This sounds like cope, but hear me out. To sum it up, strengthening one muscle without strengthening its antagonist will cause a postural change in favor of the strengthened muscle. In other words, if you strengthen the squinching muscles enough, eventually you'll permasquinch slightly. One of the keys is though you probably have to do more strength training type exercises for the face as opposed to stamina exercises, so basically you want to try and add resistance.
Proof for posture change caused by muscle strengthening: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S002561961261372X
Applications:
Droopy upper eyelid: You can strengthen the upper eyelid muscle so that it raises up more: https://www.healthline.com/health/droopy-eyelid-exercises
Lower eyelid: Look up facial exercises for this, elongated squinching is a start
Downturned mouth corners at rest: Facial exercises to strengthen muscles involved in smiling
Theoretically you can slightly lower your eyebrows by doing this as well.
