Default DIY anti-face-touching-device

Surely you need a smart phone attached to your face, most have a proximity
detector in them these days that tells when its moved away from the face and
puts it on speaker phone.

Alternatively, there are sheets of material that have one side magnetised,
you could use a hall effect detector chip and invert the output with one
transistor to drive a sounder. Trouble is you would need a lot of magnetic
material glued to your face.
Does anyone remember the Theromone? This used the capacity change by
moving your hands to control an oscillator so that you could make music with
it. Perhaps the same could be done for the face? of course painting your
face with silver conductive paint might be a drawback.

Thanks for that.
