Keep you core and head warm and your face seems to take car of itself. I guess if the temps were lower than Cleveland sees or you were out in it for hours you may need more protection but for temps around 0 you face will survive.

That's what I should have done. I had put on vaseline already on my nose and cheeks--so I don't think I could have gotten frostbite for a 40 min ride.
