Face fitness - what is it, a complex for beginners, the best exercises

Age-related changes

Our face is constantly changing. At first, we have cute, plump cheeks, which disappear during adolescence and the cheekbones and chin come to the surface. By the age of 20-25, we acquire smooth and expressive features. But already at about 30 years old, the first noticeable and sad changes occur: nasolabial folds appear, the first wrinkles appear, the skin seems to “sink” down.

For some, the process begins earlier, for others later. With these problems also comes a double chin and dull skin. Sound familiar? To be honest, I already know some of this list.

Well, after 50, changes occur almost every year.

There is a very good checklist for age-related changes. Let's go over it and understand what we can expect and how to deal with it.

So, five problems that come closer to 30 years old

1. Puffiness of the face and circles under the eyes. Yes, we get tired, don’t get enough sleep and are constantly stressed, which, of course, affects our appearance. Add to this unhealthy diet, indulgence in salty and fatty foods, incorrectly selected cosmetics and health problems. The result is a very tired reflection in the mirror. Our appearance shows age, and sometimes even throws a few years on top. But besides everything else, even if we led an extremely healthy lifestyle, which included healthy sleep, healthy fresh food, clean products and no stress, it would still be difficult for us to avoid unpleasant changes. Over the years, muscle elasticity weakens. Hormones that maintain skin elasticity are secreted less, and metabolism worsens. As a result, we have what we have – dissatisfaction with ourselves and a tired, “extinguished” appearance.
2. Nasolabial folds. At the first stage of their appearance, starting from the age of 25, they give us maturity, facial acuity and expressiveness. They help others understand that in front of them is no longer a girl, but an adult woman. True, this effect lasts for several years. Then the game against us begins. The folds fall lower, changing the circumference of the face, giving a tired expression.
3. Color of the skin. Without proper care and nutrition, skin tone deteriorates over the years. She is no longer so “fresh”, rosy and breathing with youth. Year by year it fades. The solution, of course, is, first of all, in correctly selected skincare cosmetics.
4. Double chin. Even if you are a slender girl, after 25-30 years an unpleasant and noticeable crease suddenly appears on the bottom. This is all due to the drooping oval of the face and incorrect posture. Here, first of all, face building is needed. Below, I will talk about popular and useful exercises.
5. Small wrinkles. They can reach up to 25 years of age. Especially if basic care and cosmetics are chosen incorrectly. Dry skin ages much earlier. Plus, with age, collagen production decreases (I wrote about it in one of the previous posts), and facial activity is increasingly “imprinted” in the form of “crow’s feet” under the eyes. Gymnastics and cosmetics will help solve this problem. You don't have to get Botox to look youthful again.

Contraindications

The initial impact of face-building is on the skin, so it is recommended to check it for the presence of diseases. Inflammatory processes may be the main cause of poor condition of the epidermis.

Facebook building has the following contraindications:

• damage, cracks and redness on the skin of the face and neck;
• muscle pain that makes strength training difficult;
• oncological processes in the skin and adjacent tissues.

Facebuilding is an effective set of exercises. If you adhere to the basic rules and recommendations, then every woman can easily change her appearance for the better, regardless of age. Experts recommend undergoing a preliminary examination of your skin condition by a cosmetologist, which will allow you to create an individual set of exercises. As a result, the impact will be made on exactly that area of ​​the face and muscle group that are subject to correction.

✔ Dubinina’s gymnastics

To choose the right exercises for your face type requires a lot of time and effort, which may not always be of high quality and directed in the right direction. Dubinina was seriously involved in rejuvenation, tightening and toning the face.

This woman worked as a fitness trainer in the past, and since 2004 she began to develop her own technique, which includes gymnastics of the facial skin. The basics of facelift were taken from the American doctor Carol Margio. However, Dubinina managed to improve them through lengthy experiments and changes in training programs. At the moment, there are a huge number of reviews that clearly demonstrate the results “before” and “after”.

Face building for women over 55 years of age primarily provides an opportunity to slow down the aging process of the skin and significantly improve the shape of the face. An important advantage of Dubinina’s lessons is the absence of a language barrier between the trainer and the direct participants of this program. Any exercise can be viewed in detail using a video, or you can complete it by reading the instructions in your native language.

