Every woman dreams of staying beautiful and young. And in pursuit of youth and attractiveness, women are ready to go for any costly, painful and sometimes terrible procedures. Despite the fact that the modern market is full of various face care products, many are even ready to lie under the surgeon’s knife, only to prolong their youth. Although one of the simplest and most effective ways to extend the beauty of your face is proper care, which includes several simple points that can be performed anytime, anywhere.
Features
Once the famous pianist Frederic Chopin said: "Youth without beauty is still attractive, beauty without youth is never." But how wrong he was, because in the present century any woman can remain young and beautiful if she so desires. Like the body, our face needs a constant tone. Gymnastics for the face is a set of exercises aimed at working out the muscles of the face and neck and eliminating skin imperfections. In other words, proper skin care helps prolong youthfulness.
But there are several reasons why the skin stops shining, and the face loses attractiveness.
There are several major factors in aging skin.
- Physiology and aging of the skin are natural processes in human life. Over time, the body slows down the process of collagen synthesis, which leads to the appearance of the first wrinkles.
- Active facial expressions - as you know, we owe the appearance of wrinkles to facial expressions. Due to frequent muscle contractions, small wrinkles appear on the face.
- Hormonal failure, sudden weight loss and stress - the result of negative emotions is the deterioration of the color and condition of the skin.
- Negative impact of the environment - this item also includes electromagnetic radiation.
- Ultraviolet exposure - active sunlight destroys DNA cells, which makes the skin dry and lose elasticity.
- Lack of vitamins - a large number of preservatives, flavor enhancers and various unnatural flavors negatively affect the condition of the skin.
- Use of unsuitable makeup products - improperly selected cream can make the skin drier or, conversely, more greasy.
- Illiterate make-up - excessive use of tonal products and powder.
- Diseases - malfunctions of internal organs are always reflected on the skin.
Before you begin comprehensive skin care, you need to decide what problems and imperfections you want to fight.
- Wrinkles and skin irregularities - the first wrinkles may appear on the face at an early age of the girl. And the main reason is the uneven work of the muscles.
- A dull complexion is an indicator that you are lacking in vitamins and minerals.
- Flabby and dry skin - study of the muscles of the face and active hydration during the procedures will quickly resolve all problems.
- The appearance of wrinkles and a change in the oval - possibly due to aging of adipose tissue. On the face, in addition to the skin and muscles, there is also adipose tissue. At a young age, it is evenly distributed over the face. But with age, the volume of adipose tissue in some areas decreases, while in others, on the contrary, increases. So, for example, due to muscle strain in the forehead, the amount of adipose tissue decreases, which causes wrinkles.
But for the most part, we owe our facial expressions to the appearance of wrinkles and wrinkles on the skin. When we are happy, annoyed, or sad, these emotions are displayed on our face. At the same time, different muscles of the face are tensed and relaxed, which has a different load on the connective tissues. From this, small wrinkles appear, which without proper care quickly become large and deep.
And in the area of the nose and chin, the fat volume increases, so the nasolabial folds appear and the so-called second chin grows.
- Capillaries fragile and close to the skin - with such a problem, it is necessary to work with the face very carefully. The gradual strengthening of muscle tissue will help restore the plasticity of blood vessels and capillaries. Thus, the complexion is evened out.
And if in the early stages of skin aging with the first facial wrinkles it is enough to use a nourishing cream, then over time it is necessary to resort to a comprehensive solution to problems. Moisturizing cosmetics that are applied to the skin give only a temporary effect. Undoubtedly, special creams allow you to activate cellular metabolism and accelerate collagen synthesis, help restore skin health and youth, but not for long.
And besides, the causes of wrinkles and sagging skin lie not in the absence of moisture, but much deeper. Of course, injections in the cosmetologist’s office will help to achieve the desired effect, but the cost of the procedures will be very high. And such a miracle cure will be necessary for your skin more than once. Therefore, proper skin care and muscle strengthening will help make the oval of the face more beautiful and smooth skin.

There are many methods to improve the condition of the skin.
