Face Exercises - Look Your Best Naturally
Face Exercises - Look Good And Feel Great
Have you heard of face exercises? In fact, facial
exercises have been around for decades. But its popularity grew only in
recent years. Nowadays, you find both men and women doing face
exercises. They are into fitness and beauty, and want to have a
youthful looking face, to go with an equally toned body.
Your
face forms the first impression others make of you. So, I guess that's
pretty important. And while we do not have to look perfect like a glam
fashion model, we do want to feel good about our looks.
Celebrities
and models are doing face exercises. And so are regular people. There
must be some good in this form of facial workout even though there are
individuals who disagree.
Well, read on if you think you have a "face problem", or you simply want to have a lean, attractive, youthful face.

Your Face Muscles Need Exercise Too
There are about 57 muscles in the face. And I'm sure you
realize that your face is the most expressive part of your body. The
face muscles have the ability to a wider range of movements than any
other muscle groups. Think of all the various expression you can
make(e.g. smile, frown, pout, wink), and you'll know what I mean.
Your
facial muscles liked to be exercised. Different face muscle groups
response to specific face exercises, somewhat like your body muscles
when you workout. In fact, all muscles in the body benefit from exercise.
When
you exercise regularly, the muscles have a tendency to increase in size
and firmness. For example, exercises based on the principle of
resistance training, like lifting a dumbbell, tone the muscles and
plump up the biceps.
Similarly, doing the proper face exercises can tone the face muscles, and give the face an uplift appearance.
Often, women practice face exercises because they want to get rid of wrinkles. Men, on the other hand, are motivated for different reasons. Men want a more defined jaw line and possibly the "chiseled" look. But, of course, both sexes agree on one point, the desire to look younger.
Are You Happy With Your Face?
Here are some common problems people have of their face. Give your vote. Which of these beauty issues is bothering you?
Face Exercises - Fitness And Beauty For Your Face
The good news is ...there is a solution to the problems. People who do face exercises regularly have
experienced improvements in their face contour and skin tone.
If
your goal is to get rid of your chubby cheeks or to lose the double
chin, then practicing facial exercises alone might not produce the best
results for you.
When trying to lose face fat, fitness experts
usually recommend a combination of diet plan and specialized face
exercises. Some even include aerobic exercise, especially for those
with weight problems.
A comprehensive program usually teach
you what foods to eat and how to do a series of specific face
exercises. This enables you to target different problem areas of the
cheek, chin and neck.

Face Exercise - Lose Your Chubby Cheeks
Try This Simple Face Exercise
Here is an example of a face exercise that help you lose face fat. The purpose of the exercise is to sculpt your chubby cheeks
and stretch your facial muscles and contour.
- Close your mouth.
- Blow
air under your top lip, puff it out (Your mouth remain closed. You are
NOT blowing out air. You inflate the part of your face between your
nostrils and top lip ... the moustache area)
- Hold for 10 seconds.
- Move the air to the left cheek.
- Hold for 10 seconds.
- Move the air to the right cheek.
- Hold for 10 seconds.
- Do a set of 10.
I
know you might need a little time to get used to the puffing action ...
especially the top lip part. But, it gets easier with practise.
Try
the face exercise, and see if this is something you would like to do
for beauty. Some people find that exercising(the body or the face) is
just not their cup of tea.
Face Exercises - The Bottom Line
I must admit, face exercises do not
produce instant results. You need to commit time and effort, even
though it might just take up minutes of your day. For me, when I'm
pressed for time, I'll do the exercises in the shower or while I'm
watching the telly.
If you do face exercises daily, you will
probably see noticeable results after a couple of months. It might take
a bit longer at the beginner, but overtime, the results can be very
encouraging. Your complexion will have a healthy glow, and you will
have a more defined face contour and a younger looking face.
