Solution:

The sister with the dirty face did not realize her face was dirty, as she had not looked in a mirror or been informed by her sister. Meanwhile, the sister with the clean face assumed her sister's face was dirty and therefore washed her own face.

The sister with the dirty face would not know it was dirty as she had not been told or looked in a mirror and her sister's face was clean. the sister with the clean face would assume it was dirty by the fact that her sisters face was, and therefore cleaned it.

The clean faced sister washed "her" (her sister's face)
and the one with dirty face did not claen "her" (her sister's face)
