really comfortable.
The only time people are asked to show their features is to make sure they are of legal age to buy age restricted goods so how many times they buy those in a day is the question as one should use a clean mask each day?
I think you'll find that PharmaT is better qualified than most of us to comment on how to use a face mask.
I don't think you need qualifications on what I stated earlier, common sense only as I don't see any problem pulling it down with finger & thumb for about 3 - 5 seconds or do without your alcohol, cigs, lighter, medication...
