The warm, moist air coming from the shower will condense to water droplets on contact with a cool mirror or bathroom window.
it is because when you take a warm or hot shower, then water that you are using condense it to the air & it covers the mirror of your bathroom.
When that happens, condensation is occurring. Condensation turns a gas in to a liquid. In this case the gas is the water vapor. When the cold mirror cools the water vapor and when the water vapor and the air next to the mirror becomes cool enough, it then changes to a gas into a liquid. That's why it becomes wet and fogged up.Is this something I can put on the mirrors to keep them from fogging up when I'm taking the shower The mirror becomes fogged due to the moisture that accumulates in the air due to the heat of the water. Soon it reaches dew point and condenses on cooler surfaces such as the mirror or window causing water to form.The hot water evaporates into steam. When the steam hits the cold surface of the mirror, it forms condensation. The condensation is what you see as the fog.Improvement.Steam is water in its gaseous phase, and is (like most gases) invisible. Steam only exists above the boiling point of water, so being immersed in true steam would cause near-instant death.What you see in the bathroom with a hot shower is fog: microscopically small droplets of liquid water.These will readily condense on any cool surface, but condensation on a shiny, smooth surface (the mirror) is the most noticeable.If you run your hand over a marble or laminated benchtop, you'll be able to see the track left behind in the water film.
Yes you can.
Have you tried closing the window?
because of condensation
Cold air holds less moisture than warm air. When you run the shower with hot water, the moisture condenses on the cold mirror surface causing it to fog up. If you run the shower cold, the mirror will not fog up.

They form after you wash, take a shower or take a bath because the steam that comes up from the hot water rises and sticks or clings to the mirror and they gather more evaporated water as they go.
When you take a shower the water droplets have a greater surface area then simply having the water sit in the tub as it does in a bath. The leads to increased evaporation. With more moisture in the air it is easier for condensation to occur on a cool surface such as a mirror.
take a mirror on go in the bath room and turn your back to the bathroom mirror and braid
You could use a bathroom and use hot water :)
you enter your bathroom and take a shower. that's how you take a bath. -Bob Howe

A concave mirror is used as a shaving mirror as it allows you to see yourself bigger than normal!
