nose wrinkling

Disgust face movement

Nose wrinkling is the facial expression of scrunching the nose, typically signaling disgust, distaste, or disapproval.

It can also indicate confusion or concentration: Her nose wrinkling was the only sign she found the smell offensive.

The gesture is often involuntary, a reflexive response to something unpleasant.
