Botox Stifles Not Just Facial Expressions But Emotions As Well

Botox (left) is one of the most toxic substances known to man. It's produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Administered in small amounts into facial muscles, it can paralyze nerve connections and keep you from frowning or furrowing your brow, thereby lessening the wrinkles associated with the expression. This is supposed to make you look younger, but in some cases where too much is used all over the face, the treatment can make the face look dead. You know if someone has had too much botox if it's only the eyes and mouth that move on his or her face.

Botox is indeed quite effective in keeping your facial muscles in check. Recent research suggests that it does not only stifle expressions, but the emotion behind them as well. For example, if the botox is used to keep your brows from coming together in an expression of worry, it may also keep your emotion of worry subdued. Psychologist Arthur Glenberg says botox prevents feedback from the muscles to the brain that gauges the extent of the facial expression. Therefore, the less the expression, the less the feedback. It's like the connection between the face and the brain has been short-circuited.

The conclusion is based on the phenomenon that allows people to magnify an emotion by "expressing" the facial expression associated with it. This is why it's said that in order to feel happy, you only have to smile more. If your tendency is to frown, then you will likely be sad or depressed more. With botox paralyzing facial muscles, this ability to enforce emotions is said to be diluted. Who knows if that's good or bad? Read more about botox in a report from Newsweek.

How to Remove Blackheads without Pinching

What's a blackhead? Technically, blackheads are a type of acne and also called open comedones. A blackhead is essentially oils from your skin that turn hard and black in a clogged pore. Sometimes, the pore gets infected and worsens the blackhead. We don't want blackheads. The first thing that comes to mind to remove them would be to pinch them out. While this method can work, it can also damage skin and cause scarring. The way to remove blackheads would be to use the longer way.

Blackheads can be tough to remove, so the first thing to do is to soften them and loosen them up. The next would be to use some moisturizers with fruit acids or Vitamin A-type molecules (top) to coax them out with exfoliating skin. This step is done carefully especially if the skin is sensitive. But if done regularly, blackheads will pop out without them being pinched. If you have some deep-seated blackheads, you can go to a dermatology clinic for a facial.
