'''Sunscreen''' is a product used to reduce the skin's exposure to ultraviolet radiation. It is one component of sun protection alongside shade and protective clothing, and is discussed in looksmaxxing as a form of [[softmaxxing]].<ref name="ex27-fda" />

== In the stack ==
In an appearance-care context, sunscreen concerns protection from ultraviolet damage rather than a change to facial bone structure. The FDA advises combining sunscreen with other sun-protection measures. See [[Skin]] and [[Softmaxxing]].<ref name="ex27-fda" />

== Protection and labelling ==
Sunscreen products reduce exposure of the skin to ultraviolet radiation. The United States Food and Drug Administration treats them as one part of sun protection, alongside shade and clothing. Protection depends on the product's tested properties and on how it is used. A product label is therefore more informative than advertising terms such as a cosmetic “glow.”<ref name="ex27-fda">[https://www.fda.gov/drugs/understanding-over-counter-medicines/sunscreen-how-help-protect-your-skin-sun FDA, “Sunscreen: How to Help Protect Your Skin from the Sun”].</ref>

=== SPF and broad spectrum ===
Sun protection factor, or SPF, compares the ultraviolet exposure required to produce sunburn on protected and unprotected skin. It is a measure of exposure, not a number of hours for which a person can safely remain outside. The same length of time can involve different exposures depending on the intensity of sunlight.<ref name="ex27-fda" />

The designation ''broad spectrum'' concerns protection against both UVA and UVB radiation. The FDA explains that broad-spectrum products with SPF 15 or higher, used as directed with other protective measures, can reduce the risk of skin cancer and early skin ageing. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends choosing broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. These are attributed recommendations from different organizations; they should not be confused with a guarantee that any product prevents all damage.<ref name="ex27-fda" /><ref name="ex27-aad">[https://www.aad.org/public/everyday-care/sun-protection/shade-clothing-sunscreen/how-to-select-sunscreen American Academy of Dermatology, “How to select a sunscreen”].</ref>

=== Water resistance ===
No sunscreen is waterproof. In United States labelling, a water-resistance claim specifies testing for either 40 or 80 minutes during swimming or sweating. This does not eliminate the need to reapply the product. Directions on the container explain when reapplication is necessary; the FDA's general guidance includes at least every two hours and more often with swimming or sweating.<ref name="ex27-fda" />

== Coverage and limitations ==
The FDA identifies frequently missed areas including the ears, lips, back of the neck, hands, feet, hairline and exposed scalp. An uneven application can leave some skin less protected than the label's testing might suggest. Different forms, including lotions, sticks and sprays, have their own directions. Reading those directions is part of correct use.<ref name="ex27-fda" />

Sunscreen is not a reason to abandon shade, protective clothing or limits on intense sun exposure. The FDA also advises protecting products from excessive heat and direct sunlight and checking their expiration information. This makes sunscreen a continuing protective practice, rather than a procedure that permanently changes facial structure or skin colour.<ref name="ex27-fda" />

Skin

{{Short description|Protective organ forming the body’s outer covering}}
{{Infobox term
| image = Skin.png
| caption = Layers of human skin (Wikimedia Commons, PD)
| name = Skin
| field = Face
}}
'''Skin''' is the body's outer protective organ, with roles in sensation, temperature regulation and preventing water loss. Its appearance includes colour, texture and visible conditions such as [[Acne|acne]]. In looksmaxxing, these appearance-related questions are discussed under [[Skin clarity|skin clarity]], while [[Sunscreen|sunscreen]] concerns protection from ultraviolet exposure.<ref name="ex27-niams" /> [[Facial (treatment)|Facials]] and specific treatments have separate articles.

