Which term denotes non-verbal cues expressing feelings or intentions?

Non-verbal signals that show how someone feels or what they intend are described as body language. This umbrella term covers gestures, posture, movements, and even the way a person holds themselves—everything conveyed without words. The other options are narrower or specific: eye contact and facial expressions are individual components of body language, while verbal tone is a vocal cue spoken aloud. In skincare and facial massage, noticing body language helps you gauge a client’s comfort, understanding, and engagement, guiding how you communicate and proceed with the treatment.
