You can tone the muscles of your face
with exercises in the same way that you tone the muscles in your body.
It takes consistent regular practice to see results, but it is a lot
cheaper and less unpredictable than going under the knife.
The exercise
sequence below only takes about 10
minutes and is a great way to wind-down and relax at the end of the day. Do it at least 4-5 times a week and you should notice your chin and jaw are firmer, your cheekbones are more defined and any frown-lines are eased.
Obviously, the results are amplified if you also feed your skin with a low sugar (sugar = wrinkles and sagging skin), high nutrient diet rich in vitamins, antioxidants and essential fats.
Facial Workout Helps to activate, tone and strengthen muscles, and release tension in the face and neck.
1. Sit or stand comfortably, spine
straight. Close your eyes, take at least 3 deep, slow abdominal breaths. Drop your shoulders down and loosen and relax your face and body.
2. Breathing in, slowly and gently
turn your head to the right keeping your chin up parallel to the floor. Then breathing out return your head to the centre.
Breathing in, slowly and gently
turn your head to the left keeping your chin up parallel to the floor. Then breathing out return your head to the centre.
3. Breathing in slowly and gently
lower your head until your chin rests on or near your chest. Take a few slow, deep breaths and feel the stretch through the back of your neck. Then
breathing out return your head to the centre. Breathing in raise your head and
lower it very gently backwards. With your head back, lips closed, start
a chewing movement with your back teeth. Perform 20 'chews' working the muscles of your jaw and neck.
Lower your head back to the centre position.
4. (straight mouth smile) With your mouth closed stretch your mouth out towards your ears. Pull from your outer face/upper jaw rather than using the muscles around your mouth (repeat 20 times)
5. (sad mouth) With your mouth closed stretch the corners of your mouth down towards your chin. Pull from the sides of your lower jaw rather than using the muscles around your mouth (repeat 20 times)
6. With your lips closed and head up imagine that there is a spring resting from under your chin to your upper neck. Use your chin to compress the imaginary spring and then release it (repeat 20 times)
7. Open your eyes wide and raise your eyebrows as high as you can (repeat 20 times)
If you like you can finish off with these further tension releasing movements:
Lift your shoulders in a shrug, hold and release.
Sit straight and try to push your shoulder blades down and together as much as possible.
Place you palms on the opposite shoulders and take a few deep, slow breaths.Release your arms to your sides.
