face masks

Pandemic facial shields

Face masks are coverings worn over the nose and mouth.

Medical masks protect against airborne pathogens or prevent spreading infection to others: Masks were mandatory during the pandemic.

Face masks also include cosmetic treatments—sheets or creams applied to cleanse or moisturize skin: She does a face mask every Sunday night.
