I do my face swaps in a couple of different ways actually, but here I am sharing the one which I think will be the easiest to attempt for the beginners.
I recommend using an app/program that allows working with layers. I personally used ibispaintx for this!
The process itself is really very simple. So let's get started!
Prepare your background as you normally would and, in a separate layer open the model you would like to use the body of.

Remove the head and neck, basically everything above the collar, see picture below for reference.

In a new layer add your face claim, the person whose head you want to use. Flip it's direction, if needed, to match the direction of the body!
Pro tip: Always use that picture of your face claim which looks closest to the position and direction of the body you want to fit it in!
A head that is looking straight ahead will never look natural on a body standing sideways.

Erase everything below the neck. I used a model with short hair but don't worry if you have a face claim with long hair, remove those as well and you can add a hair stock towards the end when the face swap is complete, to cover up any flaws.
