You don’t have to opt for a surgical facelift to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles. There are several facial exercises you can use in your daily routine to help fight the biological clock.
Your face has over 100 muscles in it. They need to be exercised just like the rest of your body. These facial exercises help tone and renew the muscles of the face, give support to the skin, and soften fine line and wrinkles.
Exercising your face is completely different from massaging it though, which can actually pull the skin apart and make wrinkles worse. There is one exception from the previous page, that shows you how to target wrinkles in certain areas of the face. It is effective and does work on the areas that it's recommended to be used.
Before beginning the exercises, your skin should be cleaned, toned, and moisturized.
Keep your shoulders and the rest of your body relaxed while working the facial exercise program.
It is recommended that these natural facelift exercises be done every day for a month to help muscles regain new life. After that, maintain your renewed look by doing them at least 3 times a week. Before beginning the exercises, your skin should be cleaned, toned, and moisturized. Keep your shoulders and the rest of your body relaxed while working the facial exercise program.
Natural Facelift
Practice Sneezing - Open your eyes and your mouth wide. Take a deep breath and pretend to sneeze. Squeeze your eyes shut and purse your lips. Let out all your breath. Hold this for 5 seconds and repeat 10 times. This warms up all the facial muscles.
Fish Mouth - Open your mouth half way and draw your lips in over your teeth. Hold for 10 seconds. Let go and purse your lips out, as when making the ‘oo’ sound. Hold for 10 seconds. Relax and repeat 5 times.
Grimace - Tense all the muscles in the front of the neck. You will feel it pull up at the sides of your mouth. Hold, remember to breathe, and move your head forward, to one side, back, then to the other side and back to center. Repeat this 5 times.
Roll the Ball - Puff the right cheek out with a ball of air. Hold the pressure for 5 seconds, then roll the ball to the upper lip. Hold for 5 seconds. Now move the air ball to the other left cheek and hold for 5 seconds. Move the air ball under the lower lip and hold for 5 seconds. Relax and repeat the rotation 5 times.
Fingers Across the Forehead - First raise and lower the eyebrows 5 times, holding each time for 5 seconds. Now place all your fingertips on the forehead, above the eyes and about half way up to the hairline. Apply medium pressure and repeat raising and lowering the brows 5 times, holding each position for 5 seconds. Feel the resistance and contraction beneath your fingertips. Relax.
Breath and relax - Finally, relax all your body, relax the face and think about how your face feels. Picture in mind that you are young and serene. Hold that thought for a minute. Relax and breathe deeply, using your diaphram and your lungs.
Once you get a rhythm going, it will only take a few minutes to implement the natural facelift routine into your schedule. The more you use it, the more refreshed your fine lines and wrinkles will be. Of course, you'll also help turn back the biological clock and actually look like you got a surgical facelift!
