Word For Facial Expressions

[joko]

what is the word to mean 'facial expression'?

I don't mean emotions, like sad, happy etc

i mean literal facial expressions, ones that have no other meaning than an action with your face -
such as frown, smirk, pout etc

i was googling and i realised i couldnt think of a word or expression to separate just those kinds of words.

all the ones i found brought up ones that would need "he pulled a xxx face" or something to use them

is there one?

thanks :)

Kines? The OED defines a kine as,

"An isolable element of body movement or gesture made in non-vocal communication."

A man of doleful countenance. Don Quixote. A sad face?
