Moleskin works very well but of course it's not very reusable. I used it to protect my cheeks at the cheekbones and nose during the Noquemanon XC ski race last weekend in the UP; -13 at the start, and it worked fine. Dermatone is also good for exposed skin but won't protect anywhere near as well as moleskin. Athletic tape is another alternative. There's also a product called Frost Tape, comes from Sweden and is designed for this purpose but I haven't used it and don't know who would carry it locally. And yes to goggles or sunglasses--someone up at the race froze their cornea.