In Facebook building, it is very important to choose your own technique, which is most suitable physiologically. If you choose the wrong gymnastics or do not perform it properly, you may not achieve any effect at all. Many women begin to leave negative reviews after the program, only because they were unable to see quick positive changes.

Facebook building: all the pros and cons (benefits, harms of gymnastics)

Sculptural gymnastics for the face by Carol Maggio

Facelift of Saint Maria Runge

Facial gymnastics by Camilla Wohler

Yoga for the face Annlise Hagen

First, let’s define what Facebook building is. Facebuilding is a practice aimed at training the muscles of the face, neck and décolleté, combined with their massage. The concept is similar in meaning and functionality to bodybuilding (body building). Facebuilding combines facial exercises of varying levels of complexity, performed at home.

Let's figure out whether face-building helps to effectively correct age-related defects and preserve youth for many years.

Correction of facial contour using natural methods;

This gymnastics restores the necessary tone to the muscles of the face and neck. At the same time, it is completely painless due to muscle efforts, without resorting to anesthesia, surgical interventions and other unpleasant moments.

Prevention and reduction of existing wrinkles;

During exercises in combination with massage, there is intensive blood supply and skin nutrition. The facial cells of the upper layer of skin are regenerated, which visually transforms the appearance, filling it with energy.

Restoring freshness and healthy complexion;

Effective exercise during training increases the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood through the capillaries. This allows you to get rid of bags and dark circles under the eyes in a short period of time. Additionally, this is an excellent prevention of skin sagging.

• Obtaining a quick visible result, which is noticeable after seven days of regular exercise;
• Saving;

Unlike expensive cosmetic procedures, gymnastics can be done at home, standing in front of a mirror, or in any convenient place for free. No machines or additional equipment are required to perform these exercises - this is another significant argument.

• Relaxing areas of high muscle tension such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the eyes, mouth, cheekbones;
• Rapid rehabilitation for facial neuromuscular palsy.

From another point of view, there is a negative side to any theory or practice. This technique has skeptics and opponents who insist on the negative effect of gymnastics.

Intensive exercise can pump up muscles that are already in hypertonicity due to emotional psychological reactions, thereby aggravating problems in appearance.

In addition, like any practice, face building has contraindications for practice in certain cases.

Contraindications

• If there are bacterial or fungal infections of the face and neck;
• If the function of the immune system is reduced;
• When there are open wounds on the skin;
• After recent surgical procedures to tighten the skin, as well as after laser skin resurfacing;
• For various dermatological diseases of the face;
• In the presence of severe rashes, acne (gymnastics can aggravate the situation);

In other cases, it is allowed to practice using this method. Facebuilding does not involve any complex manipulations, so it can be done even during pregnancy.

Face fitness is contraindicated for diseases:

• hypertension grades II and III;
• brain disorders, trauma;
• skin diseases and inflammatory processes (acne, rashes, boils);
• damage to the facial nerves;
• jaw joints;
• oncology;
• thyroid gland;
• failure of the lymphatic system;
• runny nose, sinusitis, sinusitis;
• heat;
• general malaise;

Facial gymnastics is contraindicated in the following cases:

• rehabilitation postoperative period;
• cosmetic procedures;
• presence of facial implants;
• skin damage (scars, wounds);

If after exercise you feel discomfort and pain, it follows that contraindications were not taken into account or the exercises were not performed in accordance with the instructions.

Features of Facebook building

Before we begin performing anti-aging procedures, let’s look at what Facebook building is. This is a set of classes aimed at strengthening and training the facial muscles. Sometimes it is called face fitness.

Based on the feedback from those who already practice this rejuvenation technique, we can talk about the results. Facebuilding has a visible effect on the skin of the face:

• correction and contour formation without the intervention of plastic surgery;
• preventing the formation of wrinkles and reducing existing ones;
• restoration of a healthy complexion;
• relaxation of areas of high muscle tension: forehead, mouth, cheekbones, around the eyes.

It is important to highlight the positive aspects of using anti-aging gymnastics for the face:

• absolute safety for health;
• quick and noticeable results after just a couple of weeks of regular use;
• saving.

