Wouldnt it mean touching the mask? Whenever I put on, take off, or adjust the mask, I touch my mask. But not my face. And if youre talking about the mask touching youre face where your hands touched it, that happens every time I put it on. Probably the same for most people. Which would mean that theyd be real useless, and more dangerous. Though, like I said, youll be touching the mask instead of your face...

Ideally, yeah, you'll only be touching the mask, but in practice it's very easy to accidentally go beyond its edges and touch your face, or to touch the edges of the mask such that they transfer the contamination to your face. You're also directly contaminating the outside of the mask by touching it, increasing the likelihood of something seeping through it (especially after you've had it on for a while and it's getting damp). It's not as bad as directly touching your face, but it's still best to avoid if you can.
