Emotions over time leave an imprint on our appearance. But thanks to the achievements of cosmetology, today it is quite possible to erase the traces of our experiences.
In the traditions of Chinese medicine and philosophy, it is customary to distinguish five basic emotional states. These are anger, fear, joy, sadness and meditation. And all these emotions, do not even hesitate, leave their imprint on our faces. But thanks to the achievements of cosmetology, today it is quite possible to erase the traces of our experiences. How exactly, together with the chief physician of the Belle Allure Beauty Institute, Elena Vasilyeva.
Dermatocosmetologist, cosmetologist. Graduated from the I. M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University. He has been practicing aesthetic medicine since 1999. In 2007, she founded the Belle Allure Beauty Institute in Moscow. At one of the congresses in Paris, I heard about Resorblift threads made of polylactic acid, realized that this novelty was a real breakthrough in cosmetology, and got the idea to bring threads to Russia. I signed a contract and made sure that this drug is absolutely necessary in our Russian market. In 2011, Resorblift threads were officially registered in the Russian Federation. At the moment, he is the head trainer of Resorblift thread lifting specialists not only in Russia and the CIS countries, but also around the world.
Agree, it is more pleasant for all of us to communicate with people whose face expresses friendliness and affability. And let the proverb assure you that "do not drink water from your face", but the New Scientist edition recently published such data. After conducting a global study, the representatives of the publication found out: today, like one hundred or two hundred years ago, people tend to judge the character of the interlocutor by his appearance and, in particular, his facial expression. Therefore, even a criminal "with a pleasant face", many are ready to forgive some sins - unless, of course, we are not talking about something serious.
A person does not look very attractive in the following cases:
- lack of volume in the forehead and temples;
- overhanging eyebrows;
- glabellar wrinkles and around the eyes;
- bags under the eyes and / or pronounced lacrimal groove;
- omission of the zygomatic and buccal regions;
- deep nasolabial folds;
- sunken cheeks;
- "puppet" wrinkles;
- lack of lip volume and perioral wrinkles;
- uneven contour of the oval of the face;
- age-related changes in the chin;
- poor quality of the skin.
Now let's take a closer look at what traces different emotions leave on our faces. For example, the manifestation of fatigue is overhanging eyebrows, bags under the eyes, drooping of the zygomatic region, wrinkles around the eyes, poor skin quality.
Constant anger is wrinkles around the eyes and frown lines, tightness of the lips and chin.
Sadness leaves such marks on our face - overhanging eyebrows, drooping corners of the eyes, wrinkles around the eyes and wrinkles between the brows, fuzzy lips, drooping corners of the lips, poor skin quality.
It also spoils us a lot when the face looks saggy. Everybody knows the signs. These are the drooping of the zygomatic region, deep nasolabial folds, "puppet" wrinkles, uneven contour of the oval of the face, poor quality of the skin. Accordingly, in order to get rid of traces of sadness or fatigue, you need to work with the listed zones.
How to look slimmer, younger and more feminine
Changing the shape of the face will help a person look slimmer visually. This happens with a more oval shape. If you have a square, round or heavy face, then it is worth changing the shape of your cheekbones and chin, so visually you become younger and seem to have lost several kilograms.
But to look younger, you should pay attention to the following signs: loss of volume in the forehead and temples, overhanging eyebrows, glabellar wrinkles and wrinkles around the eyes, bags under the eyes, drooping of the cheekbones and cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, sunken cheeks, wrinkles puppets”, lack of lip volume and perioral wrinkles, uneven face contour, age-related changes in the chin, poor skin quality.
Angry, even angrier
Just a few years ago, the term bitchy resting face almost officially appeared - "bitchy face syndrome" (abbreviated as RBF syndrome). This is the name for people who seem angry, arrogant or resentful, although they do not feel negative feelings at all. It's all about the discrepancy between their facial expressions and really experienced emotions. What if you suddenly have a bitchy resting face?
According to Elena Vasilyeva, the signs that you do not look very feminine are as follows: protruding forehead, sunken temples, wrinkles around the eyes and eyebrow lines, raised eyebrows, high cheekbones, smooth contours and volume in the lower part of the cheeks, lack of lip volume, irregular chin shape, poor skin quality. Therefore, if you notice that people often ask you a question, is everything in order with you and if something terrible has happened in your life, think: maybe from the outside you just look like a person with perennial problems? And that you just have this bitchy resting face - "bitchy face syndrome"?
The New York Times assures that the "angry face syndrome" is especially noticeable in people of mature age. Indeed, over the years, the corners of the lips sink a little, the nasolabial folds deepen, and the wrinkles on the bridge of the nose that give an unfriendly expression on the face become more and more noticeable.
But young people, even those who are ranked among the hundred most beautiful people, also sometimes suffer from RBF syndrome. In addition to the already mentioned Kristen Stewart, for example, the famous top model Tyra Banks is considered such. By the way, she advises to actively learn to "smile with your eyes" - in her opinion, "it is impossible to constantly control facial expressions for the sake of a more welcoming look."
By the way: one of the first women who have been diagnosed with RBF syndrome in modern years is called Mona Lisa. And of today's idols, such is called Kristen Stewart, the leading role in the vampire movie saga "Twilight": Kristen even became the heroine of several memes that just play up her constantly "worn out by life" face.
Strong argument
A separate topic is the male face. Indeed, often many of the stronger sex (especially with age) begin to look, shall we say, less courageous. To return them to their inherent gender characteristics, the following measures are necessary:
- creation of a well-defined superciliary arch;
- giving the chin a square shape;
- creation of a clear contour of the lower jaw;
- more prominent cheekbones;
- the oval is sharper, the face is thinner.
It is clear that each patient is individual, each has its own equation to solve. But an experienced cosmetologist is quite capable of coping with the task and trying to fix what we have “accumulated” over the years of our stay on earth.
And, of course, it is worth remembering: the emotions that over time leave intricate traces on our faces, in fact, should remain only emotions. That is, you cannot constantly be angry or go gloomy. Get through a tough day and walk out the next morning with a smile on your face. And then "the good mood will not leave you anymore." This means that the work of a beautician will also be an order of magnitude less.
