What is the behavior where one closes their nose with their lips to elude foul odour called?

I have seen this question, and it is not exactly what I'm asking. Sometimes people (most especially in developing countries) raise the tip of their lips to cover their nose when a foul odour is sensed or to jeer a person. In my own language this is called 'isu imi' (To jam the nose), I'm writing a short story and I'm trying to find the best way to describe the phenomena.


Solution 1:

It's called "curling one's lip". That phrase does not usually imply actually blocking one's nostrils, but sometimes it does:

Their sickly sweet scent cloyed the damp air around him, and he curled his lip to drive the smell out of his nostrils. [link]

He curled his lip against the smell as he sloshed through the puddled urine across the pissoir's shaft base; […] [link]

Even — especially — when it doesn't involve actually blocking your nostrils, it's still an expression of anger, scorn, disgust, or similar.

Solution 2:

Swimmers call this the human nose clip.

If you can contort your face enough to do that, you won't have to wear one of these to keep water out of your nose:
