you shouldnt blow with all your might and lose all your air at once.. form a small hole with your lips to focus the air... and im too lazy to type the rest of basics. ITS CALLED WWW.GOOGLE.COM

Try not to blow too hard but instead exhale at a constant rate for as long as your breath allows. Put your palm in front of your lips and blow on it at a constant speed. You'll feel the strength of your air on your palm. You should try to blow out for 5-6 seconds (having taken one big breath).

You might get a headache/dizziness quickly. This is normal at first. Rest, if this happens to you (sit down). Usually, this problem is caused by you taking in more oxygen than what you're used to.

I'm not sure why your face is sore but it might be caused by tension. Use a mirror and make sure you don't look strained when you play flute. Consult a teacher in person as well, so you can get more hands-on advice.
