For my head, I use a synthetic balaclava with a beanie hat and ski goggles. The balaclava I can pull up over my nose if it's really bad. You might borrow a pair of ski goggles, as they help a lot.

(I think I figured out the glove situation this morning. Wool liners under neoprene gloves under windproof ski gloves. I do have a pair of Bar Mitts ordered as well.)
