There are masks that are supposedly fog free, with a protective coating built in. I use toothpaste or softscrub on my masks. I've had customers say the tooth paste didn't work, then offered to softscrub it.. last one said she'd softscrub it since I was busy, saw her add the softscrub and then rub it... like lotion on a baby, didn't do squat. I had to redo it. You've got to put a fair amount of pressure. Don't scrub a mask that has antifog pre-coated lenses though.
I have met divers that scrubbed the outside side of the lens and complain it didn't work. Something that some people don't realize is that suntan lotions, oils and even skin oils can recoat the inside of the lens and make it prone to fogging to where it needs to be re-scrubbed for traditional defogs to work.
