nose scrunch
Sniff-like facial expression
A nose scrunch is the facial expression made by wrinkling the nose, typically conveying playfulness, mild disgust, or affectionate teasing.
It involves contracting the muscles that pull the nose upward and create creases across the bridge: She gave a little nose scrunch when he suggested pineapple on pizza.
The gesture often accompanies smiling and signals lighthearted disapproval or cuteness.
