People with furrowed brows have very expressive faces. This can be seen in the lines on your forehead and between your eyebrows. These lines are created over time as people grow older and use their faces to express what they are saying.
The term “furrowed brow” is often used to describe someone who looks worried or concerned. A furrow is a line, crease, or wrinkle in the skin, usually caused by the movement of muscles underneath. On the forehead, furrows are commonly referred to as brow furrows or frown lines.
While brow furrows may appear to be a sign of worry or sadness, they can also be caused by other emotions, such as curiosity or confusion. In fact, many people who have furrowed brows are actually quite happy!
So, if you see someone with a furrowed brow, don’t automatically assume they’re frowning, confused, or angry. It could just be wrinkles caused by an expression of emotion over time, and not necessarily an indication of how they’re really feeling.
