PUT ON A HAPPY FACE

PUT ON A HAPPY FACE

PUT ON A HAPPY FACE

"We all find smiling faces more attractive than nonsmiling ones," says Paul Ekman, PhD, professor emeritus of psychology at the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine, who has studied facial expression for several decades. A smile not only lifts the muscles around the eyes and lips, for a more youthful appearance, but also generates a feel-good ripple effect: Your brain gets an instant mood boost from the muscle contractions, and that boost is maintained as people smile back at you.

MY THOUGHTS

no amount of makeup can replace a happy face- that's for sure.
