Of Facial Expression and Wrinkles







Ms. Bunga Mawar: I've told you, the reason that I don't smile a lot is because I don't want to have wrinkles!





As mentioned above, today my lecturer explained herself behind her fiery appearance. Indeed, facial expression is one of the factor that cause us wrinkles. However, what we are talking here is the OVERACTIVE facial expression muscles and UNPLEASANT expressions such as frowning. I've read out some of the articles in the internet and come out with some information regarding the statement released by beloved Ms. Rose. Facial muscles are like elastic sheets and wrinkles has been said to be divided into 2 types, which is the expressive wrinkles and micro wrinkles. we are more concerned about the expressive wrinkles today. as we age, the facial skin become less elastic and hence expressive wrinkles tend to set more on our face. there are actually many other factors that contribute to the formation of wrinkles, for instance:
  • excessive exposure to the sun and other chemical elements
  • frequent use of tobacco products
  • poor nutrition
  • skin disorders
however, there are also ways to eradicate wrinkles, for example:
  • plastic surgery
  • cosmetic cream
As the saying goes , prevention is always better than cure. although wrinkles are inevitable, but keeping them few or delayed is somehow possible. how could we do that? let's see.
  • DON'T SMILE TOO OFTEN (according to Ms. Bunga Mawar)
  • Hydration- Drink plenty of H Two O
  • Practice good hygiene
  • Practice healthy diet
  • Reduce stress and tension
  • Protect skin from the environment, eg: wear a hat, put on sun protection lotion
It is no doubt that human face is a powerful communication tool. our facial expression says it all without us have to utter a word. Whilst facial expression are one of the factors that cause us wrinkles, I think that it gives us character and a smile on the face always make a brighter day. so, we should still smile our way... but just don't overdo it :) have a great day everyone.
