Try These Exercises For Your Face

Try These Exercises For Your Face

You can still give those facial muscles a workout with no equipment at all. Try any or all of these exercises. You won’t notice results right away, but stick with them for at least six weeks and see if you notice a difference.

When performing these moves, keep your neck and facial muscles relaxed and avoid tensing them.

Lips and cheeks

Both of these exercises are supposed to help tighten the areas around the mouth and cheeks but note that repetitive motion like this can promote wrinkles.

• Kiss and grin – Pucker your lips and stick them out, as if you’re giving someone a big kiss. Then pull your lips back into a wide grin. Hold each position for a second or two; the two movements together count as one rep. Repeat for 10 reps.
• Straw exercise – Purse your lips as if you’re sucking on a straw. Hold for a count of five. Repeat 10 to 20 times.

Eyelids

Hooded eyes are sometimes genetic, but they can also happen as you age and the skin of your eyelids starts to droop.

1. Close your eyes tightly.
2. Roll your eyeballs up toward the sky with your eyelids still closed.
3. Keep your eyes pointed up for 20-30 seconds.
4. Go through this sequence 2-3 times.

Two exercises for double chins

Try one or both of these exercises designed to help reduce double chins.

1. 1. Sit in a straight-backed chair and look straight ahead. Lean your head back and face the ceiling. Open your mouth into a round O without stressing it; hold for a count of 10 to 20, close your mouth and return to the starting position. Repeat 8 to 12 times.
   2. Tilt your head back to look at the ceiling. Lift your lower lip over your top lip. This may be difficult, so only stretch your lip as far as you comfortably can. Hold for a count of five. Repeat 5 to 10 times.

You may find an improvement in your appearance, or you might not see any difference at all. To contribute to a youthful look, you can add drinking plenty of water and anti-aging products to your facial care routine.
