Washing your hands doesn't require your hands remain soaped up as you go about your day. "Washing hands" takes a few seconds, then it's over. Your analogy doesn't work.

Nobody knows you washed your hands 2 minutes ago, but everyone knows you put a mask on 2 minutes ago because your face is covered, and your words are muffled.
