As we age these are all things that we have to contend with. There are parts of us that sag and jiggle that never did before. Every time we look in the mirror there seems to be a new wrinkle that pops up UGH!
However, there are some “face” exercises that you can do that can help lift, firm and straighten out some of those sags, jiggles and wrinkles. We tend to do a lot of exercising for the rest of our body to keep it toned and healthy, so why not do the same when it comes to our face?
Many of us suffer from saggy jowls as we age and my, oh, my they do make you look much older than your years, but twice a day for five days with one exercise can make those jowls start to firm up. Sit up straight and hold your head back. Stick your chin out as far as you can and you’ll feel it start to tighten up. Stay like that for about ten seconds and then let your chin relax. Do this same rep ten times and in just a few days you’ll start to see some results. The best part is, you can do this face exercise anywhere and at any time.
Another idea is to open your mouth as wide as you can like when you yawn and then closing your mouth as slowly as possible without letting your teeth touch back together. You can do this ten times in a row and will see an improvement in your jowls.
Do you have one of those necks that jiggle? Yeah, a lot of people do, but there is hope in decreasing that jiggle using the same exact exercise as above that reduces your jowls. So, with that one exercise you have a win-win for both your jowls and your sagging neck. However, one way to prevent your neck from sagging to begin with is to treat your face the same way you do your neck.
Every morning and night when you wash and moisturize your face, do the same thing for your neck and chest. This will keep your neck and chest from growing older when your face continues to look younger. If you are using some type of skin toner on your face each day, just use a little more and make sure you cover your neck too.
To erases some of those fine lines on your face, try this one exercise daily. Smile without parting your lips and put your index fingers on the corners of your mouth. Push the corners of your mouth up and hold it that way for about twenty seconds. Do this ten times and you’ll begin to see some results in a few days.
Another great rule of thumb to help decrease the lines on your face are that when you apply your moisturizer always push the skin in an outward motion. Rub toward your hairline or down toward your chest to help “rub” the wrinkles out of your skin.
When you are looking for ways to get rid of sags, jiggles and wrinkles you might even try over-the-counter products to help in the process. If you do, look at the ingredients and make sure you are getting products that are all-natural and won’t do more harm to your skin than good.
