Mike brought up some good pointers, if you do wear the mask a lot, be sure to completely wipe it out with a paper towel afterwards, and give it a light dusting of baby powder, or talc. This will keep moisture out, and will preserve the mask for a long time.
Tips for a future custom job, like I said, for the weathering use a watered down acrylic paint sponged on lightly, not too thick or the layer of paint could crack slightly. (no damage to the mask though) To get an overall dirty look, thin down the paint to a milk like consistancy, sponge it on thick, then instantly blot most of it off with a clean rag. Do this a few inches at a time, and keep the wash even. For the hair, use a spray that has no oils in it, it should say \'all natural\' or best yet, just use a small bit of gell. Need any other tips?
