Kilay is life! Here are a few functions of our eyebrows that make life easier

There's some truth in the saying "kilay is life."

Sure, current beauty trends tend to lean towards fuller, and more natural-looking arches, and we want to look effortlessly good like Cara Delevingne everyday when we go out, but did you know that our brows have a lot of different functions that make life easier?

In an episode of AHA!, Drew Arellano explained that eyebrows actually protect our eyes from moisture and light. 

Ever notice how sweat from your forehead doesn’t always drip down to your lids? That’s because the position of your brow hairs direct moisture away from your eyes. Neat, right?

Second: Our eyebrows are communication tools. 

Whether it’s scrunching them together in anger or raising one up to show skepticism, our eyebrows allow us to express ourselves and let other people know what we’re feeling, instantly.

Finally, scientists discovered that eyebrows are key in facial recognition.

Studies suggest that it can be harder to identify a person without eyebrows. So don’t get mad when somebody sees you without your daily brow make-up and says “you look different.”
