facemasks
Protective face coverings
Facemasks are coverings worn over the nose and mouth.
Medical facemasks filter airborne particles and became ubiquitous during the COVID-19 pandemic, when wearing a facemask in public was variously mandated, recommended, or contested.
Specialized facemasks serve other purposes: surgeons wear them to maintain sterile conditions, athletes wear protective facemasks in contact sports, and skincare facemasks are applied to cleanse or hydrate the skin.
The singular form is more common: Don't forget your facemask.
