he doesnt accept na tvém, svém obličeji .. although it is YOUR face in the english sentence, reported it
Czech is cheap when it comes to use of possessives. English uses them everywhere. If you can use it in English, do so. One way to avoid articles. To a czech ear using 'tvém, svém" sounds little silly. Like who else"s face would I be talking about when I start the sentence with "You have...". Of course it is yours. And so we typically do not say it.
On the other hand, I wouldn't accept your report with "tvém", only "svém".
I think you are right. We do allow "své" in "Close your eyes for two minutes .".
