Face Exercises – A Lower Face Lift Exercise Targeting Sagging Jowls
I have been looking at face exercises for the jowls. As usual, I need the face exercise to be effective, yet simple enough for anyone to do it at home.
But first, what are jowls?
Jowls form when the cheeks sag. Essentially, jowls are loose hanging skin and facial fat on either side of the face that descend down to or below the jawline.
As we age, the jowls become prominent and sag. This is a common feature of facial aging. Often, you would see people in their 50s with pronounced sagging jowls.
The lower face or lower cheek area is fuller. Jowls create an unflattering rectangle shape jaw line. The lower face can look ‘lumpy’ and soft.
Some people are bothered by the appearance of jowls. They can make one look older and fat in the face.
There are numerous face exercises that target sagging jowls.
Here is one effective lower face lift exercise that I like.
This face exercise work the following muscles:
Platysma
The platysma is a thin sheet of muscle positioned between the collar bone and the jaw, whose action is to depress the jaw.
Sternomastoid
Another name for sternomastoid is sternocleidomastoid.
This is one of two muscles located on the front of the neck which serve to turn the head from side to side.
Mentalis
The mentalis is a face muscle located at about the most pronounced part of the chin on each side of the face.
Masseter
The masseter is a face muscle located in the cheek area on each side of the face.
Lower Face Lift Exercise For Sagging Jowls
1. Sit up straight.
2. Push your jaw forward.
3. Hold for 10 seconds.
4. Draw your jaw inwards (back to its original position).
5. Do a set of 10.
Even though this is a very simple exercise, it is powerful because it works the chin, jaw and neck muscles at the same time. It sculpts and tones the jowls and chin and redefine a smooth jaw line.
Try this face exercise now to get rid of sagging jowls or a double chin.

Face Exercises – Do You Want A Natural And Painless Face Lift?
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.
