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.

I've taken to keeping my balaclava off mouth also, so for the real cold days, I tuck a sock in to the sides of it to cover my nose and cheeks, while still keeping my mouth exposed, dosn't steam the ol' glasses at all that way.
