Apparently THIS will be the selfie pose of 2017

Start early

WORDS - OLIVIA HARVEY

Technically, “selfies” have been a thing since the camera was first invented back in the 1800s. But only recently have selfies become so mainstream that you probably can’t get through your day without seeing one. It’s even hard to find a “run of the mill” selfie these days with all the new poses and selfie-taking techniques being invented on the daily. The “surprised” face, the simple pout, last year’s fish gape — we all have ways of expressing ourselves! Speaking of which, the “it” selfie pose of 2017 is the hands-on-your-face selfie, and it’s exactly what it sounds like.

Feel free to get creative with the hands-on-your-face selfie. Bite the tip of your thumb. Bite your pointer finger. Heck, cover up half your face with your hand. It doesn’t matter! As long as your hand is on your face somewhere, you’re killing the hands-on-your-face selfie trend.

Guys, all the celebs are doing it. It’s a real thing! We swear!
