Use the lasso tool to draw around the face then feather it 2 pixles, then copy it, now paste it onto the body picture, use free transform to size it, then ajust the colours to match (if needed) The real trick in making this look "right" is getting the two pics with the lighting to match, if it comes from the left in one and the right in the other you'd be supprised how odd it will look.

try leavals or curves on the face photo only to match how the lighting looks between the two. Remember to create a clipping group between the face and the levels or curves layer only to effect the face lighting.
