I wear a cap, but I would like to invest in some reflectacles (https://www.reflectacles.com/#home https://www.reflectacles.com/#home), glasses that block facial mapping.

Zak McKracken nose glasses ...

Here are a few examples: https://cvdazzle.com/ https://cvdazzle.com/ These tend to be rather conspicuous, though.
