In a WIP, I have a narrator who is a participant in most of the scenes. How do you write about facial expressions for the narrator, since, presumably, the narrator cannot see their own face.

Depends on how specific you want to be.
I know I was grinning like a fool/frowning/shocked/surprised
(someone) next to me reached over and closed my mouth.
You can feel your face, so you can write stuff like "my eyes widened" or "my jaw tightened."
