The neck and throat often are the first places that show signs of aging with sagging, thin, crêpe-like skin hanging down. Additionally, weak jowl and neck muscles add to an aging appearance. Makers of Dermaxine recommend daily jowls and neck exercises be performed in addition to a regular cleansing and moisturizing regimen.
Chewing
Chewing is a good exercise that works the throat and jowls. Stand or sit with your back and head straight facing forward. Let your lips rest softly closed. With lips remained closed, chew as if you had food in your mouth. Move your teeth up and down and in a circular motion, without grinding them. Chew for about 10 seconds and rest for a couple seconds. Repeat 20 times every day until you feel your muscles strengthen noticeably. Continue with the exercise three times a week.
Heads Up
Bend your head so that you're looking at the ceiling. You can do this while standing or sitting. Purse your lips in a big kiss and hold the position for about five seconds. Relax your lips and lower your head. Lift your head again and repeat the exercise five times. Lift your head to look at the ceiling again, only this time stick your tongue out as if you are trying to reach your chin. Hold it for five seconds and repeat five times. Once again lift your head to the ceiling and close your mouth. Push your lower lip up over your upper lip as far as you can and hold it for a count of five. Repeat this move five times as well.
Turns
Use your head as a weight to strengthen the jowls and neck muscles. Lie on the edge of your bed on your back with your head hanging over the edge. Slowly raise your head and try to touch the top of your breastbone. Hold for a count of five and slowly lower your head. Repeat 10 times. While sitting or standing, hold your shoulders still and turn your head to the left. Hold the pose and return looking forward. Repeat the move on the right side. Turn your head three times in each direction.
Tongue Press
While many jowl and neck exercises require moving your head, you can do the tongue press anywhere and no one will notice. With your mouth closed, press your tongue to the roof of your mouth as firmly as you can. Continue breathing through your nose as you hold the position for five or ten seconds. Release and repeat 10 times.
