face mask

Worn over mouth

A face mask is a covering worn over the nose and mouth.

Medical masks filter airborne particles; cloth masks became ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cosmetic face masks are skincare treatments applied to cleanse or moisturize.

In sports like football and hockey, a face mask is the protective cage attached to a helmet.
