Here's some passages from Spellbound, the 2ed supplement that details the Witches of Rashemen (Wychlaran). Both about the use of masks and some examples of mask items.
"All witches must wear masks when traveling in Rashemen. They need not wear masks in private... They travel incognito, often concealing their identities from all but their closest companions." p92
The passage implies to me that a Rashemi witch is only obligated to wear her mask in Rashemen, and even then only when in public. The second sentence also suggests that she would not want to reveal her presence as a Rashemi witch to just anybody. After all, why expose yourself to enemies like Red Wizards unnecessarily? If nobody knows you're a witch, you're less likely to be considered a valuable target.
