Ever since I started working out.. my face has gotten better looking. It's weird.. but hey I don't mind :). Right now I'm at the point where I've gotten near the 10% BF mark.. and was going to continue cutting until I hit 8%. However, I guess to make my face 'look better' in around a month.. is it better to bulk or cut? I know there's no facial muscles to actually work out.. hehe.

Well.. basically I lost the 'chubby' look.. and now I've been told that I look pretty skinny and such.. I guess I meant that if I started a completely CLEAN bulk.. would there be any facial muscle buildup or would it be fat? lol.. yeah I know it sounds silly because there's no way to build facial muscles., but I see plenty of guys who have been working out for many many years who look to have a very lean and muscular look to their faces.

I know EXACTLY what you mean and you're wrong to a certain degree. The face definitely has muscles which are worked when you lift. Take a look in the mirror while doing a set of squats. I don't know about anyone else but my face contorts something awful. That in itself is working those facial muscles. My face has "firmed up" considerably since I began training again. Also, when I get to <8%, my jaw outline appears different as well as my cheekbones.

It's said that doing squats causes increases in muscle through the whole body, even in muscles not used, so I suppose that applies to your face as well.
