Facial exercises are an important part of your anti-aging program.   You work out to tone your body, why not do exercises to tone your face as well?

Exercise One-Cheek Area

 
1.  Tilt  your head back slightly, and let your mouth fall open.  Allow your jaw to drop as far as it will go. 

 
2.  Move your lower jaw forwards and upwards.   Your lower teeth and lip should cover your upper teeth and lip.  I know, it looks strange but you should be feeling your facial muscles working.  The front of your neck and under your chin should feel taut.

 
3.  While holding this position, smile slowly.  Hold your smile for a count of five.  You will probably feel a pulling sensation on the insides of your cheeks and across your cheek bones.

 
4.  Very slowly release your smile while bringing your jaw down to its normal position.  Do not let your face snap back quickly.  

For maximum effectiveness, perform this exercise slowly and repeat 3 times per day.

Exercise Two-Mid Face & Cheek Area        

1.  Sit facing forward, chin up, shoulders squared.

 
2.  Place index finger gently on chin creating some resistance.

 
3.  Open your mouth slowly and tighten your lips so they roll in over your teeth.   Start to tighten your entire mid face by  lowering your jaw and tightening as you open slowly.

Repeat 3 times per day.

Be sure to keep your neck toned with exercises as well!
