Washing face is most probably unrelated to blood in your mouth. This may only be coincidental, as you tend to spit during the process.
This condition is known as hemoptysis and there can be multiple causes associated with it including both local and systemic. Unfortunately, due to lack of complete clinical history it would be impossible to make a diagnosis and suggest treatment.

Health Tips
Bloody saliva typically occurs due to injuries in our mouths. It is quite common and heals soon. Meanwhile, various systemic diseases and dental disorders also contribute to getting a large amount of blood in the saliva. In most cases, such saliva blood originated from infections in the respiratory system or digestive system.
