The structure of the human face is an art rooted in science, intimately connected to and mutually influencing our daily lives.

Of course, beauty is not merely a form; the unique aesthetic sensibilities that vary from person to person become the source of our appreciation for others. Yet those seemingly habitual gestures are subtly altering our original facial contours.

Setting aside the natural changes that come with age, the following behaviors—common among most people—can alter our original facial structure. Do you know how?

 

1. Staring at your phone                                                    

As a common affliction of modern life, whether during sleepless nights or long commutes, we habitually lower our heads into the digital realm of our smartphones. Many recognize that being a "screen-addicted individual" not only poses potential safety risks but also leads to physical imbalances in our body structure.

l Chin down, swiping on the phone

As the gaze lowers, the eyes rely on the forehead muscles to exert force. Persistent tension and relaxation in the forehead can easily lead to forehead wrinkles.

l Hunching over while scrolling on their phone

Causing contraction of the cervical spine and shoulder muscles, which can easily lead to poor blood and lymphatic circulation in the spine. The accumulation of metabolic waste affects the smoothness of the neck and face, resulting in wrinkles, puffiness, nasolabial folds, and rough skin.

Tilting your neck back, chin up, swiping through your phone

This is a posture many people adopt after noticing neck wrinkles, but it actually tends to cause drooping eyelids, mouth breathing that leads to sagging corners of the mouth, and can also result in forehead wrinkles, double chin, and facial sagging.

2. Incorrect sleeping position

In fact, maintaining a relatively correct posture is also a crucial factor affecting sleep quality. Meanwhile, those so-called sleep lines quietly emerge in the unseen depths of the night. Have you ever noticed any issues with your sleeping posture?

Sleeping on one's side

Habitually sleeping on one's side is a common issue affecting 60% of people. Whether sleeping on the right or left side, one cheek bears greater pressure, making it prone to developing nasolabial folds and crow's feet. Under this pressure, facial muscles compress, leading to sagging and loss of firmness.

Sleeping on one's stomach

This sleeping position offers a sense of security but exerts the most pressure on facial skin. Due to the large contact area with bedding, it can easily cause fine lines. If the eyes are pressed, prolonged increased intraocular pressure may lead to protruding eyes.

3. Roughly remove makeup

Makeup removal is typically a task that requires great care and patience. The buildup of cosmetic pigments can cause skin to appear dull and rough. If not properly cared for, damage to the stratum corneum can lead to clogged pores, fostering blackheads, whiteheads, and acne. Disruption of the skin barrier results in dryness and dehydration, accelerating the skin's aging process. What may seem like a minor action can actually inflict significant damage on the skin of the face.
