In Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine’s deflected Force lightning causes his face to become deformed. Many have speculated that this was his true form, which he hid with Sith alchemy. The Revenge of the Sith novelization - no longer official canon, but still insightful - says that, under the pressure of his electric hatred deflected back on him by Mace Windu, “his skin flowed like oil … as though even the bones of his skull were softening.”

So while it is an interesting theory that he hid his appearance, it is not actually true. What is even more interesting is the fact that after announcing the attack by the Jedi that left him scarred and deformed, he still presented a normal image of himself to the galaxy. Broadcasts of him on the HoloNet digitally altered his appearance, showing no sign of his deformity. And Imperial propaganda pieces showed no indication of it either.

I guess the grandfatherly appearance he presented throughout the Clone Wars was important enough to carry into the Galactic Empire.

“Dude you looked fine on spacebook live wtf”

You should have read the next pages good sir:

"Palpatine examined the damage to his face in a broad expanse of wall mirror. Anakin couldn’t tell if his expression might be revulsion, or if this were merely the new shape of his features. Palpatine lifted one tentative hand to the misshapen horror that he now saw in the mirror, then simply shrugged. “And so the mask becomes the man, ” he sighed with a hint of philosophical melancholy. “I shall miss the face of Palpatine, I think; but for our purpose, the face of Sidious will serve. Yes, it will serve.”"

"Why are you still shooting lightning??? It's literally being deflected into your face!!!"

The idea of Palpatine making himself appear normal to the masses after being deformed is actually very cool.

[Zapinc]

I thought he got uggers because he tapped really deep into his Sith powers, which usually results in deformation.

[hunterkiller]

Deepfaking his previous face before deepfake even existed. Palpy is truly ahead of the times.

How is the revenge of the Sith novelization based on the george lucas screen play not canon? This is outrageous!

[GeneralHeavy]

Palpatine in Robot Chicken: OH MY GOD! I look like I have a scrotum for a face!

[I-didnt-ask-you]

It was mentioned in the comics that he was concerned about his face becoming ugly and corrupted by the dark side in a conversation with Plaguis.
However, in order to be more presentable to the public and "mask" his appearance he used the dark side to cast a glamour effect over his appearance. This effect failed when his force attacks were reflected upon him breaking the effect.

[SlyFrye]

I've heard that the actor who plays him has stated that he believes the deformed face is Palpatine's real face

[JosephJackson-yote]

Even on the second Death Star palpatine tried to hide his face

[dr.bright]

Palpatine: my face feels kinda warm, how do I look?

[dragonblast]

The only thing he hid using Sith alchemy or Force cloak as some call it. Was his yellow sith eyes

[nickcormier]

When Senator Bail Organa punches the platform upon seeing the Clone Army, that was a pivotal moment for him. He knew what was in store.

The Star Wars universe has advanced enough technology to have cybernetic limb and organ replacement akin to a walking iron lung, yet Palpatine couldn’t manage to get himself a little Botox.

[DefecTec]

The Revenge of the Sith novelization was approved by George Lucas himself. It will always be canon

[PipByMac]

The fact they decanonized so much so they could have the sequel series "make sense" is insulting as fuck.
