Gymnastics for the face

Systematic exercises for the face will help rejuvenate the skin and get rid of the second chin

Whatever you say, as we age, whether we like it or not, our skin becomes smaller

elastic, the contour of the face changes. Moreover, there are about 70 muscles on the face, which, like any muscles of the body, must work, because without it they weaken. That is why it is necessary to train them every day.

Exercises to strengthen facial muscles activate blood circulation in tissues, improve metabolism, increase skin elasticity, and even normalize the activity of sebaceous and sweat glands, – says Zhanna Prykhodko, doctor-cosmetologist-dermatologist of the highest category.

A working muscle requires three times more nutrients and seven times more oxygen. Therefore, gymnastics for the face is useful for

women of any age. After all, it is women who pay attention to the condition of the skin, notice the slightest signs of aging, try to keep the face “in shape” and prevent the appearance of a second chin.

There are many types of gymnastics for the face, but all of them are based on basic exercises that keep the muscles of the cheeks, neck, facial muscles, etc. in tone.

• Tighten the neck muscles for a few seconds, then relax. Repeat this several times. Imagine that a small weight is attached to your chin and you have to lift it. When lifting the chin, strongly strain the neck muscles.
• Fill the mouth with air, giving the cheeks the appearance of a ball, and move this air “ball” several times, massaging the cheeks and the middle of the lips. As you learn how to regulate the movement of air, do the following movements – push the air out of the cheek, then to the left, under the upper lip, then under the lower.
• Move the lower jaw from side to side, stopping at the extreme points for a few seconds. After that, “push” the chin forward, and then push it back. Do these exercises slowly so as not to dislocate the jaw.

Pull out your lips – as if sending an air kiss. Do this exercise energetically enough.

And now, on the contrary, press your lips inward, keeping them in this position for a few seconds.

“To achieve significant results, you need to do such gymnastics every day for two months.”

After that, open your mouth and alternately pronounce all the vowel sounds – in any sequence. Next, alternately lower and raise the corners of the mouth, holding them in different positions for a few seconds.

Only with systematic execution. Working muscles burn fat, reduce swelling, and tone the skin. However, to achieve significant results, you need to do such gymnastics every day for two months.
