Free Face Exercises
Youth is evasive. Before you know it, you no longer look as young as you used to. This can be annoying because if there is one thing that many people aim for, it is to look as youthful as possible for as long as possible. Getting rid of wrinkles and fine lines can take a lot of effort. There are quite a number of creams and treatments are available on the market, but you don’t always have to make use of these. A great way that you can get your face to look youthful again is by using these free face exercises.
Eyes:
Place your middle finger above your inner eyebrows. Making use of the pads on your fingers, gently massage in circular motions. Go from the inside of your eyebrows to the outside. When you reach the tip of your eyebrows, stop massaging and gently slide your fingers around your eyes bringing your hands back to the original position. Repeat this about five times.
Position your middle and ring fingers at both corners of your eyes. Gently pull your fingers back towards your hairline. As you do this, you will feel the skin stretching. Once you have pulled the skin back close your eyes and hold it in that position for about five counts then release and repeat four more times.
Chin:
Before going to sleep, lie on your bed with your back flat but in a relaxed position; put a pillow underneath your neck and pull your head back as far as you can. Do this every night for as long as you can. If it is possible for you to sleep in this position then do so.
Place your ring, index and middle fingers underneath your chin. Gently pull your chin down. While doing this, place your lower lip over your teeth so that it curls over your teeth. You will feel the muscle pulling in opposite directions as you do this. An important thing to remember is never to pull too hard on your chin to avoid sagging.
Lips:
Using your middle fingers (placed at either end of your mouth), pull down the sides of your mouth. Doing this should expose your teeth. With the sides of your lower lip pulled down and your teeth showing, try to pout. This should stretch the muscles around your mouth.
Relax your face and firmly press your lips together. Suck air into your mouth. Move the air inside your mouth around gently; first on top of your lips, underneath, to the left and then to the right. Slowly exhale and let the air out. Repeat this procedure four more times. Feel free to rest in between repetitions.
These are only some free facial exercises that are easy to do and learn. There are many other facial exercises you can do to help you look younger, and you can read more about them in facial exercise books.
