Wrinkles belong to us - whether we like it or not
Wrinkles make us unique, show that we have already mastered one or the other hurdle in life, prove that we have already done something in life.
But every crease reveals something else about us, our personality, our health. Wrinkles are amplified by our (repeated) facial expressions. Are they happy laugh lines ? Or desperate worry lines ? How to decode your face - and that of your fellow human beings:
That betrays your wrinkles about your character
- Vertical forehead wrinkles occur when you are angry, skeptical or have doubts. At the same time, they can also be a sign of lived pain.
- Horizontal forehead wrinkles stand for concentration but also amazement.
- Vertical folds between the eyebrows are a sign that the person is annoyed or angry a lot.
- Wrinkles around the mouth (from nose to mouth) often testify to a happy person - or at least someone who laughs a lot and often. Whether a person has a sunny mind and is satisfied, one can not say one hundred percent: A smile can be deceiving.
- Wrinkles around the mouth, pointing downwards, are signs of distress and a negative mood. Often they are also a sign of years of mourning.
The 'face-telling' method even goes one step further, attributing character traits to certain wrinkles. The 'inventor' of this method, Kurt-Georg Scheible, is convinced that eg continuous forehead wrinkles stand for stamina. If the wrinkles are not pulled through, people give up faster or get distracted quickly.
This will reveal your wrinkles about your health
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the technique of Mian Xiang (facial reading) has long been used. This includes that one can conclude from the facial wrinkles on the health of man.
- Fold between eyebrows (vertical): These wrinkles are considered by TCM as a sign of liver function. The deeper these wrinkles are, the weaker is the detoxification function of their liver.
- Fold between eyebrows (horizontal): These transverse folds may indicate hypothyroidism.
- Wrinkles around the mouth: This so-called nasolabial fold (running from the nostril to the corner of the mouth) may also indicate a weakened liver function, but also an obesity. If these wrinkles run to the chin, it can be a sign that you have a sensitive stomach.
- Chin and cheek wrinkles: These wrinkles tell you something about the health of your duodenum. The more pronounced they are, the sooner they are a sign of an ulcer.
