You can put them in the preterit if you want.
Me lavo la cara. - I'm washing my face.
Me lavé la cara. - I washed my face.

With lavarse and peinarse, you don't need to specify the affected body part unless you want to.
Me levanté por la mañana; me lavé y me peiné y salí a trabajar.
I got up in the morning, washed up and combed my hair and went to work.
