A self warming mask is disclosed. The self warming mask includes a facing layer configured to cover at least a portion of a person's face. Attached to the facing layer is at least one thermal delivery pad. The thermal delivery pad contains an exothermic composition. Once the mask is removed from a sealed package, air contacts the thermal delivery pad causing the mask to elevate in temperature . The thermal delivery pad can be constructed so that the rise of temperature and the length of time the mask remains heated is carefully controlled. The mask product can be used in combination with a fragrance or vapor delivery device for also releasing a fragrance, a vapor, or both as the mask is heated. In one embodiment, the fragrance or vapor delivery device can be attached and removed to the mask as a user desires.

What is claimed: 1. A warming mask product comprising: a sealed package; a mask having a shape configured to cover at least a portion of a person's face defining a first eye opening spaced from a second eye opening, the mask comprising at least one thermal delivery pad, the thermal delivery pad comprising an exothermic composition contained in a sealed compartment, the compartment comprising a gas permeable polymer film, the sealed compartment having a first side configured to face a user and a second and opposite side, the gas permeable polymer film being present only at the second side, the mask further comprising a facing layer located on the first side of the sealed compartment, the facing layer defining an exterior surface configured to contact a user's face, the exterior surface comprising a textile material; and wherein, once the sealed package is opened air passes through the gas permeable polymer film and reacts with the exothermic composition thereby releasing heat. 2. A warming mask product as defined in claim 1, wherein the sealed compartment reaches an elevated temperature when removed from the sealed package, the elevated temperature being at least 38° C. 3. A warming mask product as defined in claim 2, wherein the elevated temperature is from about 40° C. to about 45° C. 4. A warming mask as defined in claim 1, wherein the exothermic composition comprises an oxidizable metal. 5. A warming mask as defined in claim 4, wherein the oxidizable metal comprises iron, an alloy thereof, or an oxide thereof. 6. A warming mask product as defined in claim 4, wherein the oxidizable metal comprises zinc, aluminum, magnesium, alloys thereof, or mixtures thereof. 7. A warming mask product as defined in claim 4, wherein the exothermic composition further comprises water. 8. A warming mask product as defined in claim 2, wherein, when removed from the sealed package, the thermal delivery pad is configured to stay at the elevated temperature for at least about 15 minutes. 9. A warming mask product as defined in claim 2, wherein, when removed from the sealed package, the thermal delivery pad is configured to stay at the elevated temperature for at least about one hour. 10. A warming mask product as defined in claim 1, the mask further including a forehead portion positioned over the eye openings and cheek portions that extend down from the eye openings and are configured to border the nose of a wearer. 11. A warming mask product as defined in claim 10, wherein the mask product includes a first thermal delivery pad and a second thermal delivery pad, the first thermal delivery pad partially encircling the first eye opening and the second thermal delivery pad partially encircling the second eye opening. 12. A warming mask product as defined in claim 10, wherein the mask product includes a single thermal delivery pad, the thermal delivery pad extending over the eye openings and into the cheek portions. 13. A warming mask product as defined in claim 1, further comprising a strap configured to secure the mask to a head of a user. 14. A warming mask product as defined in claim 1, further comprising a body adhesive present on the facing layer for securing the mask to a face of a user. 15. A warming mask product as defined in claim 14, wherein the body adhesive comprises a hydrogel. 16. A warming mask product as defined in claim 1, further comprising an outer cover layer, the at least one thermal delivery pad being positioned in between the outer cover layer and the facing layer. 17. A warming mask product as defined in claim 1, further comprising a vapor or fragrance delivery device that includes an attachment device for attaching the vapor or fragrance delivery device to the mask. 18. A warming mask product as defined in claim 17, wherein the vapor or fragrance delivery device is configured to be attached to the mask after the mask is removed from the sealed package. 19. A warming mask product as defined in claim 17, wherein the attachment device comprises mechanical hooks or an adhesive. 20. A warming mask product as defined in claim 17, wherein the vapor or fragrance delivery device comprises a substrate containing a vapor or fragrance composition, the vapor or fragrance composition releasing a vapor, a fragrance, or both as the thermal delivery pad is heated. 21. A warming mask product as defined in claim 1, wherein the mask includes a first exterior surface configured to contact a user's face and a second and opposite exterior surface, the second and opposite exterior surface including at least one design element configured to improve the aesthetic appeal of the mask. 22. A warming mask product as defined in claim 1, wherein the mask includes a first exterior surface configured to contact a user's face and a second and opposite exterior surface, the second exterior surface including an indicia for indicating that the user is sick. 23. A warming mask product as defined in claim 22, wherein the indicia comprises a color, a pattern, a design, or a logo. 24. A warming mask product as defined in claim 17, wherein the vapor or fragrance delivery device is removable from the mask. 25. A warming mask product as defined in claim 1, wherein at least one gas impermeable strip is removably affixed to the gas permeable polymer film. 26. A warming mask product comprising: a sealed package containing a mask, the mask having a shape configured to cover at least a portion of a person's face, the mask comprising at least one thermal delivery pad, the thermal delivery pad comprising an exothermic composition contained in a sealed compartment, the compartment comprising a gas permeable polymer film, the thermal delivery pad having a first side configured to face a user and a second and opposite side the mask further comprising a facing layer located on the first side of the thermal delivery pad, the facing layer defining an exterior surface configured to contact a user's face including a first eye opening spaced from a second eye opening; a vapor or fragrance delivery device that includes an attachment device for attaching the vapor or fragrance delivery device to the mask, the vapor or fragrance delivery device being configured to be attached to the mask after the mask has been removed from the sealed package; and wherein, once the sealed package is opened and the vapor and fragrance delivery device is attached to the mask, air passes through the gas permeable polymer film and reacts with the exothermic composition thereby releasing heat. 27. A warming mask product as defined in claim 26, wherein the sealed compartment reaches an elevated temperature when removed from the sealed package, the elevated temperature being at least 38° C. 28.
