Difference between face à and en face de

Hi, could someone please explain a little bit in detail, the difference between face à and en face de ? Is the first one used for when one faces something, but I think it can be used otherwise too (literally/physically)? 

This question relates to:French lesson "À côté de, en face de, à l'extérieur de, à l'intérieur de, près de, loin de, au coin de (French Prepositions)"
