One Facial Exercise Can Really Help Your Face Muscles

January 28th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

People are wondering if facial exercises really work. There are many different opinions on this matter. You may hear people say they work, and people who say the facial exercises will even make your face worse. If it is by chance or not, we don’t know, but usually people that say that are the same who haven’t tried them. In reality the two main factors that affect the skin are the gravity and the natural loss of elasticity.

If you work on your facial muscles to keep them in shape, your skin will look much better. Why? Because facial muscles react to the exercises like any other muscle in the body. In other words, the facial muscles aren’t any different from the other muscles – with the only exception that we usually don’t focus on them when we go the gym.

There are several maneuvers for the face and neck muscles. Doing them regularly, every day, your face muscles will be positively affected. Probably you have heard such statements “do them a couple of minutes each day and you see the miraculous changes in your countenance in just a few weeks”. You may be disappointed if you believe them because the fact is that facial muscles do not react so quickly.

The facial muscles have a characteristic that differentiate them from the skeletal muscles of the body. That characteristic is that they are directly attached to the skin that covers them. (They are also attached to other facial muscles and to bone.) That is why when these facial muscles start to lose their tone and elasticity, due to age and gravity, the skin that is attached to them starts to sag. This in turn makes you look like you do after a number of years.

One mention. These exercises are not for people who are looking for a multivitamin pill or who want to inject Botox into the muscles and have a miracle recovery. Facial exercises require dedication, persistence and work. But you’ll get results from them. You’ll like what you see in the mirror after even several months.

An important exercise is the one for the eye muscles. This exercise may look easy to do. In fact it means to partially wink one eye at a time, and holding it for a moment, repeating then the movement. 50 are the repetitions to be made. You don’t have to scrunch up the skin inside the crow’s feet part while doing this exercise, but you have to contract firmly both the orbicularis oculi muscles around each eye and the nasalis muscles that are on each side of the nasal bone.

Why this exercise is so important is because the skin around the eye is the first indication of getting old, with the wrinkles around the eyes. Around the eyes there is the thinnest and most delicate skin. By doing this exercise you shouldn’t expect to remove the fine lines, but you can achieve a reduction. Another point to mention is that before doing any facial exercise you should put some vegetal oil or other lubricant on the area to be exercised. You may splash some water at least. Don’t do the exercise on a dry countenance.

One more method to deal with this problem would be using strips together with some gel. One good example is the double chin problem, for which you can use a chin strip.
