That's not necessarily true for everybody.  Some people's faces come to rest in a smile, like President Jimmy Carter.  Some other people's faces come to rest with the corners of the mouth turned down.\n\nThe effort and muscle comes in when you make your face do something other than its resting point.

Since laughing is also considered an exercise, it does help the mouth and face muscles to firm up a bit if you laugh for 1 minute straight but not as mentioned in your question. I still think vigorous exercisese like running, jogging, skipping and cycling are better in losing weight. By shaking your legs and body while sitting down and running on the spot for 15mins in a stretch daily, are also a good forms of exercise if you have no time to do the ones I just mentioned.

When you feel certain emotions (like embarassment), then your body reacts by releasing chemicals that cause stuff in your body to happen. When you become embarrassed, the empty blood vessels in your cheeks get filled up with blood. This causes your face to get red.\n\n(The reason your body does this is because it associates certain emotions with feeling cold, so it pumps more warm blood to warm you up.)

When you work out your muscles get tiny tears in them, this along with lactic acid build up secreted by the muscles during exercise are what make you feel sore. When your body undergoes protein synthesis and muscle regeneration the tears are healed with another layer of muscle tissue. Over time the tissue will increase a noticeable amount and will increase the size of the actual muscles. In order for protein synthesis and muscle generation to take place you need to work out hard with a balanced diet and plenty of fluids.

Streching. Get a Yoga book from the local library. Streching increases the rate of metabolism in one's body, which causes faster muscle build up. If you work out regularly, you will no longer feel soreness in your muscles.

in my humble opinion the difference is.....a scowl is mostly when your unhappy,in a bad mood...a frown is more light hearted,,can be just pensive thinking,deep in thought...a little worried perhaps ...

because when you laugh your brain releases endorphins (a chemical in your brain) that make you feel good. same thing if you run alot, also called runners high. it just makes you feel happy, or better. which is also good if your depressed or something. just run and laugh alot. lol. :)

Learning to smile when your angry helps take the edge off.  Sometimes even laughter helps, it may make the other person mad at you because they don't know why your laughing but it helps.  Walking away helps, I know even for me with my mean self, I ususally can't walk away from a good argument, but I have learned to do it so I can be at peace.

Crying or weeping is increased production of tear due to strong emotional stress or pain. This practice is not restricted to negative emotions; many people have been known to cry when extremely happy. \n\nIn humans, emotional tears can be accompanied by reddening of the face and sobbing — cough-like, convulsive breathing, sometimes involving spasms of the whole upper body. Tears brought about by emotions have a different chemical make up than those for lubrication. As one of your other readers have pointed out crying releases a lot of stress and carries with it harmful chemicals away from your body.\n\nHave you not heard the phrase, "cry your heart out"... it makes good sense to cry out your feelings as it is bad to hold in emotions.... they say holding back really builds up toxins that can even lead to cancer.

Although it is often muscles working together to perform an action, the muscle mainly responsible for a frown, is the depressor anguli oris.
