Water is a very small molecule, so moisture escaping through your mask doesn't mean other things are also escaping.
You can find explanations of how masks work on the internet pretty easily, like here for example https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/11/fact-check-n-95-filters-not-too-large-stop-covid-19-particles/5343537002/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/11/fac...