We offer the best and easiest rejuvenation exercises. This yoga complex for the face is built on the construction of active grimaces, strengthening muscles, as well as stroking and moisturizing the skin. You can alternate exercises or use all in one program. The load and the number of repetitions can also be adjusted based on individual characteristics.
Let's analyze six simple exercises for facial gymnastics at home.
Face oval
This exercise will not only increase skin tone, but also help you relax. The whole point is to pronounce the vowels in a melody: a, y, o, i, and, uh, oh.At the same time, it is very important to open your mouth as wide as possible and strain the muscles of the face and neck. Each letter must be sung 5-10 times.
Eye area massage
Allows to give expressiveness to a look. Since age-related changes are primarily reflected in the eyes, therefore, this massage must be included in the daily complex for skin care.
To perform the massage, you will also need a cream for the area around the eyes or moisturizing serum. And it is important to remember that in this area the skin is thin and delicate, so before applying the cream, make sure that it can be applied to the area around the eyes. Start the massage with light patting movements with your fingertips, move in circular motions from the nose across the upper eyelid to the temples and back along the lower eyelid.
After that, press down the middle fingers on the temples and with a sliding movement reach the nose bridge along the lower eyelid - this exercise will help emphasize the natural boundaries of the cheekbones and eyes.
Then proceed to massage the upper still eyelid. Grab your eyebrows in such a way that your thumb is on a fixed eyelid and the index finger on your forehead. Lightly pressing movements go from the bridge of the nose to the temples. Repeat the movement 3-4 times. Work the same area with vibrating movements - move from the temples to the bridge of the nose along the eyebrow line in zigzags up and down. This will relax the muscles of the forehead and activates the outflow of lymph.
At the final stage of the massage, pay attention to the area around the eyes. Pads of index fingers walk in circular movements around the eyes from the temples to the bridge of the nose along the lower eyelid and back along the upper movable eyelid. After the fourth circle, change the trajectory and add vibrating movements, similar to the previous stage, but only on the upper eyelid. Such zigzag waves help get rid of swelling of the eyes.
If after the massage on the area around the eyes there is no cream left, then apply a little more cosmetic product to the skin and evenly distribute it with light patting movements.
Remove the second chin
This exercise is familiar to many from childhood and is perceived mainly as fun. The challenge is to reach out to the tip of the nose with your tongue. Regular repetition of this exercise will help tone the muscles of the face and neck, making the second chin tighten. You can adjust the number of repetitions yourself, but in one session you need to make at least 10 touches.
Forehead study
This exercise will allow you to fight with both small and noticeable wrinkles and irregularities on the forehead. Place your index fingers over the eyebrows and lightly push the movements of the pads to lift the skin up. And then stretch your skin towards your ears. The so-called “Surprise” exercise will help smooth out facial wrinkles in the form of vertical lines above the bridge of the nose. You can also make a frowning grimace - bring the eyebrows together, and with your fingertips try to pull the eyebrows apart. Repeat this procedure 3-6 times.
After that, to work out the central part of the forehead, on which large longitudinal folds are formed, sit near the table and put your elbows on the countertop. Keep your back straight so that blood flow is not obstructed. Press your fingers to your eyebrows and make different grimaces: surprise, anger, laughter. After that, press the fingertips to the hairline and pull the skin up, and pull the eyebrows down to smooth the skin on the forehead.
Bubble
A simple exercise - inflation of the cheeks will help to tighten the oval of the face, and smooth out the nasolabial wrinkles. Gather more air in your mouth and close your lips tightly, hold your breath or breathe through your nose. Hold the “bubble” in your mouth for 10 seconds. Repeat the procedure at least 10 times. For a change, you can also roll air from one cheek to another.
Kiss
This exercise will help increase blood flow to the lips and increase skin firmness.Pull your lips into the tube, and then smile broadly. This exercise must be repeated about 20 times. The whole charm of the exercise is that you can repeat it during the day, for example, standing in a traffic jam, or while working at the computer.
Another effective and simple exercise will increase muscle elasticity in the lower part of the face. Pull out your lips with a tube and in this position, swipe your lips in a circle clockwise and then counterclockwise. Start with 5-7 laps for each session, and then increase the number of repetitions.
