REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Applic. No. 60/772,385, filed Feb. 10, 2006, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002]The invention is directed to protective coverings for use in tanning beds and in particular. More particularly, the invention is directed to a protective facial cover. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003]Tanning using artificial light leads to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. For a variety of reasons, a person may wish some parts of the body to be exposed to a certain amount of UV radiation but to reduce or eliminate UV exposure to other parts. [0004]For example, when tanning using indoor tanning equipment, it may be desirable for certain people to restrict exposure of a person's face to ultraviolet radiation. One such reason would be that the person desires to limit ultraviolet radiation exposure to reduce the potential of developing wrinkles. Another reason would be that the person has applied cosmetics to the face. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005]An embodiment of the invention is directed to a covering for a person's face. The covering has the shape of a bonnet with a generally oval main section. The back of the covering defines an opening with an elastic band around its periphery for securing the covering to the face. A peripheral edging extends outwardly from the elastic band. Two ties extend from the periphery of the opening to allow the covering to be secured around the wearer's head by connecting the ties at the back of the head. [0006]Another embodiment of the invention is directed to a covering for male genitalia. The covering has the shape of a bag with an opening having a drawstring enclosure and drawstring. An adjustable clasp mechanism is disposed on the drawstring to allow the size of the opening to be adjusted. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0007]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of protective facial cover according to an embodiment of the invention. [0008]FIG. 2 is a top view of the protective facial cover. [0009]FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the protective facial cover. [0010]FIG. 4 is a front view of the protective facial cover over a person's face. [0011]FIG. 5 is a top view of a protective genital cover according to an alternative embodiment of the invention. [0012]FIG. 6 is a front view of protective genital cover. [0013]FIG. 7 is a side view of protective genital cover. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0014]An embodiment of the invention is directed to a protective facial cover, as illustrated at 20 in FIGS. 1-4. The protective facial cover 20 is placed over a person's face to protect the person's face from exposure to ultraviolet radiation when other portions of the person's body are exposed to ultraviolet radiation such as when using indoor tanning equipment. [0015]The protective facial cover includes a main section 22 and a peripheral section 24. The main section 22 may be formed with an oval or round shape to generally conform to the shape of a person's face who is wearing the protective facial cover 20. [0016]A peripheral section 24 generally extends around the main section 22 to define a partially enclosed region 25. Forming the protective facial cover 20 with the main section 22 and the peripheral section 24 facilitates not only covering the portions of the person's face where skin is exposed but also facilitates retaining the protective facial cover 20 in a stationary position with respect to the person's face during use. [0017]Proximate an edge of the peripheral section 24 that is opposite the main section, a resilient band 26 is attached to the peripheral section 24. The resilient band 26 further enhances the ability of the protective facial cover 20 to remain in a stationary position with respect to the person's face. [0018]At least one tie 29 extends from at least one of the main section 22 and the peripheral section 24. In one embodiment, there are two ties 29 and the ties 29 are formed with a length that permits the ties 29 to extend around the person's head and then tied together. The at least one tie 29 thereby further enhances the ability to retain the protective facial cover 20 in a stationary position with respect to the person's face.
