Winter is hanging on for another week, but you can combat the frosty season by putting on a smile. Research shows that if you want to look agreeable, approachable, successful, and ready for socialization, donning a smile will do the trick. Make them genuine though – your smile can be detected in the rest of your facial features (in approximately 44 different points!), so donning a fake smile, could make you seem insincere. Smiling makes you look younger and more attractive, is your best accessory, and is contagious.

A smile leads to happiness, and happiness is good for the heart. The action could also help strengthen your immune system, since happier people are less prone to illnesses. Donning a smile lowers your stress level, makes you feel more confident, and helps you stay positive.
Not only will smiling make you feel better, but smiling has also been found to increase your perception of others. Do you work with someone who’s insufferable? Make a point to genuinely smile at them as you say hello in the morning and you may find them more tolerable.
Here are some smile-boosting options I use for lovely lips:

What a great post! I’m all about smile-enhancing products, especially since I’ve quit smoking. My favorite right now is Benefit’s “California Kissin’,” which makes my teeth look really white. Next time we hang out you should check it out.

Ohhh! I use to use “soft lips” but then I stopped because I couldn’t find it anywhere. I do agree, your smile is your best accessory indeed! ?
