Face Viewing Day

In the bustle of everyday life, people rushing about business hardly look at those around them, glancing over them with an indifferent gaze. Few people think that each person in a faceless crowd has a unique inner world that is reflected on their face. Its expression and features allow us to draw conclusions about the mental qualities and state of health of the individual. An unusual holiday encourages you to become more attentive and observant - Face Examination Day, which is celebrated on February 10. Physiognomy is a multifaceted and precise science studied by intelligence officers around the world. Sometimes it is referred to as unconventional psychoanalysis, because from a person’s face one can draw conclusions not only about his character traits, but also about his emotional state at a given moment in time. After “removing information” and analysis, a communication model is built that allows you to achieve your goals. Reading a person's face is in demand not only by foreign and domestic intelligence services. Business representatives turn to physiognomists before conducting important negotiations and concluding deals, and company directors turn to them when hiring employees. The ability to carefully examine faces and analyze facial expressions helps in everyday life to avoid meanness, theft and other negative consequences of communicating with unfamiliar people. The main character of the American TV series Lie to Me, Dr. Lightman, believes that all people lie. It only takes him a few minutes to talk or watch a person to understand whether he is lying or telling the truth. A deceiver can be betrayed by any movement of the facial muscles, a gesture or a careless word. Lightman, as an expert in lies, helps the police in finding criminals, relying on his knowledge of physiognomy. A person, developing his senses, activates the work of certain parts of the brain, which is reflected in his face and behavior. An endocrinologist concludes that the patient has Graves' disease based on bulging eyes, a bulging goiter on the neck, and excessive sweating. An osteopath on facial asymmetry will talk about childhood injuries, chronic diseases and dental interventions in the maxillofacial apparatus. An experienced physiognomist will describe in detail a person’s character, behavior pattern depending on the situation, and talk about the events of his past. The forehead is responsible for the intellectual sphere, the nose - for responsibility and goal-setting, the jaw - for the attitude towards material values. Facial symmetry and asymmetry is considered a basic element of analysis. Different hemispheres of the brain are responsible for logical thinking and creativity. The right is considered feminine, the left is considered masculine. The predominance of one or the other hemisphere increases depending on gender. In men with pronounced asymmetry, it is considered a good sign if the right half of the face is dominant. If the left side is actively expressed (more eyes or ears, the nose goes to the left, there is a dimple on the cheek, etc.), this indicates that he has developed intuition and imagination, since feminine energy predominates. A person’s face is formed by the age of 14. Despite the fact that the shape of the ears changes over the years, they are also taken into account when drawing up the characteristics, as are the drooping corners of the eyes, the hump on the nose and the shape of the nostrils. Playing, pronounced nodules indicate the presence of strong-willed qualities, a developed square jaw indicates the determination and intransigence of the owner. The Day of Looking at Faces invites everyone to make these and other discoveries.
