full mask

Entire face concealment

A full mask covers the entire face, as opposed to a half mask covering only the nose and mouth or eyes alone.

In diving and snorkeling, a full mask provides an unobstructed field of vision and often allows breathing through the nose.

In theater and costuming, a full mask conceals the wearer's identity completely: The actors performed in full masks depicting ancient gods.