== Structure and functions ==
Skin is the body's largest organ. It forms a protective covering, helps prevent dehydration, participates in defence against germs, regulates temperature and provides sensation. Its roles therefore extend beyond visible appearance. The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases also identifies the production of melanin and vitamin D among its functions.<ref name="ex27-niams">[https://www.niams.nih.gov/health-topics/educational-resources/health-lesson-learning-about-skin NIAMS, “Health Lesson: Learning About Skin”].</ref>

=== Epidermis, dermis and underlying tissue ===
The epidermis is the outer layer. New cells form below the surface while older cells are shed. The dermis beneath it contains blood vessels, nerve endings and glands. NIAMS's introductory account also describes the hypodermis, the deeper tissue associated with energy storage and connection to underlying structures. These layers and their different components explain why a change visible at the surface may have several possible causes.<ref name="ex27-niams" />

Melanin contributes to skin colour and protection from the sun's rays. Sweat glands help with temperature regulation, while nerves convey information about touch, pressure and temperature. Hair follicles belong to this system as well; they are not simply decorative structures placed on an otherwise inactive covering.<ref name="ex27-niams" />

== Injury and repair ==
Following a cut or scrape, platelets participate in the formation of a clot. A scab can cover the damaged area while new cells replace injured tissue. Deeper damage may leave a scar. This repair process is distinct from an immediate cosmetic change in colour or texture.<ref name="ex27-niams" />

A bruise, by contrast, can occur beneath an unbroken surface when small blood vessels are damaged. NIAMS explains the characteristic changes in colour as the material from the damaged vessels is broken down. The surface appearance alone does not make a bruise equivalent to pigmentation, acne or a scar.<ref name="ex27-niams" />

== Conditions and appearance ==
NIAMS discusses conditions including acne and eczema as health problems with differing causes and manifestations. Eczema can involve dry, itchy patches and triggers that vary between individuals. Acne is not explained simply by declaring the skin dirty. Treating every visible mark as the same problem obscures these distinctions.<ref name="ex27-niams" />

In an appearance encyclopedia, [[Skin clarity]], [[Acne]], [[Sunscreen]] and related articles address narrower questions. Anatomy supplies a basis for understanding those topics, but it does not establish that a particular cosmetic product or treatment is appropriate for an individual. Modern treatment claims require current evidence in addition to a historical anatomical illustration.

Mewing

{{Infobox term
| field = Looksmaxxing
| image = Mewing charcoal.jpg
| caption = Charcoal study: tongue against palate (Astra, 2026)
| name = Mewing
| coined = John and Mike Mew (orthotropics); popularized on looksmaxxing forums
}}
'''Mewing''' is a practice promoted online in which the tongue is held against the palate with the claimed aim of changing the jawline or facial appearance. The American Association of Orthodontists says claims that it can reshape the jaw or improve the bite lack scientific support.<ref name="ex27-aao" />

== This wiki's view ==
Popularity and before-and-after photographs should not be treated as proof of lasting structural change. This article describes the claim and the clinical assessment; it does not endorse a universal tongue-pressure routine.

== Claims and clinical assessment ==
The AAO says that claims of reshaping the jaw or improving the bite through these exercises are not supported by scientific evidence. Its statement is professional patient guidance, rather than a report of a controlled trial of a particular online routine.<ref name="ex27-aao">[https://aaoinfo.org/whats-trending/is-mewing-bad-for-you/ American Association of Orthodontists, “Does Mewing Actually Reshape Your Jaw?”].</ref>

== Distinction from orthodontic treatment ==
Orthodontic treatment involves assessment and a planned application of forces, with professional supervision. It is not equivalent to attempting to change the bite by pressing with the tongue. The AAO's patient information discusses the complexity of tooth position and jaw relationships and warns against treating a social-media demonstration as an individualized treatment plan.<ref name="ex27-aao" />

== Potential adverse effects ==
In its discussion of viral dental trends, the AAO warns that attempts to alter tongue position or apply inappropriate pressure can disturb alignment and contribute to problems with chewing or speech. These are concerns about the promoted intervention, not a claim that ordinary comfortable tongue rest or nasal breathing has the same effects.<ref name="ex27-aao-toothtok">[https://aaoinfo.org/whats-trending/why-viral-tik-tok-tooth-trends-harm-your-teeth/ American Association of Orthodontists, “ToothTok: How Viral Teeth Trends May Hurt Your Oral Health”].</ref>

The same source stresses that the mouth is a connected mechanical system: changing the position of one part can affect how the other parts fit together. A concern about a bite or a persistent functional problem consequently calls for an individual dental assessment, rather than a universal exercise claimed to produce a particular appearance.<ref name="ex27-aao-toothtok" />

Bonesmashing

{{Infobox term
| image = Human skull front bones numbered.svg
| caption = Facial skeleton (Commons). Bonesmashing is a forum claim about hitting bone to force growth. This wiki describes the claim. It does '''not''' instruct it.
| alt = Frontal skull with bones labeled
| name = Bonesmashing
| also = bone smashing
| field = Hardmaxxing (described as injury)
| origin = Looksmaxxing forums; later TikTok
| related = [[Hardmaxxing]]; [[Jawline]]
}}
'''Bonesmashing''' is an online appearance claim that deliberately injuring facial bones will produce a more chiselled face after healing. Cleveland Clinic describes it as an unsupported claim and expresses concern about its promotion as self-injury.<ref name="ex27-clinic" /> This article describes the claim and its risks, not instructions for carrying it out.

