Dealing with cold ocean swim for face

Anybody that does ocean swims or open water swims, how do you deal with the cold water on your face? I just did my first triathlon this weekend and I believe the water temp was 59 degrees, but could not free style more than a couple of seconds because everytime I put my face in the water, I just couldn't take the cold. I ended up doggy paddling and *** stroking the whole 400m and it took me 28 minutes. (I was wearing a full length wetsuit so my body had no problems).
