Facial Exercises

The importance of facial exercises may not be realized at a younger age. But as we grow older, our skin loses its elasticity and starts sagging and then there are those annoying wrinkles. Read on to find out what are the exercises which can make your face look as youthful as ever!

A part of the secret of Sharon Stone's and Meryl Streep's evergreen beauty and youthfulness which reflects from their face is perhaps facial exercises. What do you think? Well, your face can give away a lot of things hidden deep inside you, so beware! Therefore the point which I am trying to make here is that facial skin and overall face have to be taken care off well. This may not be very important from your early teens to say late 20's and early 30's. As you progress towards 30's, this issue has to be paid attention to. In fact, one needs to give a little bit more time for his or her overall health and not just take care of the face. So, are you ready to check out some facial exercises, so that your face does not have too many wrinkles and a double chin?!

Facial Exercise #1

Simply scrunch your whole face up and hold it for a few seconds. This will include furrowing your forehead, wrinkling your nose and make sure that your eyes and mouth are tightly closed. After that, do the exact opposite of this - open your eyes and mouth as wide open as you can. Read more on facial toning exercises.