You should be very careful when performing exercises. Remember not to overdo it. Otherwise, you will pump up your muscles, which will only worsen the situation with your appearance.

There are a number of conditions and diseases for which face-building is prohibited.

Gymnastics for facial beauty: daily workouts are the key to youth

There is no need to wait for the first signs of skin aging to appear; it is much better to prevent their occurrence. Start training at the age of 30–35 and stay youthful for many years.

Gymnastics for the facial muscles is an opportunity to rejuvenate the appearance, tighten the oval of the face, make it more sculpted and clear. Together with other methods of influencing the skin - using suitable creams, masks, facial scrubs, good sleep and proper nutrition - a course of training will help you daily enjoy your own reflection in the mirror, which will shine with beauty and youth.

A couple of months of training will give noticeable results:

• the dermis will gain elasticity and firmness;
• complexion will be restored and evened out due to increased lymph flow and improved blood circulation;
• it will tighten and take on the beautiful contours of the oval face;
• the double chin will begin to disappear;
• small wrinkles around the eyes will be smoothed out;
• bags and swelling under the eyes will disappear;
• eye tension and fatigue will go away;
• pronounced nasolabial folds will disappear.

Gymnastics for the Face – Harm or Benefit?

In this article we will talk about gymnastics for the face (face fitness, face building). But not about any specific technique, but about my attitude towards facial gymnastics in general.

You probably noticed that the opinions of experts are divided. Some experts believe that facial gymnastics is a very effective means of prolonging youth, while others, on the contrary, believe that facial gymnastics is a useless and even harmful activity.

I studied this issue, tried it, and am ready to share my experience, impressions and my opinion about facial gymnastics.

Watch the video on YouTube:

Gymnastics for the face - a product in the beauty industry market

Many women have high hopes for facial gymnastics, because they believe that it is free, which means there is no catch.

When we buy cosmetics or some services in a salon, we understand perfectly well that they are making money from us, and since they are making money from us, since it is beneficial for someone, then they can sell us both high-quality and effective cosmetics, both good services and low-quality ones cosmetics, useless, unnecessary services.

But here, it seems like you don’t need to buy anything, you just need to not be lazy and work on your own. But it is not so.

Gymnastics for the face is the same product on the beauty industry market as cosmetics and salon services, but in this case you are not buying a specific product or service, but a technique. Like some kind of diet.

And now a lot of books are being published by different authors, with various gymnastics - face building, face forming, face fitness, facial aerobics and so on.

And they make good money from this too!

Even if you didn’t buy gymnastics, but downloaded the book for free on the Internet or borrowed it from friends, these books are still sold and sold in fairly large editions, which means in this case we can also find both useful, sensible information and illiterate and stupid information. Because they just want to make money from us. Since it’s popular now, it’s trending and everyone is interested in it.

What are facial gymnastics made of?

When I started studying the topic of facial exercises, I expected to see some detailed information like fitness, which would first talk about the structure of muscles, then about the cause of facial deformation.

Then some recommendations for self-diagnosis, how to determine what problems there are, which muscles are hypertonic, which muscles are hypotonic, and then some recommendations for specific exercises.

And I must say that over time I found such information that actually talked about the causes of various facial deformities and how to conduct self-diagnosis. This is not a specific book or a specific website on the Internet. I collected this information like a puzzle - piece by piece.

These were either fitness exercises that were aimed at relaxing the neck muscles, relaxing the trapezius muscles, or they were kneading techniques, that is, massage techniques to knead those facial muscles that are in hypertonicity.

That is, in essence, I was faced with a substitution of concepts when, when talking about gymnastics for the face, they offer partly exercises for the neck muscles and partly kneading techniques, that is, self-massage techniques.

2 weeks of facial gymnastics – my personal experience

As a result, I decided to try those exercises that seemed physiological to me, which did not raise any doubts in my mind that they could somehow cause harm.

Usually, beginners are advised to take 5 simple exercises and perform them at least 5 times a week. Results are promised in different ways, some promise in 2-3 weeks, others promise in 2-3 months of regular exercise.

If I had a forced break from sports, then after 2 weeks of regular training I feel in excellent physical shape. And here, 2 weeks of regular classes and absolutely no results.

