Exercising the skin of your face may help you look younger, alleviate those pesky wrinkles and tone and tighten your facial muscles. Facial exercises can also increase the circulation of blood in your face, bringing more nutrients to your skin, according to the beauty tips page at AyurvedicCure.com. Certain facial exercises help target specific areas of your face, but you should always consult with your doctor before getting started on any exercise program.
Puffing Cheeks
This exercise can be practiced during your morning routine, according to writers at AyurvedicCure.com. It is performed by filling your mouth with air and puffing out your cheeks as far as possible. Hold the air in your cheeks for a few seconds and then slowly exhale and let your face return to its normal shape. Perform four or five repetitions of this exercise daily.
Neck Firming Exercise
As you age, the skin of your neck tends to loosen and make you look older than you really are. This exercise helps tighten the skin on the front of your neck. It is performed by sitting or standing and tilting your head back to look up at the ceiling. While you are in this position you should push your tongue into the top of your mouth to help contract all the muscles on the front of your neck. Hold this position and then tilt your head forward while continuing to press your tongue into the roof of your mouth. You should perform this exercise for the number of repetitions prescribed by your doctor.
Kiss the Sky
This exercise is also designed to help tighten the sagging skin around your jowls and neck, according to the facial exercise page at Dermaxine.com. It is performed by sitting upright in a chair and tilting your head back to look at the ceiling. Hold this position and purse your lips as if you were trying to kiss the ceiling from the seated position. Writers at Dermaxine.com recommend that you hold this position for about five seconds and then return to the starting position with your lips relaxed and your head looking forward. Repeat this exercise five times, or as directed by your doctor.
