Disclosed are improved face shields that comprise a piece of flexible, liquid-impervious, transparent film that has adhered thereto an elongate strip of a liquid-absorbent material. The face shield is adapted to be held in place between the worker's forehead and the rim of a hat, for example, a baseball cap, painter's hat or surgical hat. When in place, the liquid-absorbent material contacts the forehead of the worker and helps to hold the face shield in place. In addition, the flexible liquid-absorbing member absorbs perspiration coming from the worker's forehead. The face shield cantilevers in a self-supporting manner outward and downward from the rim of the hat thereby protecting the worker's face from deposits of airborne liquid (e.g., airborne liquid such as paint, texture spray, or bodily fluids) or from airborne particulate (e.g., sanding dust). Together with the hat, the face shield of the invention provides protection for both the top of the head and the face of the worker.