Execution Rules

Before you start performing anti-aging aerobics for the face, it is important to familiarize yourself with the rules and recommendations:

1. It is advisable to start Facebook building at the end of the day. In the evening, there is no need to rush anywhere; you can turn on relaxing music and start the procedure.
2. Remember that you should not perform a set of exercises “dry”. Don’t be too lazy to go to a cosmetic store and buy some moisturizer: gel or face cream, oil.
   

   But remember that the product must be suitable for your skin type.

3. Before aerobics, you should wash your face thoroughly. It would even be preferable to do this after taking a shower. Apply moisturizer to your skin. Don't forget to wash your hands!
4. The first movements should be slow and careful. The facial muscles are thus prepared for the main activities. Then the load gradually increases.
5. At the end of the procedures, it is useful to apply a mask suitable for your skin type to your face. It can be soothing, rejuvenating, moisturizing. After performing these steps, all the nutrients contained in the mask are better absorbed by the cells.
6. If possible, do gymnastics in the fresh air. You can go out onto the balcony.
7. To achieve the effect, you must perform the exercises at least 2 times a week. The ideal option would be to do this every other day.

If you follow the recommendations described above, you can quickly return the skin to its former elasticity and significantly reduce existing wrinkles.

Face building for different areas of the face at home

Face building exercises for the face include several stages:

• Warm-up is the preparation of muscles for more intense physical activity. It helps avoid injury;
• The basic training part is a change of static and dynamic loads of varying degrees of complexity and intensity, aimed at modeling the facial contour and eliminating age-related changes;
• Facial massage for wrinkles is an effective method of face-building health therapy based on tactile influence. It perfectly helps muscles recover after physical effort and corrects imperfections.

The figure shows massage lines for the face and décolleté.

Massage lines

Relaxation is the final stage of Face building. Increased tone is characteristic of the facial muscles. This leads to the appearance of small facial wrinkles. Facebuilding makes it possible to relax areas of tension that are prone to the appearance of severe wrinkles, and learn to control your emotions.

Now let’s look at the most famous and effective face-building exercises. Each technique is accompanied by pictures to make it easier for you to understand its essence.

For youthful lip lines

Make an "O" with your lips and press them to your teeth. Then move your index fingers from bottom to top, starting from the sides of your lips towards your nose. Perform this exercise until you feel tension and a slight burning sensation.

A full range of gymnastics for youthful lips can be studied in the article.

To rejuvenate the eye area

Place your index fingers right in the middle of your eyebrows, your thumbs at the bottom of your eyes. Close your eyelids. Gently move your index fingers up and your thumbs down, gently pressing both points as your eyes close. Do this exercise for 40 seconds and then rest.

We also recommend studying the entire complex for youthful eyes, which includes techniques for sagging eyelids, exercises for sunken eyes and wrinkles in their corners.

To rejuvenate and strengthen the chin muscles

• Place your hand at the base of your neck, point your chin up, touch your upper lip with your tongue, turn your head one way or the other;
• Hold this position for 30 seconds on each side and relax.

Since removing a double chin is not an easy task, we recommend using all known methods for eliminating it at home, as well as other exercises for a double chin.

To prevent forehead wrinkles

Place your fingers above your eyebrows as shown in the photo, lightly press down with your fingertips, and move your eyebrows up in the opposite direction. Hold for 30 seconds and rest.

In addition to this technique, we recommend that you study an article where we have collected the best and most effective exercises for the forehead from different techniques.

For lifting cheeks, cheekbones and facial contours

This technique effectively removes sagging cheeks and models the oval of the face.

• Take in as much air as possible, holding it in the mouth, inflating the cheeks;
• Fix the position for 20 seconds;
• Repeat 15 times.

For the neck area

• Take a horizontal body position, grab and press the neck area with your hands;
• Raise your head up, feeling how your neck and gluteal muscles tense;
• Hold the pose for 1 minute and then relax.

To get good results from classes, you need to put it into practice at least 3 times a week, although it is preferable to do it every day.

Try to gradually increase the time of approaches so that it takes 10 or 15 minutes a day.

To properly perform neck gymnastics, it is recommended to do it in front of a mirror in order to take the correct poses.

It should be remembered that our appearance and age-related changes in the face depend on the statics of the neck and the health of its muscles.

