My face looks crap unless I don't make any expressions...

I don't know how else to describe it.

Unless I'm taking a selfie and can see myself I have noticed I look terrible in pictures. For some reason as soon as I smile in a non posey way my already fairly large nose points downwards and looks a bit like a witches nose but wider which I suppose isn't something I can change unless I have a nose job.
But that gets paired with my very pronounced forehead lines that make a prominent appearance whenever I make any facial expression other than my neutral one which is basically a RBF Blush

I'm only 25 and I have noticed a pic DP took of me today and my heart sank. I don't have wrinkles as such but I slightly raised my eyebrows in the pic and my forehead is covered with lines I have noticed even in the mirror that as soon as I raise my eyebrow even a tiny bit these lines appear.

Is there anything that I can do about them or is it just an inevitable feature ?

I don't know why but as soon as I talk or move my face there seems to just be so much going on and it almost distorts my face in a weird way. I look at people around me and wonder how on earth they can talk and still look normal Confused

Am I alone in this?

Nobody else will be noticing these things about you.

Honestly this is all perfectly normal. You're over analysing it, everyone's face gets lines when they use facial expressions

Facial expressions are what make you look lively, interesting, human.
In 30 years you'll look back at those photos and think how young and lovely you look.

The thing is, everybody knows you by that face, those gestures it does, but I know exactly what you. I was once on the phone, walking around, caught myself in the mirror doing a big laugh. The face I saw then was shockingly different to what I normally see, but others see it all the time!!!
