It is not only a bright blush on the face that indicates that a person is lying. It has long been noted that a liar often touches his face, adjusts something on his clothes and makes a lot of other distracting movements.

But a person who looks calm and does not hint at deception with any gesture can be identified by his smile.

Let's try to find out what the smile of liars, hypocrites and gossips looks like.

The expert noted that any emotion can serve as a mask for a liar, but most often, deceivers try on a smile.