For the first time, you may not be able to complete all the circles, but over time you will be given this task easier.
After gymnastics you can feel short tingling of the worked out zones. This means that you did everything right, and blood circulation increased in these areas. These exercises will allow you to actively work out all layers of the epidermis and affect all the muscles on the face. From this, the muscles of the face will strengthen, and skin elasticity will increase. But most importantly, face-fitness can not only reduce the signs of skin aging, but also fights the causes of their appearance.
How to spend?
Proper training will increase the effectiveness of gymnastics. To observe the effect, you can first take a picture of your face in full view and profile in a well-lit place. All exercises are best done in front of the mirror in order to control the correctness of the movements and their actions.
Before starting gymnastics at home, you need to wash off your makeup. Ideally, take a contrast shower. But if this is impossible, then it will be enough to wash and wash your hands thoroughly. Make a contrast compress - for this you need a small towel. Wet it first with hot water and apply a warm towel to your face, paying particular attention to the area around the eyes, cheekbones, and lower forehead. After that, dampen a towel with cold water. Repeat the contrast complex several more times. Then pat the skin with a dry cloth to remove moisture. And apply a moisturizer to your skin with a gentle massage for your face and neck.
Like any exercise, face fitness allows you to relax, improve your mood, meditate and get rid of stress. Tune in to spend a few minutes for the benefit of yourself and your beauty. You can also include relaxing or, conversely, invigorating music. Pay attention to each area of the face, even if you do not currently notice age-related changes.
The simplest, most pleasant and affordable procedure at home is self-massage. Thanks to him, you can relieve stress and relax. In addition, massage will help smooth out skin irregularities, get rid of small wrinkles and folds, tighten the face contour, improve the contour and give the skin a healthy and natural glow. Self-massage can be performed every night during the application of a night moisturizer. Light pats, stroking and massaging movements positively affect the condition of the skin.
After training, be sure to apply a moisturizing or nourishing cream to the face and décolleté.
Of course, facial gymnastics will not return youth to mature skin, but it will allow you to tighten the oval, tone the skin and restore a fresh shade.
Tips
You can begin to work out and strengthen the muscles of the face at any age. But early start and consistency give better results. Since it is better to use preventive methods than to solve already existing problems. Many girls in their reviews noted that facial gymnastics allowed to reduce the number of wrinkles and folds, helped to tighten the oval and give a healthy tone to the skin.
And you can increase the effectiveness of training yourself, for this you only need to follow simple rules.
- The best time to workout is morning. At this time, the facial muscles rested during sleep and are ready for exercise.
- The beginning of each day can be cryotherapy - this simple procedure consists in rubbing the face with an ice cube. Freeze clean water in the freezer in advance. Better to prepare a decoction of herbs - for example, chamomile flowers or calendula. And daily, before washing, wipe the face and neckline with ice.
- If in the morning there is no way to devote a few minutes to gymnastics, then choose a simple program that can be performed in traffic, during cooking, at lunchtime or in the cinema.
- Do not carry out any procedures in a bad mood. Try to leave all problems and negative thoughts aside before starting the session and tune in to meditation. Any external changes always begin from within.
- Ventilate the room before starting a workout - a breath of fresh air will help normalize oxygen breathing and accelerate skin renewal.
- Do not overload the face with a lot of exercises and repetition. Exercise in a rhythm that is comfortable for you.
- Include facial gymnastics in daily routines. And try not to be lazy and not to postpone your skin care the next day, otherwise you will have to wait for visible results for a very long time.
- Once a week, free skin from dead cells: use scrubs, cleansing gels and lotions.
But do not forget that it is necessary to solve the problem comprehensively.
Performing several exercises within a couple of minutes will not give the desired result. There are simple rules for skin care: wash your face with cool water, drink about 2 liters of clean drinking water daily, include more fresh fruits and vegetables in your food, refuse ready meals with flavorings, colorings and flavor enhancers. Improved metabolism will accelerate the renewal of epidermal and dermal cells. Try to stay more in the fresh air, get enough sleep, on hot days use creams with UV protection and do not forget to wear sunglasses. And to prolong the youth of the skin, try to frown less and smile more often.
