Morphology
The meaning 'a cream applied to the skin of the face' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'face' (the front part of the head) with 'cream' (a topical skin preparation); the compound simply specifies the target area. This noun–noun compounding pattern is common in English and across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Face cream comes from a simple picture: a soft cream you put on your face to make the skin soft, clean, and protected. So, 'face cream' means a cream used 'to care for' or 'to moisturize' the skin of the face.
