Actually, Bumi wasn't the only one to Earthbend with his face... Toph did this as well in "The Runaway" (part of cheating at gambling) and in "Tales of Ba Sing Se" (the mud stuff on her face). Bumi was the only one to creatively put it to such use, though, just as Toph was the only one to creatively put Seismic Sense to its extensive use in Metalbending. Bumi's more creative with the strategic use of Earthbending (putting any already existing Earthbending move to highly creative use), whereas Toph is more creative with the tactics themselves (having to overcome the usual Earthbender mental block against the use of Metalbending).
