Facial Exercises Help to Reduce Eye Wrinkles
As we age, our skin starts to wrinkle and sag because of a loss of collagen and other external factors such as the sun, health issues, smoking and injuries. Since we can’t stop the inevitable, there are certain steps we can take to reduce the appearance of eye wrinkles and other facial sagging. One way is by doing facial exercises!
Facial exercises are a great way to tighten up your face, while saving time and money. Think of these exercises like weight lifting. Lifting weights help to tighten and tone your body. Apply this same reasoning to your face. If you are doing contractions and applied resistance to specific muscles in your face, your skin will in turn tighten, increase muscle size and provide a natural face lift. Facial exercises can reduce droop jowls and cheeks, tighten your whole face and help diminish the signs of eye wrinkles and puffy eyes.
There are two different types of exercises: isometric and resistance. In a nut shell, isometric exercises tone and firm face muscles. It can be uncommon to have dramatic results with this form of exercise. It is greatly dependant upon your age and if you have extensive muscle loss.
Resistance exercises, on the other hand, work to strengthen and build your muscles. This is the form that brings all the much needed oxygen and nutrients to your face to feed your staved skin cells. These exercises really fill out and lift up your face. In my opinion, resistance is more effective and much more time efficient.
This is one of my favorite facial exercises I do daily! It’s specializes on eliminating forehead wrinkles. First step is to lift your eyebrows up as far as you can. Then, put your fingers at the top of your forehead. Slide your fingers down toward your eyebrows in a smooth motion. Think of it as pushing your raised forehead back down.
When your fingers meet your eyebrows, lower your forehead into a frown and slide your fingers back up to your hairline. You are doing the exact opposite as the previous step. Now you are trying to push your forehead back up. When you have done this, you have completed 1 set. Make sure to do 10 sets each day!
Although we can’t completely stop the aging process (although we would all like to), we can now put up a good fight to help reduce signs of aging and wrinkles! Good luck ladies!