Therefore, to maintain her health and improve the condition of her face, it is recommended to perform exercises for the neck, especially paying attention to exercises for the withers

How to complement the practice?

It is worth noting that to obtain visible results on the face, it will take at least two weeks to a month of regular practice.

This is due to the fact that muscles have the ability to restore their previous condition.

One of these techniques is biomechanical stimulation of the face and neck, one session of which is equal to twelve sessions of manual massage in terms of the effectiveness of restoring muscle tone.

To maintain the results obtained, it is recommended to perform a cupping massage and apply tapes to the face at night (what it is and how it is used for rejuvenation is described in the corresponding article).

A facial mesoscooter will help complement natural rejuvenation procedures.

Debunking myths about face fitness

Despite the popularity of this method of preventing aging and rejuvenation, there are still quite a lot of stereotypes and “horror stories” that stop many on the path to self-improvement. Read the forums, you will probably find reviews full of doubts, something like: but my grandmother did nothing, she put cucumbers on her eyes all her life and looks great, but all your methods and cosmetologists are evil! But you and I are advanced and we know that cucumbers are unlikely to rejuvenate the face.

Let's consider the most popular myths about facial gymnastics:

1. It is better to touch your face as little as possible. The face is not only the skin that we see and can touch. This is a rather complex structure, which is represented by skin, fat, muscles, fascia and, of course, bones. Yes, you should not touch your face with dirty hands, and also do self-massages that you invented yourself. But gymnastics for the face and neck, performed correctly, will not harm your face in any way, but on the contrary, will make it even more beautiful.
2. It takes too much time to do face fitness. Tell yourself how much time you spend every day on such simple things as: tidying up your hair, brushing your teeth, taking a shower or bath, choosing and ironing clothes, etc. In general, everything you do to look attractive and pleasant to smell. It is enough to allocate only 10-15 minutes a day for facial gymnastics. Out of 24 hours, even in the busiest schedule, you can carve out these minutes for your own beauty, right?
3. If you have already started doing gymnastics, continue for the rest of your life, otherwise everything will get much worse. With the right selection of exercises (and, of course, their implementation), you will soon notice the results of your work on your face: the oval of your face will tighten, your double chin will disappear, and wrinkles will smooth out. And what will happen if for some reason you “forget” about yourself and stop studying? Within a couple of months, the entire result will fade away, and you will again see your “old” reflection in the mirror. In contrast, it seems to many that they have begun to look terrible, but in fact - only as they were originally, before doing face fitness.
4. Before the age of 25, it’s too early to do face fitness, but after 40, it’s already useless. Yes, if we talk about more aggressive face-building, it is better to start practicing after 25. But face fitness has no age restrictions. On the contrary, the sooner you start, the better. As for the age of 40 years, the uselessness of classes is nothing more than an absurd myth. Believe me, even if you start exercising at 60, you will see results. Yes, this will take more time than in 20 or 30 years, but still they will be, and quite good ones.

Reviews from doctors about face fitness are mostly positive. If you choose the right set of exercises for yourself and perform them in order every day, you will see excellent results. Do not believe slogans like “minus 10 years in 10 minutes” - this is a lie. The first changes can be noticed after 10-12 days, and in order to achieve what you want, you will have to “fit” classes into your schedule every day.

Facebuilding: exercises for lips, nasolabial folds

Do you dream of plump lips, but you can’t afford expensive beauty salon procedures, or maybe you are against injections and surgeries? Unique lip complexes aimed at enlarging them are a free, safe alternative. A gymnastics complex for nasolabial folds will help to emphasize the beauty of your smile and rejuvenate it.

One of the most effective is the complex:

• Dropped corners. Close your lips, turning them inward, and bite with your teeth. Smile, stretching the smile as wide as possible.
• Thin lips. Press the corners of your mouth. Slowly compress your lips as tightly as possible and then unclench them.
• Thin lips. Puff up your lips slightly and use your index finger to make quick tapping movements in the center of your lips. Perform until you feel a burning sensation.
• Nasolabial folds. Place your index fingers in the folds and press lightly. Alternately smile broadly and stretch your lips forward.

A distinctive feature of face-building exercises is that you can do them yourself at any time: while taking a bath, cleaning, cooking or watching TV.

