Robber's facial concealment
A black mask is a facial covering, typically dark-colored, worn for concealment or disguise.
Burglars and robbers in popular imagination wear black masks.
In superhero fiction, a black mask often preserves a hero's secret identity: The vigilante wore a black mask.
Black masks also appear in skincare—charcoal-based treatments for extracting impurities from pores.
