I touch my face a lot. Some of it has to do with being self-concious, but it's usually influenced by what I'm doing. If my attention is rapt while learning, watching something, listening, etc., I touch my lips and nose alot. And it's a TERRIBLE and specific habit. It's usually with my middle and ring fingers pressed together, and with just the tips of those fingers I press against my lips and then my nose, and back and forth and back and forth. It's SO odd but I've done this, or something very similar to this, since I was a kid. Similarly, I'll press my thumb lightly against my lips/nose while my pointer and middle fingers play around with my cheek.
I'ts an idiosyncrasy in the strictest sense, because I've never seen anyone doing anything remotely like it.
