Face - is it 'rostro' or 'cara'? :/

Hi, I've noticed that you have at least two words for 'face' in Spanish, 'rostro' or 'cara'.

Are they completely or mostly interchangeable, or do their uses depend upon register or region?

Rostro and Cara are completely synonymous at least in Spain.

In Colombia rostro is used only for people

Cara too, but can also refer to a book cover or the side of a coin

We say "cara" in potuguese too.

I agree with David, they are completely synonymous. Maybe "rostro" is more sophisticated and fancy than "cara". But they mean the same.

In my opinion, "cara" is more common than "rostro".

In spanish we only use "rostro" in particular cases.
