Lavar o rosto
Lavar o rosto means to wash your face. Portuguese avoids possessives with body parts, so lavo o rosto is natural and lavo o meu rosto sounds heavy. A common alternative is lavar a cara, which is slightly more colloquial in Portugal.
Examples in context
Lavo o rosto com água fria.
I wash my face with cold water.
Ele lava o rosto antes do café.
He washes his face before coffee.
