Anatomy of a Smile
Hello Reader,
Smiling helps to communicate many emotions: love, happiness and confidence.
Some biologists even say that they have traced the smile back to apes and monkeys. The smile portrayed by those apes and monkeys was a type of smile to show enemies they were harmless.
Personally, I have two favorite smiles. One with dimples and the other known as a Duchenne smile. The smile with dimples is because my son has dimples, or as one boy in kinder garden called him, “the boy with holes in his face.”
The Duchenne smile is the smile that involves the eyes. Yes, this smile gives us crows feet but to me, crows feet means that we smile and laugh so hard that our whole face gets involved. Our smile shows in our eyes.
The muscles of a smile sound so important too. The zygomaticus major and zygomaticus minor will raise the lips to cause a big, true smile.
Exercise your facial muscles along with the muscles of your body.
Send me your favorite smiling picture😀
