Kiss me here

Doing facial toning exercises can help improve your looks(and make you more kissable).

Just think for a second, which part of the face would you choose to plant a kiss?

Most people would go for the cheeks or the lips.

But what if you have flabby cheeks? Or droopy mouth corners that turn downwards?

No worries. Face exercises can help revive your looks.

As you all know, toned and firm cheeks is the symbol of youth. And a mouth corner lift will make you more attractive because you now look relaxed and happy.

However, facial muscles are prone to sagging if they are not exercised enough. The face muscles lose their tone and strength with age and the constant pull of gravity.

In addition, unhealthy lifestyle habits can also make you look old prematurely. Eating poorly, lack of sleep and rest, indulging in alcohol or smoking, would take a toll on your health and appearance.

In order to maintain healthy skin and muscles, you do need to provide adequate nourishment for your body to rebuild and rejuvenate.

This is the reason why you get the best results when you combine good skin care and a sensible diet with your facial exercises.

Whilst you cannot escape Newton’s Law of Gravity, you can certainly slow down the aging process right now.

To reverse the downward facial sag in the cheeks and mouth corners, you would have to firm up your facial muscles. This can be achieved via face exercises.

Your goal is to regain muscle tone and natural firmness to your face muscles.

But why do I choose to target the cheeks and lips?

That’s because flabby cheeks and droopy mouth corners are pretty common with advancing age. It happens naturally.

However, by toning and firming the cheeks and lips area, you can dramatically improve your looks.

Here are three simple facial toning exercises to help firm your cheeks and lips. Perform the exercises daily.

Face Exercise 1
1. Inflate both of your cheeks with air.
2. Move the air from one cheek to the other.
3. Keep doing this until you are out of breath.
4. Do a set of 5.

Face Exercise 2
1. Gently smile and lift up the corners of your mouth.
2. Keep the eyes and other muscles of the face relaxed as you smile.
3. Hold the smile for 10 seconds.
4. Do a set of 5.

Face Exercise 3
1. Purse your lips slightly and smile.
2. Imagine you are a fish smiling.
3. Suck your cheeks into the hollows of your face.
4. Hold this position for 5 seconds.
5. Do a set of 5.

Did I say it was easy? I like to keep my face workout simple and effective.

These work for both gals and guys.

What can face exercises really do for your face?

Plenty… provided you do the right facial exercises consistently.

For women, our facial appearance changes noticeably in our 30s and 40s. The skin loses its suppleness, the high cheekbones is less defined, and the apple of the cheek (oops where did it go?).

If you are observant, you would notice that the first signs of aging often show up in the face and neck area? Fine lines appear on the face and “rings” around the neck.

The cheeks slide down. Face feels a little flabby. The facial contour is fuller. You see jowls. And for some, a double chin.

Most of us take good care of our skin. We have a daily regime to cleanse, tone, moisturize, and provide sun protection.

But what about the facial muscles? We hardly pay any attention to these working muscles.

You see, in order to maintain a youthful looking face, you require a combination of healthy skin and toned facial muscles.

If one or the other is not in good shape, you might end up looking older or haggard.

Here’s where face exercises come in.

Take a look at these benefits and you’ll know why more women are doing facial exercises to stay beautiful.

Radiant Complexion
Your skin is revitalized. This is the first thing you would notice when you begin your face exercises. The blood circulation to the face improves during a facial exercise compared to when the facial muscles are at rest.

This promotes the transportation of oxygen and nutrients to the facial tissues and aids skin cell renewal. Face exercises also stimulate lymph drainage which helps facial tissue detox.

With facial exercises, your skin looks healthier with a radiant glow.

Tone And Lift Facial Muscles
The face and neck area has 57 muscles. Facial muscles are small compared to other muscles in the body. But you can still exercise the face muscles to get them back in shape.

Toned muscles are firm to the touch and give a up lifting appearance. Face muscles that have not been exercised enough tend to be flaccid and sags.

With facial exercise the muscles and skin lift, tone and tighten restoring the face. The sagging face syndrome and wrinkles becomes less apparent.

Lose Face Fat
Are you trying to get a “slimmer” face?

One misconception is that you have to lose overall body weight to lose face fat.

Not true. Especially for individuals who have a healthy body weight or are already slender.

There are some amongst us who workout, have a toned shapely body, but still have a chubby looking face.

It is possible to make a puffy round face look slimmer through face exercises and the proper nutritional plan.

This approach also works if you are trying to get rid of a double chin, chubby cheeks or jowls.

You would want to go for toning, strengthening and sculpting exercises that target your facial problem zones to attain a more desirable facial contour.

Thus, to have a beautiful face, you want to take good care of both your skin and the facial muscles.

If you want to improve how you look, you might want to start by doing some facial toning exercises.

In fact, I find that you get to look better and better if you do the right face exercises consistently.

Face exercises or cosmetic surgery?

Would you choose face exercises if it can help you get a ‘face-lift’ without pain?

I know, I can almost hear you say, “But doing face exercises is a pain”.

Isn’t that true. For some of us, any type of exercise is a chore … or torture.

But are there better options? How can you have a toned, younger looking face without having to go for cosmetic surgery or botox injections.

A surgical face-lift can create dramatic improvements in your appearance. On the other hand, face exercises  may take a longer time to show results. When doing face exercises, you first feel the difference(in your face muscles) before you can see the difference.

And when you continue to do the face workout regularly, other people will start to notice the difference in your facial appearance.

Here are a few reasons why you might want to choose face exercises over cosmetic surgery:

1. You want to look your best. But you are not keen about cosmetic surgery.

2. You do not want to spend a lot of money.

3. You have thought of cosmetic surgery and botox. However, to maintain the good looks, you might need additional procedures in the future. And this puts you off.

