If you have managed to follow all our healthy habits, you know what? You’ve definitely got something to smile and laugh about! Just writing this guide has helped us to take a good look at our own lifestyle habits and a few changes are definitely having positive benefits.
Healthy Habit 10 – Smile and laugh more
How can this help my skin you say? Well, you will certainly be much nicer to look at with a smile on your face. Using the muscles in your face to smile rather than to frown will, at the very least, mean the wrinkles you do get will be as a result of smiling more and not frowning more. We know which we would rather have.
It’s contagious!
Try not to smile at someone smiling at you. It’s quite difficult. A friendly, smiling face will attract more smiles from other people. Making you feel good in return.
Lowers stress and anxiety
Your body releases endorphins (our feel good hormones) when you smile and laugh. Even a fake smile will have this effect as the brain recognises the use of the muscles used to smile to release these hormones. So plaster a smile on your face even if you aren’t feeling it.
Did we mention they’re free?
That’s right, those stress reducing, feel good actions are completely free!
