Softly defined cheekbones, elastic cheeks and a chiseled chin form a beautiful oval of a woman’s face. In the hope of maintaining youth, many women resort to miraculous cosmetics with a tightening effect. However, not a single cream can affect weakened facial muscles - the main cause of sagging cheeks and chin. For this purpose, there is special gymnastics - exercises for tightening the oval of the face, which allows you to restore the muscles to their former tone and prevent the aging process of the skin.
Why do you need facial exercises?
With age, the muscular frame of a person's face becomes weaker, and if it is not trained in the same way as the body, a gradual reduction in muscle volume and a change in their shape occurs - deformation. But if body flaws can be hidden under beautiful clothes, then sagging areas on the face cannot be hidden.
There are about 60 muscles on the human face, forming an invisible framework under the skin and forming its oval. If you properly train your facial muscles, you can extend your youth by 10–20 years or more.
Unfortunately, from an early age people form incorrect habits that lead to overstrain (hypertonicity) of some facial muscles. For example, when thinking, a person may wrinkle his forehead, frown or tense his cheeks for half an hour. Over time, this is reflected on the face in the form of horizontal and vertical folds in the corresponding areas.
The other extreme is long-term inactivity of other muscles not used in facial expressions - hypotonicity. This phenomenon leads to drooping of the upper eyelids, the formation of nasolabial folds and bulldog cheeks. Exercise, done correctly and regularly, will help in both the first and second cases, strengthen the contour, and restore the skin’s former elasticity. And the sooner you start doing it, the better.
Advantages and disadvantages of exercises for tightening the oval face
The system of exercises for tightening the muscles of the face and neck is called facebuilding (from the English face - face, build - to build). This technique is a worthy replacement for hardware methods of rejuvenation and even plastic surgery. By the way, its founder is a plastic surgeon, a specialist in the field of facial muscles from Germany, Reinhold Benz. Gymnastics for the face and neck quickly became popular due to its many advantages, but like any other system, it has its own characteristics. They can be presented more clearly in the form of a table.

Contraindications for implementation
No matter how safe face-building may seem, there are a number of factors that make facial gymnastics undesirable:
- hypertension;
- herpes and other skin diseases in the acute stage;
- open wounds and serious skin damage;
- acne with open pustules;
- trigeminal neuralgia;
- conjunctivitis;
- allergic sensitivity;
- sunburn.
Specialists at plastic surgery clinics do not recommend performing facial exercises after various anti-aging injections (Botox) and plastic surgery for 2–3 years.
Exercises for tightening the oval face
This set of exercises, if performed regularly (daily or every other day), will give the first tangible results within 1–2 weeks. Turgor will increase, the double chin will decrease, and signs of fatigue will disappear. However, it will take at least 2-3 months for the formation of elastic cheeks.
Before the procedure, it is necessary to prepare the skin of the face by clearing it of cosmetics, warming it up with light massage movements of clean hands and energetic pats for 2-3 minutes. Make sure that your posture is always straight during exercise, and at the end of the workout, do not forget to apply moisturizer to consolidate the effect.
This exercise for a facelift at home prevents the development of wrinkles on the forehead, which form with frequent frowning, and helps smooth out existing ones. They do it in the following sequence:
- Press the skin on the surface of your forehead with both palms.
- Mentally direct your energy to the area being developed.
- Raise your eyebrows high up, as if you are surprised, hold in this position, and after 1-2 seconds lower them.
- Repeat first at a slow pace 6-8 times, then at a faster pace.
- At the end, you can hold the frontal muscles in a state of tension for 10–20 seconds, then relax, exhaling calmly through your mouth.
Exercise eliminates horizontal wrinkles on the forehead
The second exercise is aimed at strengthening the muscles responsible for the condition of the skin between the eyebrows. They do it like this:
- Fix the eyebrow line with your index fingers.
- Concentrate your attention on the problem area.
- Try moving them closer to the bridge of your nose for 2-3 seconds, then relax.
- Repeat 8-10 times slowly, then the same number of times, but faster.
- Shift the muscles and hold in this state for 10-20 seconds, relax, exhaling freely.
Exercise reduces the severity of vertical wrinkles on the forehead
The following exercise will help not only smooth out wrinkles near the eyes, but also relieve visual tension, for example, after working at the computer for a long time. Do it like this:
- Trying not to move your eyebrows, open your eyes wide and close them.
- Repeat slowly at first 10–20 times.
- Now speed up the pace by blinking for another 30-60 seconds.
- Finally, open your eyes as wide as possible and hold in this position for 10–20 seconds.
- Relax and exhale through your mouth.
One of the most effective exercises for smoothing out wrinkles in the corners of the eyes is considered to be repeated squinting while simultaneously fixing the annular muscle. This can be done in different ways using your hands:
- holding the skin on the outer and inner corners with your index and middle fingers;
- placing your index fingers on your upper eyelids and your middle fingers on your lower eyelids;
- fixing the skin under the eyes with your palms, focusing on the lower eyelids or from the outer corners to prevent “crow’s feet.”
The sequence of performing the exercise is usual: first we slowly squint about 10 times, then we do the same thing, but faster, and finally we hold the squint for 10–20 seconds, relax our face and release air through our mouth.
Facebuilding allows you to work separately on each muscle
The variety of ways to fix the eye muscles is a great advantage of this exercise.
