Being happy keeps the wrinkles away. ... . . .

Hi dori! You appear to be right that smiles can keep away the wrinkles. Though I believe getting wrinkles on one's face is a natural phenomenon and it happens when one grows older in age yet I agree with you that if we keep on smiling, we may get less wrinkles on our face. Actually, when we smile lots of our facial muscles get a kind of exercise and this way wrinkles may not occur on our face. I always keep on smiling and my avatar says it all.

I am going to walk around with a permanent smile on my face now.They do say it takes less muscles to smile then the frown or is it the other way round.

I'm sure laughter and smile are healthy. We can't frown forever and we shouldn't let stress get the best of us. I have been doing yoga for a while and somehow I found my self smiling during practice LOL not sure why but it could be the effect of some postures. I don't know if smile makes people look younger, because I look younger even when I don't smile a lot. I inherit the skin from my mother, she is 64 and she looks younger than a 54 yo woman here. my mother does smile a lot, she never thinks much either. I rarely see her in stress or sadness too long. so her personality keeps her look young. I don't know if I can look young forever because we are definitely two different personalities :)

I agree that it is important to be happy. I forgot to be happy today and I was quite miserable. I did remember tonight to be thankful for my blessings and the things I have been given to do and that made me happy.

Yes I do beleive if you are always have a smile on your face...Plus happy disposition in life you wont have any wrinkles ..Plus you got to feel and think young than your age.d[on't even thinking growing up what's age any way] cd

yes yes yes!!! i surely do my friend. and it helps keep our muscles in our face well. anyways, smile always give alot of positive aura in our life. they brings joy to other people as well. being happy is the very best thing to do. and though we have many problems but still its nice to bring out the happiness in us. jhelai

The wrinkles are inevitable but a smile makes them go up instead of down

Just smiling at yourself in the mirror first thing in the morning can make your whole day.

Hi dorisday, I agree and yet I disagree. Smiling actually does make you feel happier and it definitely keeps you looking younger than your years. However with my prediliction for smiling I have begun to notice the advent of lines (no you can't make me say the word wrinkles of myself) around my eyes. Laughter lines of course but lines all the same. On the plus side my forehead is completely line free as when you're smiling you aren't frowning.

I believe a smile on the face can bring the light on someone else's face and to make someone happy is all good than making yourself happy too at the same time so why not give a smile which does not cost anything and which brings only a smile in return. I smile because I know my smile can say many things to people who even does not wish to talk can give a smile in return.

Yes that's true that being happy and smile always can stay us healthy, smart and young. Even if our ages go higher we still charming and pretty to see for everyone. All worries and baggages in life fades away if we smile always. It can leads our wrinkles to go away and we look lovelier because of that secret way "smile".
