Below we list some of the most effective exercises to keep your face in shape and give your features the definition they need.
1. Warm up the muscles (Repeat 8-10 times)
As with any exercise, you need to warm up your facial muscles. Move the lower jaw forward and pull back. All actions should be performed slowly and gently.
2. Place the lower lip over the lower teeth (Repeat 5-7 times)
Open your mouth and place your lower lip on your lower teeth. Imagine if you had to hold water with your lower jaw. While performing this exercise make sure that the corners of the lips are completely relaxed.
3. Grab the nose (Repeat 5 times)
The throat connects with weak neck muscles. Therefore you need to strengthen them. Pull your tongue out as high as you can and try to catch the tip of your nose with it. Keep your lips relaxed.
4. Ideal oval face (Repeat 5 times)
If you want to give your face a more youthful look and lift your cheekbones up, do the action above: turn your head to the left and pull the lower jaw forward by tightening the neck muscles. You should feel the muscles on the left side of the neck pulling. Turn your head to the right and repeat the same movements.
5. "Giraffe" technique (Hold 5-8 seconds, repeat 5 times)
Imagine kissing a giraffe (or someone tall). Lift your face up and look at the ceiling. Bring forward the lower jaw and pursed lips as if you were going to kiss someone. Stay in this position for 5-8 seconds.
6. Apply pressure with fists (Repeat 5-7 times)
For this exercise you need to join two fists and place them under the chin. Move the lower jaw while applying pressure with both fists. The compressive force must be gradually increased. when you reach the maximum hold for 3 seconds.
7. Smile (Repeat 5-8 times)
Join the teeth with the mouth closed and try to widen the corners of the lips as much as possible. Push the tongue towards the palate gradually increasing the compressive force. If you feel a strong pressure on the chin muscles then you are doing it right.
8. Inflate the pages (Hold for 5 seconds)
Take a deep breath and fill the cheeks with air. Close your mouth and inflate your cheeks. Place the palms of your hands on the cheeks so that you can feel the pressure of the muscles. Hold for 3-5 seconds, exhale and relax. You can repeat it 5-6 times.