== Risk, not a method ==
Deliberate facial impacts can cause injury rather than a predictable cosmetic result. A broken or dislocated jaw requires medical assessment; bleeding, infection and impaired tooth alignment are among the complications described by MedlinePlus.<ref name="ex27-jaw" /> See [[Hardmaxxing]] and [[Surgical pitfalls]].

== The online claim ==
In its discussion of looksmaxxing, Cleveland Clinic describes the claim that deliberately injuring facial bones will produce a more chiselled appearance after healing. It attributes that claim to influencers and says it lacks evidence. The description documents an online belief; it does not establish that injury produces the promised result.<ref name="ex27-clinic">[https://health.clevelandclinic.org/looksmaxxing Cleveland Clinic, “Looksmaxxing: What It Is and Why It Can Be Harmful”].</ref>

The clinic's account says the practice appears uncommon, while expressing concern about its promotion as self-injury. This distinction matters: the circulation of a video or slogan is not a reliable measure of how many people carry out the behaviour. Nor is the apparent popularity of a claim evidence of clinical efficacy.<ref name="ex27-clinic" />

== Facial injury is a clinical problem ==
A fracture is a break in a bone; a dislocation involves movement out of the normal position at a joint. MedlinePlus distinguishes these problems in its account of jaw injury. Complications can include bleeding, infection, numbness, difficulties with eating or speaking and problems with tooth alignment. These are consequences requiring assessment, rather than controllable steps toward a chosen facial shape.<ref name="ex27-jaw">[https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000019.htm MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia, “Broken or dislocated jaw”].</ref>

MedlinePlus advises prompt medical attention for a suspected broken or dislocated jaw and identifies breathing difficulty or heavy bleeding as emergency symptoms. It also warns against attempting to reposition a dislocated jaw oneself. An online appearance discussion cannot determine the extent of an injury or substitute for that assessment.<ref name="ex27-jaw" />

== Interpreting appearance claims ==
The distinction between the claim and the documented injury should remain explicit when describing bonesmashing. Anecdotes about a changed face do not identify what tissue changed, whether the change persisted or whether an injury occurred. The cited clinical accounts provide no validated cosmetic protocol for deliberate facial impact.

Ricketts E-line

{{Short description|Nose-to-chin tangent used to judge lip position}}
{{Infobox term

}}
The '''Ricketts E-line''' (esthetic line) is a profile tangent from '''pronasale''' (nasal tip) to soft-tissue '''pogonion''' (front of the chin).<ref name="ceph">{{cite web |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephalometric_analysis |title=Cephalometric analysis |website=Wikipedia |access-date=12 October 2026}}</ref> Orthodontics asks where the vermilion of the upper and lower lips sit relative to that line. Classic Caucasian adult norms put both lips '''behind''' the line, the upper lip farther back than the lower (often recited as about −4 mm upper and −2 mm lower, with a couple of millimetres of scatter).<ref name="ceph" /> Looksmaxxing borrows it as a quick “do the lips stick out past the nose–chin line” check.

A large nose pushes the line forward and makes ordinary lips look retrusive. A weak chin does the same in reverse: lips look protrusive because Pog′ is back. The line is only as honest as the two endpoints.

[[Riedel's line]] is a different tangent (lips or nose to chin). Do not mix the two.

== Method ==
What actually moves a lip relative to the E-line:

* '''Chin''' — advancing Pog′ with [[sliding genioplasty]] or an implant brings the line back to the lips.
* '''Nose''' — rhinoplasty that changes tip projection moves the other end.
* '''Incisors and lips''' — orthodontics and veneers change lip support; that is dentistry.
* '''Fat''' — a lean face and a full face are different E-line photos. See [[body fat]].

