For example, if you find it difficult to see in very bright light you are likely going to strain your eyes when you experiences bright light. So, always go for regular eye checkups and correct any defect.

Massaging of your forehead.

Being conscious of your face especially in areas around the forehead.

Does smiling causes wrinkles?

2012-01-13T13:38:00.000-08:00

We always hear of words like, stop frowning to stop facial wrinkles. But, we hardly hear of words like stop smiling to stop facial wrinkles. So many of us don’t associate smiling with facial wrinkles in fact some thought that smiling can wipe out facial wrinkles. Is this true? Can smiling often lead to facial wrinkles? Read on to find out.
Smiling often can cause wrinkles to develop on the face. It is noticeable in places around the eyes especially the corners of the eyes and the mouth around the cheek.
Smile wrinkles which is sometimes called laugh lines develops on the face long before we get old. This is because as one grows older, the production of collagen and elastin diminishes. These proteins are very high when we are young. That is why no matter the facial expression of a little child, the face bounces back as soon as he/she relaxes the face.
Smile wrinkles or laugh lines is formed as a result of years of accumulative smiling which causes muscular movement such as folding and stretching of the face. The lines become more visible as we grow older and the skin becomes thinner and dryer.

Smile wrinkles just like any other wrinkles are caused by the following:

Excessive exposure to the sun. The sun contains harmful or dangerous rays that is very harmful to the skin. This can speed up the aging process thereby causing wrinkles on the face.

Smoking excessively can also cause wrinkles to develop on the skin. Smoke is known to cause a drop in the production of collagen and elastin. And a drop in these proteins causes the skin to wrinkle easily.

Frequent movement of the face which cause the facial muscles to move repeatedly can cause lines to form on the face.

You can see post on causes of wrinkles for more information.

Protect your face from the violent rays of the sun. So each time you go out, always wear sunscreen or sun block on the face. Baseball caps, wide brim hat and sunglasses can also give you further protection from the sun’s UV rays which are harmful to the skin.

How to Stop Frowning

2011-09-01T01:58:00.000-07:00

Baby Frowning

Frowning had become part of so many people. The question is why do people frown? My investigation through interaction with people and from experience proved that people frown for some reasons.

People frown when they are stressed, worked-up, etc.; some when they keep malice; when they are disturbed; when they are angry, etc.

The funniest thing is that most people who frown don’t even know they do! When confronted with the question “do you frown?” their reply is most time like this “do I frown?”!

Some people who frown actually know they do, but they can’t actually help it. That is why I put it upon myself to investigate the causes of frowning and the ways one can actually stop it.

I went to a bank sometime to withdraw money. It was on weekend and since most bank open half day on Saturday and don’t open at all on Sundays, there was many customers in the bank that day trying to make one form of transaction to another. So, there was queue on the withdrawals section. I stood waiting for my turn patiently. From where I was standing, I saw the banker attending to customers in my section straining his eyes looking at the computer screen and in the process frowning!

So, when it got to my turn, I asked him when he has been on that sit attending to customers. He replied “8am”. I looked at my wrist watch; it was few minutes to 3pm.

The many customers behind me did not deter/stop me from asking one more question.

“For how long have you been working with this establishment?” he looked at me. A look that implied “why are you asking?” but he manages to say “for four years”

I did not ask any more question, but made conclusion based on what he had told me. Probably he goes to work every day except probably on Sundays!

Then it done on me; this man spend most part of his day frowning. Tell me, how do such person know when they frown? It is very difficult for such person to know! This is because they are now used to it.

So, there are so many of this banker all over the world who frown while working on a computer. Mind you, it is not only when working on a computer that you frown. You can be playing a computer game, watching television and yet frown.

I was at a bus stop one day waiting for a bus to convey me to my destination. In the process I sat on a chair on the bus stop waiting. A lady about 25years of age sat beside me. Before long, her phone rang. She stood up and walks a few meters away from me answering the call.

While she was answering the call, I was watching her; although I could not hear what she was saying, I noticed that her looks change. She was frowning while taking back at the caller on the other end. Her facial expressions suggest that she was angry at the caller.

After ending the call she came back and sat where she was sitting before. But her facial expression still remained the same. I would have talk to her to ease her nerves. But I decide not to to see how long it will take to ease her mind and regain her face.

The bus came and we entered the bus.

Few minutes before she came down from the bus she received another phone call which made her more furious and which made her frowning her face the more.

While she came down from the bus, the looks on her face remained the same. The question now is I do not know how long it took for her face to soften probably 2 hours, 4 hours or maybe the whole day.

So, when we get angry, we frown and most times unconsciously.

Reduce the number of times you get angry, as it will help your frowning attitude.

Why did I give the above two scenario? I gave it just to prove that almost everybody on earth frown, and most times without knowing!

I was discussing with a boy who claimed he had never frown since he was born. And behold, in less than two minutes while I was with him, he frowned, when a friend of his told him he had misplaced his digital camera.

So, the issue is not whether or not you frown. It is the number of hours you spend frowning that matters
