Exercises to tighten facial muscles

We often look with envy at the toned figures of athletes, young people working out in gyms - their stomachs don't hang down, and the muscles on their arms and legs are clearly visible. But this doesn't just happen to them, there is hard work behind it. The human face also consists of muscles, and in order for it to be beautiful and elastic, cosmetics and procedures alone are not enough, the muscles need to be trained. And for this, you need to know their anatomy and exercises for tightening the facial muscles.

Gymnastics for face lifting

The facial muscles have a significant impact on the relief of the skin. On one side, they are attached to the bone, and on the other - to nearby muscles or skin. Reacting to various emotions: joy, laughter, anger, irritation, as well as temperature irritants, smells, sounds, they contract, setting the skin of the face in motion. This leads to the formation of wrinkles, its excessive stretching. Daily gymnastics for a face lift for 5-10 minutes will not give an immediate effect, but will increase muscle tone, strengthen them, increase skin tension, give clarity to the oval line of the face, contribute to the accumulation of collagen and protein, responsible for the elasticity of the skin.

It is advisable to start the gymnastics with warming up the muscles, for this you need to pronounce the vowels "a", "e", "o", "i" until a wave of heat goes across the face. And the exercises themselves:

• sit on a chair, tilt your head back as much as possible, stick out your lip and stretch it upwards for 5-10 seconds, relax. Repeat 3 times;
• wrap your arms around yourself, pull your head up as far as possible, take a deep breath, hold it for 10-15 seconds, exhale and return to the starting position;
• straining, lower the corners of your lips until you feel tired;
• squeeze the pencil with your lips and write numbers and letters in the air, do this for 3 minutes, and then repeat after a rest;
• stretch your temple toward your shoulder and at the same time resist the movement with your palm. Hold your head on each side for 10 seconds;
• Place your palms on your cheeks so that your ears are between your thumb and index finger, puff out your cheeks while resisting with your palm. Repeat the exercise 6 times;
• open your mouth, pull your lips inward, push your chin forward and tense the muscles, resist with your index finger, then relax, and do this 10 times;
• To strengthen the hyoid and jaw muscles, press your fists under the resisting chin. At this time, the mouth is open, the tongue presses under the lower row of teeth and tenses. The duration of the exercise is 10 seconds, repeat up to 10 times.

The most important thing is that exercises for a facelift are carried out regularly, then, in combination with proper care for it with the help of cosmetics, diligence will be rewarded, and signs of aging will be postponed to a later date.

Yoga for Facelift

The concept of "yoga" includes not only physical exercises, but also the ability to immerse yourself in a special state of mind that brings harmony to the human soul. Yoga for a facelift is not equivalent to gymnastics, it involves relaxation, calming down, relaxation, and mental balance. A yoga session includes meditation, massage, awareness of your own "I", relaxation. Classes stimulate collagen production, strengthen facial muscles, teach you to control your emotions, which allows you to reduce expression wrinkles and relieve muscle tension. A quarter of an hour every day will give a noticeable result in 2-3 weeks. To improve the oval line of the face, there are such exercises:

• fold your lips as if for a kiss, stretch them forward and hold this position for a few seconds;
• take a deep breath and roll it around in your mouth.

Facial muscles will be strengthened by:

• the thumb rests on the brow ridge, the index finger above the eyebrow. Press them and try to open the eyes wider;
• support your chin with your hands, press down, and at the same time try to turn your head to the sides and forward;
• pat your cheeks and chin with your palms until they turn red.

The best way to get started with yoga for face lifting is by joining a guru-led group or watching online video tutorials.
