A face mask cut from a sheet of foamed resin material has slits cut near each end shaped to curve inwardly in a U shape. The ends of the mask conform approximately to the U shape of the slits so that the material between the slits and the ends of the mask forms a pair of U-shaped ear loops. The ear loops are bendable in a one-half turn so that the U shapes extend outwardly away from the central portion of the mask for resiliently looping over the ears of the wearer to hold the mask in place.
