There are lots of different methods, depending on the effect you want.
1. Work on a copy of the photo, not the original
2. Use either the rectangle or ellipse selection tools and make a selection around the face.
3. Filters > Blur > Pixelise. Play with the strength to get the effect you want. Or you could use Gaussian Blur instead of Pixelise for a different effect.
There are other methods (eg swirling).
