I’m trying to figure out what exactly is the method of action, is it places with more nerve endings or distance from the heart or what? For example, I’m standing out in 50 degrees weather and my face (uncovered of course) feels fine whereas my ears are freezing. My legs, with just one layer of thin pants feel perfectly fine but my arms require several layers to feel warm. My hands are freezing but my feet are fine. Why is that?

Most of your blood is in your core. Your extremities get less blood and they generally have less insulating flesh so they get colder faster. However that’s biologically ok as people don’t have organs in their legs or arms and muscles can operate just fine at a lower temperature.
