“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” the English idiom says. But in fact, the appearance of someone will tell you about a lot of things: from how much you can trust a person, to whether or not he or she is a perfectionist. It may also signify different illnesses.
1. Wrinkles are related to heart illness.
Heart health conditions influence the consistency of the skin, according to a report published in 2012. The number of wrinkles on the upper inner arms and faces of a group of people with long-living parents and a random group of people of the same age were compared by scientists. The findings found that women with a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease are 2 years younger than their age. Women whose parents have heart issues, on the other hand, have more wrinkles.
2. Pimples can show health problems.
It is assumed in Eastern medicine that pimples on the skin are a result of problems with the internal organs and various diseases.
- Pimples in the region between the eyebrows (on the nose bridge) can suggest problems with the liver. It may probably be overloaded with alcohol, unhealthy fatty foods, or narcotics.
- Pimples under the eyes are most commonly related to concerns with the kidneys and adrenal glands.
- Stomach disorders are suggested by pimples in the upper portion of the cheeks.
- A malfunction of the lungs can cause pimples on the middle and lower sections of the cheeks. The right cheek accounts for the right lung, and the left cheek accounts for the left lung. Lung disease may be manifested in red spots or capillary problems.
- An indication of cardiovascular issues may be pimples above the lips.
3. The shape of your face reveals the features of your personality.
Jean Haner, the author of the book The Wisdom of Your Face and a face reading expert, says that face form will tell you about your approach to life.
- Diamond face form: Perfectionists are people with this face shape. They love to order and interact with individuals well.
- Round face shape: An person with this face shape places other people’s interests above his or her own.
- Form of the heart face: These individuals are very stubborn, energetic, and intuitive. They’ve got imaginative skills.
- Square face shape: These individuals are very robust. They want to take on tall projects.
- Oval face form: It is super-welcoming to people with this face shape. They, thus, draw individuals to themselves very much.
- Rectangular face shape: Members are renowned for their logic of this kind. They plan their acts carefully and seldom talk about emotions.
- The triangular form of the face: These individuals want to be in charge of everything. The narrower an individual’s forehead, the more control he takes upon himself. Usually, these individuals are very successful.
- Believe it or not, this hypothesis doesn’t have any medical evidence.
4. Your facial expression defines your superiority, confidence, and appeal.
People can assess your superiority, beauty, and trustworthiness by your facial expression, according to a psychological study done in 2014. The phrases that can support you are here:
- Low dominance: dimples are seen, the brows are lowered and lifted, the chin is lowered, and the lips are extended.
- High dominance: lips snarling and nose wrinkling.
- Low appeal: wrinkling the nose, pulling open the mouth, and squeezing the eyelids.
- High attractiveness: lowering and lifting the brows, drawing the lips back into a slight smile.
- Low trustworthiness: frowning, eyes narrowing and nostrils dilating.
- Strong trustworthiness: the lines between mouth and nose are deepened and the brows are lifted.
5. Height is linked to leadership qualities.
Your brain determines his or her height when you encounter a new person. This occurs because the brain needs to draw a decision about its capacity to be in control. The brain supposes a tall person to be a leader. It is also curious that people who have long faces in pictures are automatically viewed as tall by us.
6. The facial bone structure affects the perceptions of people regarding physical strength.
Scientists asked experiment participants to determine a man’s physical ability based solely on images of his face or the upper half of his body. Around the same time, individuals whose images were presented to participants were physically checked earlier. It turned out that the subjects of the test most accurately indicated men’s real strength. It was also found that individuals appear to measure a person’s strength, not based on their legs’ muscularity, but based on the width of his chest and the volume of their biceps.
7. A wide face is connected with a high aggression level.
The participants of this study looked at images of men with neutral facial expressions for 1200 milliseconds to determine their aggression. Further analysis, in which participants stared at images for just 39 milliseconds, again verified the findings. It has been found that a measure of hostility may be a certain proportion of the face’s height and width. A broader face shape is observed with a higher testosterone level. Only men apply to this report.
8. Your eyes can predict your melanoma risks.
The eyes are not just the soul’s reflection. They can predict cancer risk as well. Owing to the insufficient amount of protective pigment in the skin, individuals with bright eyes have an increased risk of uveal melanoma. It should be remembered that the eyes are unable to assess the likelihood of other forms of melanoma, such as skin cancer.
You can say a lot about a person now just by looking at them. When meeting with friends and colleagues, would you be more attentive? Tell us in the comments!
