The prospect of sagging skin on the face is a real downer for many people. It means that you are getting older and that you might lose some of your youthful beauty. This is enough to send some people to the plastic surgeon's office. However, you don't have to spend thousands of dollars on surgery to get a younger appearance. There are exercises that you can do to tone sagging facial muscles and get back some of that youthful vigor.
Cheek and Chin Tone Up
You can tighten up your facial and neck skin by performing a smiling exercise in front of the mirror. Place your bottom lip firmly over your top lip and try to smile as big as you can. Then, lift your head up so your chin is pointed upward and hold. After staying in this position for about ten seconds, relax your face. Repeat five times. You can do this exercise in the morning and at night for a toned neck and cheek muscles.
Eyelid Lift
One of the first areas on the face that shows age are the eyelids. However, you can keep them from sagging by simply using your index finger to press on the skin just below your eyebrow. While holding this skin, push upward and close your eye to stretch the eyelid. By doing this several times each day, you firm up the skin of the eyelid, and reduce the instances of sagging.
Face Stretch-Out
A full face stretch keeps the skin taut and firm. Open your mouth and stretch out your tongue. Really stretch by opening your eyes wide, too. Hold this silly face for a few seconds before relaxing. Repeat five times, morning and night.
Crow's Feet Lift
You can avoid crow's feet by toning up the skin around the eyes. To do this, close your eyes and use your thumbs to move along the skin from the corner of the eye to the temple. Repeat several times. This will firm up the skin over time and prevent that familiar nest of wrinkles that sprout out from the eyes as you get older.
Double Chin Lift
A double chin is one of the biggest signs of aging. You can reduce the look of one or make it disappear altogether, however, by performing a simple exercise. Lie on your back then lift your head off the floor so that your chin rests on your chest. Then, bring your head back to the floor. Repeat this several times, though don't overdo it. If you feel pain or too much tension in your neck, stop.