4. Face exercises give your skin a healthy radiant glow. A surgical face-lift doesn’t get you such result.

5. You prefer a holistic or alternative approach to beauty and fitness.

If this is the first time you hear about face exercises, why not give it a try and see if it works for you.

It could be a good thing to do before you take the extreme leap to undergo a cosmetic or surgical procedure.

For some people, doing face exercises is the way to go. It takes a little more effort and time. But the results might just be enough to make you realize, you don’t need a surgical face-lift after all.

Face exercises now or later?

Some people prefer the safe and painless way to looking younger, so they give face exercises a try.

We all want to stay younger, longer.

However, flabby muscles and wrinkles on our face make us look old.

Face lifts seems like a normal thing to do these days(or is it?). But if the thought of surgery makes you anxious, you might want to look for other alternatives.

Doing the right face exercises can help you tone and firm your face muscles and create a more attractive facial contour.

Many people start doing face exercises after they encountered the lose of muscle tone. This is when they begin to notice the onset of flabby cheeks, droopy eyelids, saggy skin, or other problem areas on the face.

But better yet, you can make use of face exercises as a preventative measure. If you start early, you have the added advantage of building strength and tone on healthy muscles and skin.

This will keep you looking youthful and vibrant now and slow down the signs of an aging face in later years.

How are wrinkles formed?

There are many causes of wrinkles. Right now, we are going to look at the specific relationship between muscle tone and wrinkles.

The skin lies on top of the face muscles. Think of your face muscle as a cushion for the skin to rest on. One end of the face muscle originates from the bone and the other end is weaved into other face muscles or attached to the facial skin.

When the face muscles lose their tone, they also lose the firmness. As the muscles weaken, it can no longer offer support. The overlying skin sags, and you see lines and wrinkles.

Doing exercises for the face can tone up the facial muscles, which helps to diminish facial lines, resulting in healthier, smoother looking skin.

With regular face exercises, you firm and strengthen the face muscles. This gives your face a up lift appearance and a more defined facial contour. At the same time, your skin tone improves making you look healthier and younger.

It is easy to learn face exercises when you have clear instructions or diagrams to follow. It can be fun to join a class and do the workout together with others. Watching face exercise videos is another easy way to get started.

Whichever option you choose, the important thing is to do the face exercises that get you the desired results.

Jack LaLanne is the “The Godfather Of Fitness”, and America’s well loved fitness and exercise expert since the 1950s.

In the era of black and white TV, he has “The Jack LaLanne Show”. It turned into the longest health and exercise TV show in history, lasting a total of 34 years(1951-1985).

There is a series of Jack LaLanne face exercises on Youtube. I have too many favorites(they are quite amusing with the quirky sound effects). Anyway, I picked these 2 videos for you. They explain the benefits of face exercises and a testimony by Jack himself.

Jack talks about face exercises and the face muscles using Henry Gray’s Anatomy Chart.

Jack replies to the question “Did you have  face lift?”

I think Jack LaLanne looks amazingly youthful at his age. This fitness pioneer breaks all the gender barriers. He is the first fitness expert to inspire women to lift weights during a time when women wear pretty frocks. This makes me wonder, is he the first male trainer that shows people how to do face exercises.

Drop me a line if you know the answer.

Looking Good

Some people believe in face exercises, and some think it’s silly and ineffective.

Which group do you belong to?

Do you say “Yay!” to face exercises?

Or do you shake your head and say “No way”.

I was intrigued by the controversial opinions about face exercise, so I went online to look for some clues.

The sense I got from it all is, there seems to be more kudos than critics on this issue. There are active discussions about face exercise on beauty and fitness boards, where people share facial workout tips and compare results.

Veterans of face exercise shared their personal success stories and encouraged the newcomers to test it out. Of course, there are also posts by people who have tried some form of facial workout, but failed to get the desired results and were disappointed.

Nonetheless, the general atmosphere is a supportive community of people who are passionate about face exercises, who enjoyed doing and talking about it.

It’s kind of hard to brush off the many positive experiences from regular people who tried face exercises and found that it works.

But despite the many “It-Works” testimonials, there are professionals in the medical and beauty industry who claim that face exercises do not work. This made face exercise enthusiasts questioned whether the claim was made based solely on knowledge and theories, rather than facts and findings.

So I guess one way to prove whether these statements against face exercises is true or not, is to test the exercises out yourself.

And before you start, why not look up personal testimonials and find out which type of face exercises people are already doing. Read about their experiences, and learn how they get optimal results with the exercises. This handy information will give you a good start and help you set realistic expectations of what face exercises can achieve.

Another misconception is that face exercises will give you wrinkles. Your facial skin may look crinkle while you are performing certain face exercises, but this doesn’t mean it will create wrinkles.

If you follow the correct instruction, a face exercise should not over stretch your face muscles nor the skin. However, if you have any skin problem(eg. sun-damaged or dry skin), it is advisable to seek the advice of your dermatologist prior to any face exercise.

The purpose of face exercises is to work specific muscles in the face and neck in order to tone and lift target areas as such the cheeks, chin, jaws, lips and brows. These exercises help you to regain muscle tone and reduce sagging facial skin.

I am happy for you if you have seen improvements to your facial appearance with face exercises. On the other hand, if you have tried but see little or no results, then perhaps you might want to consider a few things here.

• Are you doing the right face exercise for your needs?
• Are you doing the exercise correctly?
• Do you exercise as frequently as required?
  
• Some face exercise programs come with a special diet plan for optimal results. Are you following the meal planner?
• Did you give it reasonable time for results to show? It can take a few weeks to a couple of months before you see noticeable improvements.

I would leave it to you to decide whether face exercises really work or not. For those of you who had seen improvements to your facial contour and skin tone, I know you are now grinning from ear to ear.
