Get a Quick Face Lift Through Exercise

A routine face lift can be a quick solution to a sagging face; sometimes painful and always expensive. Surgical facelifts can be dangerous and come with a risk of medical complications. Chemical lifts can usually only be done in a clinic, and other tools and machines to exercise and tone the face can be expensive and time consuming to use.

Creams and topical treatments are not able to reverse severely sagging skin and deep lines on the face. For the best results without spending a fortune or using any tools or machines, consider doing simple exercises to keep the face firm and give it a lift in areas that tend to sag. Facial exercises can be done in the comfort of the home, on a break at work or even in the car during a traffic jam. The next time you have a few extra minutes, try these simple face firming exercises for a quick lift.

Double Chin

To decrease a double chin and eventually take it away, lie on your back on a flat surface. Raise your head, slowly, and touch your chin to your chest. Slowly return your head back to the ground. Repeat this chin to chest exercise 10 times, and work up to 50 a day once the muscles are stronger.




Sagging Jowls

To help tighten up cheeks and neck that sag, pull your bottom lip over your top lip and smile. Tilt your chin slightly upwards until you can feel it pulling on your neck. Hold this position for a 10 count, and repeat 5 times. Once you are accustomed to this exercise, try repeating the exercise 10 times per day, once in the morning and once at night.

Crows Feet

This simple exercise is easy to do at night while applying face and eye cream. Close your eyes tightly and slide thumbs from the corners of your eyes towards your temples. Rest your other fingers on the top of your head. Do this exercise 10 times in the morning and at night for best results.

Upper Eyelid

As age sets in, the upper eyelid often tends to fall and sag. To firm the upper eyelid, place your index fingers just under your eyebrows. Push your fingers up while closing your eye and stretching your eyelid down. Repeat this several times a day.

Facial Stretch

This exercise can be used to tone the whole face. Open your mouth as wide as you can and stick your tongue out as far as you can. Open your eyes wide, and hold this position for a count of 10. Repeat 5 times for a full cycle. Be careful not to take this position too quickly to avoid jaw discomfort.

*If you have had a surgical face lift, do not use facelift exercises. Facelift exercises could interfere with the work your surgeon has already done.
