From the comments I see there are at least two ways to fix the glitch. I always just closed the game and restarted it. Good bit of teaching with your images on the description page also. I liked that, maybe you should do tutorial pages to keep us entertained.
Yes there's a few ways, in my opinion the first line of defense should be: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/21907/ That fix is for people who downloaded Bethesda's official high res texture DLC and then got the brown face glitch. However I read a couple posts from people who did not have the high res DLC and still had the issue fixed with this mod. Unfortunately I am not one of the people whose game was fixed by it :(
As BrutOpticalGaming mentioned you can just reload your save but that doesn't always work reliably for me. Sometimes I hit F9: brown face. Hit it again: brown face. Repeat till fed up!
At that point if the save reloading isn't working I would just do what you said and restart the game. 15 seconds to load to title screen, 30 seconds to load into the commonwealth?! NEVER.
Then I learned about the looks menu fix mentioned by Aldebaran90, and I decided to just automate a similar approach. Now when I see the brown face glitch I don't get discouraged I get excited to squash the bug with my macro! :)
NOTE: If this doesn't work then you go into "\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\textures\Actors\Character\BaseHumanFemale" and delete all the textures and re-install your body and face texture mods. You need to delete them manually. The dark face bug can happen when you have downloaded different kinds of body/face textures.
Of course if you are using a male character it's BaseHumanMale you do it on.

So if your body is using 4k/2k mods, you should be using 4k/2k mods for the faces as well.
If anything its easier just to avoid 4k/2k mods entirely, and also to disable the 2k Texture DLC from Bethesda.
Of course if you are using a male character it's BaseHumanMale you do it on.
Silly to install mods to fix mods to fix mods
