How to change your face shape exercises

Well-defined cheekbones, slightly sunken cheeks and a chiseled chin form a beautiful oval face, making the appearance sophisticated, graceful and expressive. Unfortunately, not everyone can boast of such traits, especially for those who have already turned thirty.

Nowadays, there are many methods by which the oval of the face is corrected, starting with all kinds of massages, cosmetic procedures such as myostimulation or thread lifting and ending with surgical operations. But in the pursuit of fashionable procedures, many forget about other, perhaps even no less effective, ways to improve their appearance. Some of the most effective include various exercises for the facial muscles.

Why do you need facial exercises?

Over time, the facial muscles weaken, lose tone and the muscle frame begins to change shape, which leads to sagging cheeks, the appearance of a double chin, and, accordingly, deformation of the oval. If you train them regularly, the condition of problem areas will improve significantly. The muscles will become toned, the skin will smooth out and gain elasticity, and the face will look much younger.

Other advantages of this method of correcting the shape of the face include the fact that you won’t have to spend a penny on your transformation, and it won’t require much physical or time investment.

Exercises for a facelift can be very different, since today there are many complexes that allow you to combat this problem. We will look at the most popular and well-proven ones. But first, let’s get acquainted with the general rules for performing such exercises.

Exercises for the face - basic rules for implementation:

1. Before starting gymnastics, clean your face and apply cream to it.
2. Try to practice while sitting, in a relaxed position, looking at yourself in the mirror.
3. Perform the exercises slowly, tensing your muscles as much as possible.
4. Do the selected complex daily; on average, it should take you from ten to fifteen minutes.
5. Perform each exercise so that after several repetitions a slight burning sensation occurs in the muscles.

Now let's talk in more detail about each of the complexes.

Everyone knows that old age is primarily manifested in wrinkles and sagging skin. But the elasticity of the skin itself and the contour of our face depend on how good the tone of the facial muscles is. To keep your facial muscles toned, just like in fitness, you need proper and effective exercises.

That's why Bright Side publishes a set of the best exercises that, according to doctors, will help your face stay fit and young for many years.

Warming up the muscles

To ensure that your efforts are not in vain, before starting any “training,” the muscles need to be properly stretched and warmed up.

Sit or stand with your back straight. Now try to pronounce vowel sounds as clearly and drawn out as possible (“a”, “o”, “i”, “e”). Take your time and continue the exercise until you feel warmth all over your face.

Sit on a chair and tilt your head back. Now imagine that you need to reach a light bulb with your lower lip. Protrude your lower lip as much as possible and hold in this position for 5-10 seconds. Then relax and repeat 2-3 more times.
