Your face is a thing of beauty. Unfortunately, maintaining it firmer, smoother, and free from blemishes becomes stressful with aging. You might have read or heard about many solutions to keep your facial skin youthful and glowing. Some of you have come across face yoga or facial exercises. Do they actually work? Keep Scrolling to learn some facts you need to know.
What are Facial Exercises?
Just like the other parts of your body, your face and neck have fifty-seven muscles that need exercise to stay toned and fit. They will become saggy and worn out if you do not work them.
Facial exercises mean practicing strategic facial movements using stretching and repetitive motion to activate the skin cell regeneration, prevent sagging, and promote a youthful complexion.
How Do Facial Exercises Work?
Facial muscles get firmer with exercise, just like other muscles in your body. The stronger muscles provide volume and tightness to your face. A consistent facial workout can give noticeable results.
There is a direct link between face yoga and the antiaging effects on facial skin. Sagging is caused by several internal and external factors, and facial exercise has the ability to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, tone facial muscles, and prevent them from sliding down. In addition, it promotes the production of collagen and elastin proteins that provide structural support and flexibility.
Easy Facial Exercises to Try at Home
You can try these simple and easy facial exercises to tone your complexion whenever you are relaxing at home.
• For Round & Plump Cheeks
Smile widely and press your fingertips onto the folds between your nose and lips. Try to lift the muscles while pushing down the fingertips. It will create resistance and strengthen your cheek muscles, providing a plump appearance.
• For a Tighter Neck
The neck usually shows the earliest signs of aging. A little exercise can help tighten the neck muscles. For this purpose, press your tongue onto the top of your mouth, look upwards, smile, and swallow. Continue doing it for 30-60 seconds. Repeat the exercise daily for better results.
• To Smoothen Wrinkles on Your Forehead
To smoothen out the lines on your forehead, frown tightly and bring your brows closer to each other. Then, do the opposite and lift them up and open your eyes widely. Repeat the process five to six times daily.
• For Lifted Cheekbones
To get a lifted cheekbone look, place your fingers over your cheekbones, gently lift the skin, open your mouth to form an O, hold for five seconds and repeat the process for a minimum of 15-20 times daily.
The Bottom Line
Botox, Fillers, and PRP are the standard treatments for the ultimate facial rejuvenation. They are highly effective in improving the appearance of your face by reducing the visible signs of aging. But facial exercises are non-toxic, non-invasive, and safe for everyone. However, the results are slower and not dramatic but help to tone your complexion.
