A vote here for the Icebugs. Love those. My routes typically involve an icy hill, though. It's more an insurance policy than a necessity. As an older (50yo) runner, I leave nothing to chance where injuries are concerned.
Pants feel so limiting, but I've never tried tights so maybe they're better. I also never wear anything on my face - but I don't when I ski either.

I get made fun of for sweating so much half the year so winter is my time to shine!
