Muslim women aren't required by faith to cover the whole face either, that part is cultural. The requirement is Khimar, a cloth that covers the head, neck, and chest. Clothes that aren't snug against the body (goes for both men and women), or are in any way see-through.

Men do have some restrictions as well, the bare minimum is being covered from above the belly button to just above the ankles.