• Folds. The mouth is slightly open in the shape of an oval. The index fingers are placed strictly on the folds. Rhythmic movements of the phalanges up and down, alternately.
• For smoothing nasolabial folds. Place your index fingers on the sides of your nose. Wrinkle your nose as much as possible, widening your nostrils.

Perform each exercise for ten to fifteen seconds. The number of repetitions is individual. This complex will help remove nasolabial folds, make your lips plump, and your smile unforgettable.

Face fitness - exercises

There are a large number of aerobics techniques for the face, but their essence is approximately the same. There are basic principles regarding face fitness training:

1. During classes, it is important to relax so that you feel comfortable. It is best to practice in front of a mirror to control your movements.
2. For facial fitness exercises to work, you should do them regularly. Train every day, preferably morning and evening, dedicating 10-15 minutes to it.
3. Do everything in front of a mirror to be able to control yourself. It is equally important to concentrate on your own sensations in order to understand which muscle is working.
4. During exercises, it is forbidden to stretch the skin too much, otherwise you may get new wrinkles.
5. It is recommended to practice while sitting, with a straight back. In addition, you should first cleanse your face and scrub.
6. If you feel unwell, training should be postponed.

Face fitness for lips

Modern girls, striving to become the owners of plump lips, agree to “beauty injections.” In fact, this is not at all necessary, since there are simple but effective exercises that will help you achieve the desired result. Face fitness classes for the face should include the following movements:

1. Pull the middle part of your lips and release them sharply to hear a characteristic sound. Do everything in eight counts.
2. Pull your lips forward, but do not curl them into a tube. The exercise can be called “duck”.
3. Face fitness includes one more movement: bite your lower lip, and first stretch your upper lip forward, as in the previous exercise, and then lower it down.

Face fitness for the forehead

This is where expression lines are most visible, on the forehead. To keep it smooth and wrinkle-free as much as possible, it is recommended to perform the following face fitness exercises for the forehead:

1. To relax the muscles that are used when bringing your eyebrows together, do the train exercise. To do this, expand the eyebrow area by placing your fingers in the center between the eyebrows and spreading them to the sides.
2. Press the palm of one hand to your forehead and move it down slightly without reducing the pressure. Raise and lower your eyebrows.

Face fitness for eyes

They say that a woman’s eyes can determine her age and condition, since fatigue and other problems are always reflected in them. Swelling in the eye area, drooping eyelids, crow's feet, all this can be removed with the help of special exercises. Face fitness is great for bags under the eyes:

1. Stretch your lips in the shape of the letter “o”, lift your eyes up and start blinking actively. Make sure that wrinkles do not form on your forehead.
2. The next face fitness exercise is difficult to perform, since it is important to feel the muscle, which is popularly called the “elevator”. Lower and raise your eyelid, but don't help with your eyebrows.
3. Draw circles with your eyes, without missing a single corner. Rub your palms and cover your eyes with them, which should be closed. Continue drawing circles with them without opening your eyelids. Close your eyes and seem to draw them in, and then relax.

Face fitness for eyelids

A common problem among the fair sex is drooping of the upper eyelid. This not only makes you look older, but also makes your face look tired. The problem arises because there is a small muscle under the eyelid that loses its tone. Face fitness for the impending eyelid offers a unique exercise, to perform which, open your eyes as wide as possible and hold for four counts. While maintaining tension, close your eyes for the same amount of time.

Face fitness for cheeks

To reduce the volume of your cheeks and make your cheekbones more pronounced, you need to train the zygomatic muscle. For this, face fitness offers the best exercises:

1. Lower your lower jaw, creating an “o” shape for your mouth. Place your index fingers over your lower teeth inside your mouth. The task is to use the pressure of the cheeks to bring the fingers together, which should be straight. Please note that the tension should be applied to the cheeks, not the mouth. To relieve tension, puff out and relax your cheeks several times.
2. As in the first exercise, you need to draw out your mouth in an “o” shape and place your index fingers inside, but only under the upper lip, at about 45°. Again, try to bring your fingers together with your muscles.
3. You need to remember a little anatomy and understand where the zygomatic muscle is located, which runs diagonally across the cheeks. Lower your lower jaw again and repeat the letter “o” with your lips, and then try to tense and relax the zygomatic muscle. To help yourself in the first stages, you can repeat the short letter “o”.

