Gymnastics for the face from wrinkles

You can take care of your face every day, use expensive cosmetics, go for procedures, but the years will still take their toll. At the age of 40-50, the face fades, deep wrinkles appear, the oval of the face deteriorates, the skin loses its tone. To keep youth as long as possible, cosmetologists recommend resorting to facial gymnastics. The exercises are safe for beginners, and the first results can be seen in a few days.

The benefits of gymnastics for the face

To keep the body fit, it must be constantly trained. The rule also applies to individuals. In the absence of proper training, facial muscles weaken over time, lose their elasticity and, therefore, begin to sag, and the face becomes unattractive. But daily gymnastics will help to cope with the listed problems.

The benefits of gymnastics for the face:

• Increased blood circulation in the tissues of the face;
• Return of color, tone and healthy radiance of the skin;
• Tight and neat face. The contour is improved by toning the muscles;
• The rate of appearance of wrinkles decreases due to increased influx of nutrients;
• Hydro exchange improves and toxins are released;
• Eliminates the second chin, which is the result of sagging muscles.

By doing facial exercises before bed, you can relax tense muscles and eliminate the appearance of morning swelling.

Basic rules for execution

Any remedy has contraindications. Gymnastics for the face is no exception. If a person has a pathology of the facial nerve or has undergone Botox injections, it is contraindicated to engage in this type of load. Temporary or permanent contraindications are approved for individuals who have recently undergone facial plastic surgery. Before engaging in such gymnastics, first consult with a qualified specialist.

The following rules will help to increase the efficiency of the exercise:

• Facial skin and muscles are amenable to gradual exposure. You need to start small. In the first classes, do a small number of repetitions. This will already be a good start in the recovery course;
• Practice in front of a mirror. This way you have full control over the process. Sit on a chair and straighten your back. If there is outerwear around the neck, remove it;
• Before starting the exercise, cleanse and moisturize the skin with a cream. Such preparation will prevent microtrauma during the exercise;
• Concentrate on relaxing and tensing your facial muscles. So you can achieve more effective results;
• When performing exercises, the muscles need to be strained as much as possible. The optimal time for tension is 10 seconds. The number of repetitions depends on the type of exercise. Initially, 5-7 repetitions will be enough. This figure must be increased daily by one repetition;
• Breathe properly. The muscles should tense on the inhale and relax on the exhale.

Facial exercises should be done twice a day. The duration of one procedure is about 15 minutes. Only with regular repetition, you can achieve the desired results (tighten facial muscles, smooth wrinkles, remove swelling under the eyes).

Facial exercises

As mentioned above, before starting the exercise, the skin of the face must be cleaned and moisturized with a special cream. However, it should be noted that facial gymnastics can be combined with the application of nourishing masks, oils, tonics, creams or anti-aging cosmetics.
