Scalp Health and Facial Muscles Explained

Your scalp has a "dangerous layer." It’s the fourth layer in, a loose tissue with

veins that are a direct highway to your brain. This is why a simple scalp infection

can get serious and lead to meningitis. Speaking of your face, the muscle you use

for blowing out candles is the first to recover from Bell's Palsy. But the muscle that

shows surprise? That’s the very last one to come back. And it's all protected

by your skull, which in babies, has soft spots called fontanels that give the brain space

to grow before fusing shut.
