There are so many people out there that wish they had dimples. They can help to improve the shape of your face and they will make your smile look so much better. But if you are born without dimples, there’s not really much that you can do unless you opt to have surgery to create permanent dimples. However, there are some simple ways that you can get dimples, even if they aren’t completely permanent. If you always wished that you had dimples, here’s how you can get them.
Cheek Piercings
One of the most effective ways to get dimples that will last is to get your cheeks pierced. When you have a cheek piercing, it draws your cheeks in and creates that dimple. The piercing itself accents the area and it looks great. If you don’t like the idea of a large piercing; you can still use something small and potentially even transparent if you like. However, a cheek piercing is quite drastic and there are certain dangers involved. It needs to be done very accurately so the face isn’t damaged, so make sure that you research the piercing shop first and find a reliable place to have it done. You also need to make sure that you follow a good aftercare routine (click to learn more about looking after your cheek piercing after it is done). If you want a unique look and you want to have permanent dimples, cheek piercings are the way to go. But they’re not for everybody, so you may want to consider some of these alternatives.
Facial Exercises
There are some simple facial exercises that you can try to make dimples appear on your cheeks. The first thing that you should do is simply smile. A very wide smile will cause dimples to appear naturally, so if you are taking photos, just smile more. If you practice this at home, it can also help dimples to form. You can also suck your cheeks in to create the dimples and hold it for a few seconds before releasing. If you keep repeating this, it can help dimples to form. Some people also use their fingers or the end of a pencil to push the cheeks in and hold them for a while. If you do these simple exercises on a daily basis, it could help you to get those dimples.
Makeup
If you don’t have dimples at all, or you have small ones and you want to highlight them more, you can just use makeup. In the same way that you would contour your face; you can create a dark area around where the dimple would naturally appear and give the impression that there are dimples there. It may not look quite the same as the real thing but if you don’t want to do something drastic like getting surgery and the exercises are not working for you, it’s a good option.
If you were not lucky enough to be born with dimples, you can use these simple tricks to create your own.
