Is it possible to get goosebumps on your face?

Yes it is possible. I get goose bumps on my face very often, because I am a girl and have no hair on my face no hair raises. But my face gets a quick patch of bumps on my cheeks. I still haven't met anyone else who gets them! Yes, I get goosebumps on my face all the time. I get them when Im cold, and I know this is cheesy but my ex used to bite on my neck to give them to me on purpose. When I get the goosebumps it makes my face look like I have acne scars, on my cheeks then they just go away. Iam not hairy just normal peach fuzz, and I also have never met anyone else who gets them. I also get goosebumps on my face, and as the other person above says they do look like acne scars for the few seconds that they last :)

Why do you get goosebumps when you are cold?

In layman's terms, when you're cold, the body tries to make a thicker layer of trapped air around your body to hold your body heat. The body does this by causing the hairs on your body to stand up and create this body heat trap. It probably worked better when we humans had more hair. Erector pillae, also called arrector pili, are the muscles that contract to cause your hair to stand up or "goose bumps." It helps your hairs stand up on your skin so that the hair will make your body warmer.
