5 simple facial exercises for a beautiful face

The best time to start doing facial exercises is before the facial muscles begin to weaken and lose their tone and firmness

Beautiful smiling woman | Facial exercisesTo improve our looks, we join a gym or start exercises like walking, swimming, and yoga and achieve fitness of the body. But, what about your face? Ever thought of exercising your facial muscles? Yes, doing facial exercises regularly can will not only help you tone your face but also give you that inner glow, taking several years off your face.

Beauty lies within

Our face is made up of 57 muscles. Yet, for most people, fitness starts only from the shoulder level, going down. Muscles have a tendency to increase in size and firmness when they are exercised. Giving your face a workout can help build and firm your facial and neck muscles.

So can this produce just as astonishing results as an expensive procedure or surgery would? Yes, if you start early and do these facial exercises regularly. Minute by minute, day by day, you can work on yourself and sculpt your face.

Facial exercises for a healthy and glowing face

Facial exercises are like face yoga, and they promote the production of healthier, more resilient cells naturally. Muscle fibre and connective tissue must be challenged to remain vital, healthy and youthful. Facial exercises improve the flow of blood to the face and more oxygen and nutrition reaches the skin. It is a non-surgical way to improve the problem areas of the face such as:

  1. Droopy eyelids
  2. Crow’s feet
  3. Under eye puffiness
  4. Sagging cheeks
  5. Cheek folds
  6. Droopy jaw line
  7. Vertical line around the lips
  8. Thinning lips
  9. Double chin effect
  10. Loose skin on the neck area.

For the first month, devote at least 10 minutes daily to do these facial exercises. Later you can do them four times a week. Because the facial muscles are small and easily isolated, truly dramatic results will be achieved in a short time span.

Benefits of facial exercises

  • It stimulates blood circulation to feed the cells of the outer layers, promoting better colour and skin tone.
  • It rejuvenates the elasticity and natural collagen, and smooths sunken areas of the face.
  • It diminishes fine lines and softens deeper lines to create a more firm and youthful texture.
  • It brightens and tightens the skin.

People of all age groups, right from 16 – 72 years, benefit from these facial exercises. The younger have problems of heavy cheeks or double chin. The middle age complain of toning up, and 45 and above for sagginess and deep naso-labial folds and wrinkles. It works well both for sculpting and toning the face as well as for delaying and reversing the effects of aging.
