  1. Another way to reduce wrinkles (without surgery or skin products) is to sleep on your back. Pressing your face against a pillow every night for years stretches out your skin and leads to wrinkles.

    Another good facial exercise is to: step 1 stick your tongue out as far as you can and roll your eyes up hold for 30 seconds, repeat and for your neck: stick out your bottom teeth and tighten your neck, do this several times. You will be able to tell it is working on your neck muscles because you will be a little sore just like if you have done an aerobic workout!

    Facial exercises not only benefit the supportive muscles, but also improve the skin and skin tone, as the increased blood flow to the skin assists in bringing nutrition to, and removing toxins from the skin. The elasticity and health of the skin is determined greatly on the underlying tone, strength and vitality of the supporting facial muscles. Facial muscle exercises, just like body muscle exercises, must be done regularly to achieve and maintain results. To get your facial muscles up to speed again, do these facial exercises daily, for at least a month, or until the desired effect is achieved, and then do these exercises at least three times a week to maintain the results

    These lines, wrinkles, folds and bags are not really wrinkles and lines as such, but are the supportive muscles in your face going soft - losing firmness, and not supporting the skin any more. Facial exercises can help with this - creating that face lift look with a non-surgical procedure.

  13. There are different facial exercises for the different parts of the face. Some exercises are concentrated on the forehead to improve facial lines. Some target the mouth and the chin to get rid of sagging skin and double chins. These exercises, like the one stated above, are simple habits that when done regularly, can have visible and impressive results.

    When you lose weight, as a girl, the first places to lose weight are the boobs and face. There are no real exercises for face toning, but it's just one of those areas that loses weight first when you do a lot of cardio and working out in general

    Facial massage is an effective way to counter wrinkles. Massage is a slow process and its results are obvious only when it is continued for a longer period. It is, indeed, not a magic wand to bring a change overnight. One has to be patient with it. There is, how ever, no doubt that massage reduces the un-attractive fleshiness, tightens the tissues and muscles and increases blood circulation.

    Facial exercises help to build the underlying muscles of the face and this in turn helps to replace some of the fat, collagen and volume that is naturally lost in the face as we age.

  23. I completely agree with this. I've been using these exercises for a long time, and they really do promote proper blood flow in the face.

    They can be used to smooth out wrinkles, and I know that some professionals have argued against their effectiveness, but almost all of those critics are in the cosmetic surgery field, which makes their statements seem jaded.
