touching face
Fingers meet skin
Touching face describes the act of bringing one's hand into contact with one's own face—rubbing eyes, scratching nose, resting chin on palm.
The phrase gained prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, when public health officials urged people to avoid touching their faces to reduce virus transmission: I didn't realize how often I was touching my face until I tried to stop.
