I would just add a note of caution. Even though an image appears blurry when you see it, if you hold the camera or iPad or whatever at arms length, you can actually make out the face.
Not alway, but it’s happened enough times for me to decide not to blur my face.

I have a feature built in my phone pic editor that blurs with a brush.
You can also find apps on the appstore if you type in blur photo.
I'd make sure to blur it over two or three times though. I once had someone message me saying they were working on taking the pixels away lmaooo poor them seeing my face if they managed to do it.

"How does everyone blur faces on pics? Is there a good app? (iPhone users) x
The trick is to shake your head really fast when taking the photo, works a treat  "
That's to avoid being captured on cctv |

You should be careful about stating which app you use to blur. Apparently, if you know the app used, some people can reverse it because they know the code behind the original app (or something, I'm not a computer person) so if you do blur faces, be mindful that it's possible for this to be reversed and the full image to be out there 
Or so I was told. |

Is it possible to do this in real life as my face is permanently blurred?  |

Use a photo editor and just draw a white or what ever colour dot over your face can see if you have a look though my pics that way it can’t be I blurred or reconstructed |

100% never give out your editing software as you can reverse engender the pic by useing the same code |

"Most phones have an editing function where you can at the very least black out a face"
I was going to say that as edit will remove that part of the image. |

If you’re worried about unblurring, then blur it several times with different algorithms.
Or just crop/overpaint.
Personally I think cropping or obscuring with a prop or hair or body part is a lot more sexy. Stickers and colour blobs are a bit jarring. |

I have used an app in the past called “photo editor-” it’s on the App Store that has a brush for blurring
The app looks like a flower with coloured petals if you can’t find it  |
