~THE MAGIC OF SMILE~

Did you know that a natural smile produces some wrinkle lines around the eyes? Insincere smiles only includes of smiling lips. People who smile sincerely do not only pull up their lips corner but also produce some wrinkle lines around the eyes as resulted from the contraction of muscles.

A French scientist, named Guillaume Duchenne de Boulogne made a research on how to differentiate between smiles of enjoyment with other types of smiles. He pulled face muscles from many different angles to record which muscles caused which smiles. He found that smiles are controlled by two different muscles which are zygomatic major muscle and orbicularis oculi. 

Zygomatic major muscles are consciously controlled and used to produce FAKE SMILE to look friedly. That is the true fact!. Meanwhile, scientist use a method called the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), which was devised by Professor Paul Ekman from University of California and Dr Wallace V Friesen from University of Kentucky to differentiate between real and fake smiles. 

People can fake their smiles even they seem to smile sincerely. A real and sincere smile includes of fleshy part of the eye between the eyebrow and eyelid, the eye cover fold, moves downwards and the end of the eyebrows dip slightly.
