The face masks give protection for a broken nose. Rip has had his nose broken 3 times and would have to undergo major surgery if it were broken again that could potentially be career ending, so, even though his nose has healed he wears it as a precaution. Also, he's stated in interviews that he wears the mask for good luck.

The reason Richard Hamilton wears a mask is because he wants to protect his self from a broken nose. He does not want to go through all those surgeries. He wears it for protection.

Usually it's because they got their nose broken. It's for protection.
