smile lines are dynamic, and caused by a lot of things. over-expression, facial musculature, cheek fat distribution, bone structure (zygos), etc. ppl who don't have smile lines are ppl who have literally zero facial expression. it's definitely not aging. it's either expression lines or just ur facial structure (ppl with narrower faces, flatter midfaces, etc), or both.

to improve it: if u have bad posture fix it. ex: forward head posture exaggerates nasolabial shadows. also sleep well. chronic undersleep deepens facial folds/creases. and don't go out in the sun too much. use skincare with SPF in it. prioritize drinking enough water and don't lower bf% down to single digits.

edit: mark solution bhai

over-expression

What does over-expression mean? Is it like literally over expressing ur face or like the gene overexpression thing

over expressing ur face

it's like having more a more animated face, like I do this too. sometimes I find myself subconsciously raising my eyebrows for whatever reason, or randomly doing various facial expressions.
