I can understand your concerns...

No, eating a bagel (doesn't matter whether it's toasted or not), then washing hands afterward with soap and water (hot or cold) then applying lotion on the face are no way related to causing any flattening or lengthening of the face or facial bones...

Doesn't matter even if touched, pressed and torn apart the bagels, they're all part of usual activities, there's no chance of any flattening or lengthening of the face or facial bones...

Not to worry at all...