The following series of exercises will help get rid of two problems at once: sagging cheeks and nasolabial folds, forming an unpleasant triangle above the upper lip. Do it in this order:
- Take a little air into your mouth and roll it from one cheek to the other 8-10 times.
- Then roll from the upper lip to the lower and vice versa - 8-10 times.
- Next, roll the air in a circle: first from left to right, then from right to left. And so on 4 times in each direction.
- Puff out your cheeks and slowly release a thin stream through tense lips - 10 times.
To strengthen the muscles of the cheeks, you need to develop a useful habit - regularly stretch your lips with a tube, as if to blow a kiss. It is advisable to also raise the chin so that the entire oval of the face is properly tightened.
An exercise to tighten the oval of the face allows you to pump up the cheek muscles and make the upper cheekbones more convex, like a cat’s. It's very simple to do:
- Open your mouth and stretch your lips forward, giving them an oval shape.
- Try to smile 10 times, concentrating on the tense muscles of your cheeks and mouth. Use your palms to fix the protruding apples.
- Finally, hold the smile for 10-20 seconds, relax your face and exhale through your mouth.
To fix the cheek muscles, just hold them lightly with your fingers.
The exercise that shapes the cheek muscles is my favorite. It really helps get rid of sunken cheeks. If you do it longer than usual, your face begins to burn and a slight blush appears. At first I performed the complex often, but after a year I began to do it less and less. I noticed that the muscles that were once weak became stronger. Feels as if they were firmly attached to the bones. You won’t always notice this in the mirror, but if you compare the video before and after, the difference is clearly visible. It’s only a pity that I learned about Facebook building at 35 years old, and not at 25.
A set of three exercises helps strengthen the orbicularis oris muscle and form plump lips. The execution algorithm is as follows:
- Slowly run the tip of your tongue over your upper and lower gums with your mouth closed.
- Perform 8-10 rotations clockwise and in the opposite direction.
- Extend your lips like a tube and try to draw circles with them in the same sequence. Perform 8 repetitions in each direction.
It is advisable to hold the skin of your cheekbones by placing your palms on them.
Dreaming of becoming the owner of plump lips, many women turn to a plastic surgery clinic, but they can be slightly enlarged with the help of special exercises
The heroine of the famous novel “Gone with the Wind,” Scarlett O’Hara, before an important meeting, bit her lips in front of the mirror so that blood would flow to them and they would become more voluminous.
The next cycle of exercises should be done carefully, without throwing your head back too much. The feeling of tension should be light. You can perform all manipulations in a lying or sitting position as follows:
- Place your palm around the base of your neck above your collarbones.
- Slowly tilt your head back, slightly moving your lower jaw forward. Return to the starting position.
- Repeat 10–20 times, concentrating on the working muscles.
- Raise your head again, chin slightly forward, hold for 8-10 seconds. Relax and exhale through your mouth.
The palm fixes the skin of the neck
Recommendations from fitness instructors and cosmetologists
In an interview for the editors of the popular newspaper (Komsomolskaya Pravda), facial gymnastics coach of the Galina Dubinina School of Youth, Evgenia Bobrovskaya, noted that with the help of face building it is possible not only to tighten the oval of the face, contour a beautiful line of the chin and neck, but also to get rid of marks acne. Her recommended age to start training is 25 years old, since by the age of 30 many women already have muscle imbalances. It is important to pay attention to the correct technique of performing exercises and regularity of training. 5-10 minutes a day is enough to see positive changes within 2-3 weeks. And after 3 months, the muscles noticeably come to life, the depth of wrinkles is reduced, and the cheeks are rounded.
Reviews on how to non-surgically restore the contour of the head at home
I have bulldog disease and wild nasolabials as a gift. And every year it became more and more noticeable + improper skin care + 6 years of stress at university + prolonged depressive disorder, when I completely neglected myself. I always considered myself quite attractive, but these folds added 4-5 years to my appearance. I found a way out - Facebook building according to the system of Evgenia Baglyk.
What problems did I have at the beginning? Difficulty of exercises. But over time, I began to get involved and more or less understand the technique.
How regularly did I exercise? I tried to do them at least every other day. Then I slowly got involved. And when I started getting the first results, I did the exercises with great pleasure.
How long did it take me to see the first results? After 2 weeks, the nasolabial fracture became smaller. I'm glad I took the course and it was worth it.

If we pump up our body muscles for a beautiful figure, then why don’t we do the same for our face?! Since I was 30, I have been a regular client of cosmetologists. I did Botox, biorevitalization, and pumped in fillers. All these manipulations had to be constantly repeated, since their effect is temporary.
Once, while surfing the Internet on the topic of biological aging, I came across the book “Anatomy of Aging.” Until now, I had not thought about the fact that the skin is not the cause of the sunken oval and wrinkles. The responsibility for this lies with the facial muscles, which sag and atrophy with age. The law of gravity has not been canceled. I began to carefully study face-building techniques and exercises. At first it was difficult for me to simply feel the muscles of my face. My muscles that hold the central part of my face and cheekbones sagged. After gymnastics, I immediately feel a rush of blood to my face. Blood circulation increases, nutrition of facial skin cells improves.
I saw the first results after a month of regular training. The condition of my face has improved significantly. I had a muscular frame, on which the skin stretched and straightened. It is very important to learn how to do the exercises correctly. Consolidating the wrong skill will add more wrinkles and creases to your face. Therefore, I always do all the exercises in front of the mirror and clearly monitor how I perform the exercise.
