Exercises from Santa Maria Runge

The famous facelift complex from Santa Maria Runge is already 57 years old. In 1961, the book “Facelift with Exercise” was first published. Since then it has been republished several times. The beauty salon of Santa Maria Runge in Hollywood was visited by world stars, and this indicates the high effectiveness of the technique. The exercises are strong, so they are performed only after 40 years of age to correct existing wrinkles. The complex is based on isometric exercises, when the muscles begin to work against natural contractions. In addition, fingers are placed on special points for greater impact. The idea is to tense only one muscle group and relax the rest as much as possible. All movements are done slowly. We train for 5 days, then rest for 2 days. The course lasts 4 months. After that there is a break of 1 month.

Execution technique

Using a zone map, we determine our contour defect. And we find the muscle group in which it originated. Draw this area on the face with a pencil.

We push the lower jaw forward. Pull the lower lip over the upper one. Pull the left corner of the lips upward, squinting the eye. Repeat for the right corner and rest.
2. For saggy chin. You should prepare for this exercise. In front of the mirror, pull your chin up with your lower lip. The movement is performed in 10 counts. We also slowly return the chin. After preparation, we move on to isometric load. Raise your chin. Then slowly stretch your chin up. Then we return. We do it 5 times a day.

Japanese gymnastics

It is also called Asahi massage. This is an ancient technique that was revived by Japanese cosmetologist Hiroshi Hisashi. It is believed that Asahi massage was used by geishas to stay young for many years.

Daily light facial exercises are perfect for prevention. But after 30, you can safely use the rest of the methods:

1. gymnastics of Margarita Levchenko,
2. Shiatsu,

Reviews

There are results from gymnastics if you do them regularly, but they can also get worse if you do the exercises incorrectly. Go to specialized forums, there are very good girls there, they will tell you and help you if you need anything. I’ve been doing exercises for problem areas for six months now, I started with Maggio, now I’m doing a couple of exercises from Maggio and a few more from other complexes. The deterioration was caused by the exercise on the nasolabial lips - they increased even more, then I read about my mistakes, and now I have corrected everything.

I do it 2 times a day for about two months. The promising result that the developers of such exercises predict is not there, however, the nasolabial muscles have become a little softer, they used to rush too sharply. Therefore, I think, although it is unlikely that it will be possible to get rid of wrinkles completely with the help of gymnastics, it is worth resorting to it at least to ensure that the wrinkles do not progress.

I have been studying Cantieni and Maggio for several years. 1-3 times a day, 3-10 minutes. Now I’m 35, I don’t have any facial wrinkles at all, not even thin ones, no one gives me more than 25, and even then, unless I look very fresh, it’s usually 19–20. The initial data is normal. Genetics too. The main problem was the lack of clearly defined cheekbones, so I made them myself. Now the oval of the face is “heart-shaped”. “This doesn’t help”, “if you quit, it will be even worse” - excuses for lazy chickens. You will never have anything worse than it was before. Neither in the case of sports, nor with face-building, on the contrary, the muscles will maintain good tone for a long time... another thing is that you get used to the good and any deterioration will immediately catch your eye.

WEIGHT LOSS STORIES OF STARS!

Irina Pegova shocked everyone with her weight loss recipe: “I lost 27 kg and continue to lose weight, I just brew it at night.” Read more >>

Set of exercises, which includes facial exercises, is the prevention of aging. With regular exercise, skin nutrition will significantly improve, elasticity and muscle tone will noticeably increase. Like any other part of the human body, facial muscles must be sufficiently mobile. To do this, you should train the muscles of the face and neck.

Facial exercises are a kind of lift. With regular exercise, changes in appearance will be noticeable soon. Unlike salon rejuvenating procedures, regularly performed gymnastics at home does not require financial costs and brings much more benefits.

It is recommended to perform a set of exercises in the morning, in a standing position, in order to feel the tone of the whole body. In addition to the direct benefits for appearance, facial exercises lift your mood throughout the day and give a woman self-confidence.

There are various techniques that allow you to preserve the youth of your face and neck and restore the previous contours when age-related changes appear. One of the popular programs is the "Face Forming" complex, created by Galina Dubinina. As a basis for her method, Galina took exercises from face-building, the founder of which is plastic surgeon Reinhold Benz. It only takes 10 minutes a day to practice.

Fitness from Galina Dubinina promotes the synthesis of collagen and elastin and improves microcirculation in tissues. As a result, skin nutrition improves, and the oval of the face becomes clearer. After regular exercise, fine wrinkles are smoothed out, and deep ones become less noticeable.

Anastasia Burdyug’s technique is called “Super Face”, and is aimed at improving the condition of the muscles of the face and neck. The twenty-minute complex developed by this author does not require the use of special tools. The advantages of these methods are as follows:

1. lymph flow and blood circulation of the facial muscles improves;
2. allows you to refuse expensive salon procedures and services of plastic surgeons;
3. mood improves noticeably and self-esteem increases.

Facial muscles are different from body muscles. They are mostly flat and thin. If the sagging muscles of the body are explained by their weakness and decreased tone, then wrinkles and folds on the face appear due to hypertonicity. To achieve the desired effect, you need a competent approach to selecting a set of exercises.

With the help of gymnastic exercises to train the eyelids, you can slow down the age-related drooping of the upper eyelid and get rid of pronounced “crow’s feet”. Exercises for the cheekbones can significantly improve the shape of the face due to microcirculation in the tissues.

In cases where it is impossible to completely get rid of wrinkles, gymnastics will help make them less pronounced.

Classes should begin as early as possible, before ptosis, or sagging tissue, appears. At a more mature age, the technique rejuvenates and tightens the facial contour and therefore also gives the desired result. It is recommended to do gymnastics for the face and neck every morning. In the initial stage, you can do exercises every other day, gradually moving on to regular daily training.

For classes you will need a mirror so that you can control the correctness of the movements. Hands must be clean and dry. First, you need to slightly warm up the skin with light massage movements and only then start doing the exercises. There should be no makeup on the face or décolleté.

A slight tingling and redness on the skin of the face during exercise indicates that the blood supply to the tissues and the lymphatic system are actively working.

Before starting exercise, lightly tingling should warm up the muscles. The complex consists of exercises to influence all groups of facial muscles.

Exercises developed by A. Burdyuk:

1. For firmer cheeks and lower face tone. Open your mouth slightly, roll your upper lip inward without exposing your teeth. The skin on the chin should be taut. The lower jaw does not need to be extended. Open and close your mouth in this position.

3. Against crow's feet. Press, pulling back, with your fingers on the outer corners of the eyes. Repeat 10 times with your eyes open and the same number with your eyes closed.
4. To relieve fatigue and shine in the eyes. Perform “shooting with the eyes” from side to side, in circular movements, and up and down.
