Sometimes I wear a mask to keep the sun off my face or if there is a lot of pollen or dust outside.

I wear my respirator to mow the lawn when my allergies are bothering me. Gets some funny looks occasionally.
Just curious to understand how does a mask over your mouth keep the sun off of your face (presumably the eyes)?
Could be to stop sunburn. Hat with brim protects the top half, and keeps it out of the eyes. Mask protects the lower half.
Yep, I wear a hat and a mask. Keeps the sun off of most of my face.

Sometimes I forget the hat or the mask and then I just wear one.
