what happens when you dont smile enough?

Question

soesyour muscles in your face get weakened? anything happen to your skin?

Answer 1

If you don't laugh and smile more often, wrinkles might set in. and hyperacidity of your stomach will build up and stress sets in. However, if you laugh too much; you'll develop more laugh lines along the mouth and again cause jowls. Wrinkles and "laugh lines" are all signs of premature aging. Do you know that it takes less muscles to laugh and smile than to frown?.

I think SMILING is the best facial exercise!

If you stroll around Barnes and Noble's beauty section you will find that quite a few books have been published on facial exercises- everything from how to lose your chicken neck to contradictory side that facial exercises make aging lines appear worse! With all of the information that these books provide, and the contradictory stance that they have, how do you know what is right?


There are 44 muscles in the face, so it is not odd to believe that moving them and exercising them will change your face to a degree. One book instructed me to push my fingertips up and against the brow bone to lift my eye area. Another book told me to pucker up in an exaggerated kiss while holding back the skin at the corners of the mouth, promising this action would give me fuller lips and better cheekbones.

In the other hand, there were books which told me not to exercise these facial muscles that, in fact, it is the exercising of these muscles during everyday living that has contributed to the little lines showing up in the first place. These books told me that repeated movement of my eyes over time is what has caused my crow's feet. And all my laughing is what actually gave me the laugh lines. The books called for as little extra movement as possible.


So how can we decide what is right? I say, try the exercises out. Doctors say that laugh line and crow's feet are a result of the skin, not the muscles. So actually exercising the muscles won't hurt .However, they suggest pulling hard on the skin may over time actually make winkles appear less. Because the muscles underneath are stronger. I still think smiling is the best exercise you can do!


Some say daily exercises such as these will lead to firmer skin over time. It is suggested that each pose it held for 30 second and repeated 10 times.

Here are several exercise to try, and decide for yourself:

Forehead
Place your index fingers just above your eyes and pull down while trying to raise your eyebrows, hold for 30 seconds and repeat 10 times.

Eyes
Raise your lower eyelids without moving your upper ones, hold for 30 seconds and repeat 10 times.

Cheeks
Push your lips out and make a round shape, stretching forward, now smile as wide as possible, hold for 10 seconds, than resume the round shape and hold for 30 seconds, repeat 10 times.

Lips
Suck on your finger as hard as possible for 30 seconds and then slowly remove it, repeat 10 times.
Hide your teeth with your lips and then make a small 'O' shape, keeping the lips as tense as possible smile as wide as possible, hold for 30 seconds and repeat 10 times.


Neck and Chin
Looking straight ahead place the index finger and thumb on your neck and gently pull the skin down as you lift your head, hold for 30 seconds and repeat 10 times.
Keeping your mouth closed and your teeth together press the tip of your tongue against the bottom of your lower teeth, gradually increasing the pressure to the count of 10, hold for 6, and slowly release. At the same time, use 2 fingers at the hollow of your neck as resistance, gently pressing in, repeat 10 times.
Jut your lower lip out as far as possible, place your fingers on your collarbone and point your chin as high as possible and then pull the corners of your mouth down, hold for 30 seconds and repeat 10 times.
Place your thumb behind the bone just under your chin, press tongue against your lower gums and pretend to touch your tongue to your thumb, hold for 30 seconds and repeat 10 times.
Tighten your chin muscle as firm as you can by pushing your lower lip up and out as though pouting. Tighten as hard as you can so chin turns white and dimpled. hold for 30 seconds and repeat 10 times.
Begin looking straight ahead with your chin level. Turn your head to the right so that it is even with your right shoulder and then push your head backwards. Hold 6-8 seconds. Return head to forward position with chin level. Turn your head to the left, even with your left shoulder, hold for 30 seconds and repeat 10 times.

Answer 2

Nothing happens to your skin. The old saying it takes more muscles to frown. Takes so many more to smile trust me! I had to smile nonstop for two hours at a stupid dance recital my face hurt a lot afterwards. If your mouth is relaxed, people take that as a frown, I call it "I'll smile when the heck I feel like it."

Answer 3

Sleep deprivation is the condition of not having enough sleep; it can be either chronic or acute. A chronic sleep-restricted state can cause fatigue, daytime sleepiness, clumsiness and weight loss or weight gain. It adversely affects the brain and cognitive function. Few studies have compared the effects of acute total sleep deprivation and chronic partial sleep restriction. Complete absence of sleep over long periods is impossible for humans to achieve (unless they suffer from fatal familial insomnia); brief microsleeps cannot be avoided. Long-term total sleep deprivation has caused death in lab animals. Nothing To Worry About!)
