I've never found a good solution to the face mask problem. It's even worse if you've got glasses. Perhaps you can try to alleviate the symptoms? I've had good luck with saline nasal sprays when I'm in really dry environments. A snort or two before and after your ride might solve the nosebleed problem. They're cheap enough that you could even get one to keep at home and another at work. You can buy a bottle for a buck or two pretty much anywhere with a pharmacy type area. Grocery store, Target, wherever.
