Winter Running - How to dress?

I am desperately trying to acclimate my body to cold weather running. I think that I have clothing figured out EXCEPT for my face! What would everyone recommend to buy as a mouth/face cover for running in 25 degree and below weather?

    You can get a moisture wicking face mask called backlava or something like that. Last resort though as it still gets sweaty. I like to use balm from a ski shop to put on my cheeks, nose, etc and that helps a lot

    Thank you for your input! I bought a Gaiter. I think it will help alot and I loved that it is easy to fold down once I warm up. I also got some new thermal running pants - woohoo!! Next I may buy Yak Traxx. I never used to be a morning person and running changed that. Who knows - maybe next running will make me enjoy winter? THAT would be life changing!
