* The crescent moon *does* face the Earth, but not in the way you might think.

* The Moon always faces the Earth with the same side, due to tidal locking.

* The crescent shape is caused by the angle of sunlight hitting the Moon. We only see the portion of the Moon illuminated by the sun.

* The *direction* the crescent points depends on the Moon's position in its orbit around the Earth, but it doesn't mean the Moon is turning its "face" away from us.

So, to answer your question:

* The crescent Moon doesn't specifically face the Earth in a different way than any other phase.

* The crescent shape is an illusion caused by the angle of sunlight.
