Turns out, SMILING in pictures makes you look OLDER. Research found that when someone smiled in a picture, strangers guessed they were an average of one year older than they were.  When you’re smiling, it really accentuates any wrinkles on your face. So, if you’re looking for an expression that could make you look YOUNGER, try the surprised look (like Twiggy!) It can knock two years off your assumed age because it smooths out all of your wrinkles. (Photo: Into the Glass)