Norms are demographic. Published Caucasian figures are not a universal target, and they are not a PSL cutoff.

== This wiki's view ==
The E-line is a useful profile word next to [[facial convexity]] and [[Riedel's line]]. It is a line on a tracing. This wiki does not treat a rating-app “E-line fail” screenshot as a surgical plan.

Buccal corridor

The '''buccal corridor''' is the dark space that shows between the buccal surfaces of the posterior maxillary teeth and the inner commissure of the lips in a posed smile.<ref name="moore">{{cite journal |last1=Moore |first1=Theodore |last2=Southard |first2=Karin A. |last3=Casko |first3=John S. |last4=Qian |first4=Fang |last5=Southard |first5=Thomas E. |title=Buccal corridors and smile esthetics |journal=American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics |volume=127 |issue=2 |year=2005 |pages=208–213 |doi=10.1016/j.ajodo.2003.11.032 |pmid=15750540}}</ref> Orthodontics measures it as a ratio of that dark area to smile width. Looksmaxxing treats a wide corridor as a “narrow smile” tell and a filled corridor as a broader, more expensive-looking smile.

It is a photographic and clinical observation, not a diagnosis. Arch width, tooth size, lip stretch, and camera distance all move it. Extraction versus non-extraction is not a corridor switch by itself.<ref name="yang">{{cite journal |last1=Yang |first1=Il-Hyung |last2=Nahm |first2=Dong-Seok |last3=Baek |first3=Seung-Hak |title=Which Hard and Soft Tissue Factors Relate with the Amount of Buccal Corridor Space during Smiling? |journal=The Angle Orthodontist |volume=78 |issue=1 |year=2008 |pages=5–11 |doi=10.2319/120906-502.1 |pmid=18193966}}</ref>

== Method ==
What actually changes the corridor is the dental arch and how far the lips pull, not a facial exercise.

* '''Orthodontics''' — arch form, expansion, and finishing. [[Palate expansion]] / [[MARPE]] is the looksmaxxing name for widening a narrow maxilla; that is an orthodontist’s call on CBCT, not a forum vote.
* '''Restorative''' — veneers and crowns can fake width; they do not grow bone.
* '''Photo''' — a wide grin and a close lens shrink the dark corners. That is a pose, not a maxilla.

Moore and colleagues digitally varied smile fullness from 2% to 28% buccal corridor; lay raters preferred the broader smiles (minimal corridors) and put large corridors on the problem list.<ref name="moore" /> Yang and colleagues found vertical face height, incisor show, and tooth material correlated with corridor area; extraction versus non-extraction did not.<ref name="yang" /> Reduction of corridors is not a reason to expand an otherwise normal maxilla.<ref name="moore" />

== This wiki's view ==
A black corner on a smile photo is a dental-arch and lip problem. Treat it as dentistry. Do not treat a rating-app “corridor %” as a diagnosis, and do not expand a normal palate to chase a screenshot number.

{{Infobox term

| origin = Incel slang

'''Chad''' is incel/looksmaxxing slang for a man at the top of the looks distribution.<ref name="wp">{{cite web |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looksmaxxing |title=Looksmaxxing |website=Wikipedia |access-date=11 September 2026}}</ref> '''[[Stacy]]''' is the female counterpart in that dialect. [[Becky]] is the average-looking rank below her. They are cartoon ranks, not diagnoses. This wiki uses given names of real people and ordinary English for everyone else.

On the [[PSL scale]], talk then splits the cartoon: [[Chadlite]] just below, [[Gigachad]] as a joke ceiling, [[PSL god]] for the model-pin-up version ([[Sean O'Pry]], [[David Gandy]]). Ranking sites that mix living streamers with Clark Kent are kayfabe; see [[Official Chad Rankings]].

Sleep

{{Infobox term

}}
'''Sleep''' changes skin, eye area, and whether you look ill.<ref name="wp">{{cite web |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Looksmaxxing |title=Looksmaxxing |website=Wikipedia |access-date=11 September 2026}}</ref> It is the least glamorous softmaxxing item and the one forums skip for chewing blocks. Dark circles, puffiness, and a "tired face" are often sleep and salt, not orbital bone. Forum '''sleepmaxxing''' is this page.
