Awe, lol, poor little baby. (And you too!) that's a hard one! I don't know hun, that may just be a wait it out. Either until she stops doing it (might just be a temporary thing she does) or until she's old enough where you can put something else in replace of the hands. Like one of those very light silky baby clothes. My son likes the feeling of some thing on his face too. He sleeps with blanket on his face, but he's almost 3 so very different scenario. Sorry couldn't offer good advice. :(