Face fitness for double chin

This problem is not only for older women, but also for those who love sweets, that is, overweight people. A double chin makes you look older and deprives you of beauty, but don’t despair, because there is a simple set of face fitness exercises:

1. To warm up, open your mouth slightly and stretch your lower jaw forward, without making strong efforts. The upper lip should be relaxed.
2. Face fitness uses an exercise called the scoop. To perform it, open your mouth and slightly curl your lower lip inward. Perform scooping movements, straining the lower jaw and pushing it forward to the maximum. It is important not to overstrain the corners of the lips to prevent creases from forming. To relax your muscles, open and close your mouth slightly.
3. To remove a double chin, you need to work the hyoid muscle. To do this, try to pull your tongue towards your nose, stretching it forward and upward as much as possible.
4. Finish the complex with the exercise that was used for warming up, only in this case perform it with effort, trying to stretch the lower jaw forward to the maximum. It is important that not only the chin is tensed, but also the lateral muscles of the neck.

Face fitness exercises for nasolabial folds

Another common problem that many representatives of the fair sex face is nasolabial folds. To remove folds, many people do “beauty injections,” but the problem is not worth such sacrifices, because face fitness will remove nasolabial folds:

1. To perform the first exercise, use your index fingers to fix the nasolabial folds, from the wings of the nose to the tips of the mouth. Tighten and relax your upper lip. These movements are very similar to those that rabbits perform when they sniff something.
2. Face fitness for beginners includes another exercise for which you first need to determine the location of muscle creases. To do this, sit in front of a mirror, open your mouth slightly and raise and lower your upper lip, observing the muscles that are located near the wings of your nose. After this, fix this area with your fingers and continue to lift your upper lip. It is important to not allow creases to form with your fingers.
3. For the next exercise, first you just need to move your nose down, it is important not to move your lip. If that doesn't work, then open your mouth slightly. To add stress to the muscle, slightly lift the tip of your nose with your index finger and continue the movement.

Face fitness for oval face

If you think that only a plastic surgeon can correct the shape of your face, this is a mistake. Beauty face fitness solves this problem too, thanks to special exercises that should be performed regularly:

1. For a beautiful oval face, it is important to work on the neck. Sit on the edge of a chair, straighten your back and lift your chin slightly. Tilt your body back, but do not throw your head back, keeping it in the starting position.
2. For the next exercise, first make a grimace while saying the letter “s” to determine the location of the creases. Fix this place with your palms and continue doing the same movement.
3. Lift your chin up a little and push your lower jaw forward for five counts, and then hold the position for the same amount of time.
4. Open your mouth, then tilt your head back and close your jaw. Lower your head to the starting position and repeat all over again.
5. Face fitness offers another exercise, for which you first need to press the tip of your tongue on the upper palate, and then on the area located behind the lower teeth.
6. Press your tongue against the roof of your mouth, just do it with the entire surface, not just the tip.

Ancient Japanese massage technique Asahi

Care for oily skin

By performing a massage using the Asahi method, you can restore freshness and radiance to your face in just two weeks. Before the massage, you need to wash off your makeup and warm up your face by lubricating it with oil, preferably olive oil. The oil does not absorb into the skin as quickly as a cream and allows your hands to glide over your face easily rather than tugging at the skin. The oil and hands should be warm. Using warm hands, lubricate your forehead, cheeks, and neck.

The massage is effective and gives quick results because it affects the connective tissue and muscles of the face. It improves blood circulation, triggers lymphatic drainage and promotes better oxygen supply to facial tissues. This massage can be done daily as the technique is simple and will not cause any side effects.

The massage is performed according to the scheme indicated below. The whole complex takes 7-10 minutes. Each movement is performed five to ten times:

1. Forehead area. Place the fingers of both hands in the middle of the forehead and make smoothing movements in an arc, slightly upward and to the sides, repeating the contours of the forehead, ending in a semicircle at the temples, pressing a little at the end of the movement. In this place there are biologically active points responsible for relieving or reducing headaches.
2. Eye area.
