Dr. Betty Murray explains how repeated facial expressions from emotions tighten muscles and constrict fascia, blocking lymphatic flow. This reduces collagen delivery and cellular function, showing up as visible changes in your face.
When we have those perpetual facial expressions from our emotions, what happens is the muscles tighten, the fascia constricts around it as it becomes repetitive because we don't have those opposing muscles, and then it decreases lymphatic flow, which increases toxicity and decreases collagen production because the fascia is a collagen-producing machine and the lymphatic system moves that collagen to the cell. So if we're decreasing the amount of actual function in the lymphatic system and the fascia and the muscles, we're actually decreasing the entire cell function and what shows up on the face.
