Gestures like frown, puffy eyes, stiff jaw When you are nervous, or sad and tense faces make our face look tense and wrinkled, and this happens because inside we are nervous, restless or aimless. This causes those feelings to be expressed outward in the form of a pouting, dark circles, wrinkles or dull skin.
To have a better face and forget about those ugly gestures, many times a cream or a serum are not enough or work by themselves. They need a plus, and today I want to tell you about one of my latest discoveries: Facial gymnastics, which together with the new range of massager products that many brands are launching, have become a must to achieve a more flexible and more luminous face.
Both the wrinkles and the facial features that take those forms that you do not like, they do it by repetition. So the fewer times you do the thing that drives you crazy, the better. How? Stand up, and take three deep breaths to calm yourself before scrunching up your features., or smile by placing a pencil in your mouth and holding it with your teeth for a minute. In this way, we will be able to set the neurological mechanisms of the smile in a natural way and at the same time, we will calm our anxiety.
The wrinkles of the skin are that indescribable something that comes from the soul. (Simone de Beauvour).
Our great concern, wrinkles
There are two types of wrinkles, horizontal and vertical.
All the horizonal wrinkles they make our face look aged. They appear to smile, to be amazed, to gesture or to show the state of surprise or joy. They are located and remain perennial around the eyes or on our forehead. Nevertheless, vertical wrinkles they are marked along the face when frowning or pressing the lips. “Smiles accompanied by crow's feet around the eyes are always perceived as more authentic and spontaneous than those that are free of expression lines. They are even related to attractive and intelligent people and are conceived as metaphors for the experience "Therefore, crow's feet appear in people who are happier and more genuine.
