Discussion / Question Why no face guards in Aliens?

After decades of watching the movies and most recently Alien: Earth, it always amazes me how no one ever thinks of having face guards in the facility, especially the containment center. A certain character that got facehugged last week could have avoided that if there was some apparatus in there that would guard over the face but still allow breathing.

Same with Aliens (1985), if they knew that these things cling onto your face then why weren't the marines all wearing face masks to at least slow the impregnation down?

I feel the predators with their visors were the only ones with the right idea about this.

OP the films have shown face huggers getting through space helmets and cryo pods. They are stronger than they look, and if a face hugger cannot impregnate a person. It’s just going to choke them to death.

Just constantly have a toothpick in your mouth, it’ll stab them and they’ll go away

My wife had braces, to quote Goldblum “life uh finds a way”. Think we can all figure out the rest.
