Splash goggles and a cotton scarf coated in fine pale dust.

Burning Man Goggles, Masks & Dust Gear

Eyes, lungs, and skin

The dust is a fine alkaline powder, closer to flour than dirt. Mesh goggles fill up. A scarf is fine for sun and a light breeze, and it isn't enough when you can't see the person next to you. Seal the eyes, keep a respirator in the bag, and blow the dust off the gear before the drive home.
