When you get cold the body routes blood away from the skin and into the core of the body instead. With less red blood in the skin it will look paler.

Why does your face turn pale when you are extra cold?

Your face turns pale when you are cold because the body is trying to adapt and survive (keep itself alive) with the threat of freezing to death. The way your body combats this is to slow or restrict the circulation of blood to non-essential parts of your body in order to keep the most important parts warm and functioning. Like diverting more blood from your face, hands and feet to your heart, brain and inner core. Less blood circulating in your face and hands mean they turn pale.
