well you know how a dog pees on a tree to mark his territory? Well I think a dog licks your face because he wants to say "i like you and your one of my favorite humans" lol

This is a submissive gesture. Canines lick the faces of their mothers and other adults to solicit regurgitation. Adult dogs continue this behavior as a way to comunicate a need for attention and acceptance.

have to agree with Michele. They show their love as well as "mark" you with their scent.

It is probably due to a couple reasons. Hannah (below) pointed out the most significant: it is a sign of love! But it may also be a way of "claiming you" --you will smell like the "licker", and your hand may taste good.
