Toning the facial muscles

Everyone knows the benefits that exercise has on the body, eliciting a tighter and toned figure. Exercising your facial muscles, or "face yoga," may have a similar effect, helping to naturally lift and tone your face without costly injections, painful peels or invasive plastic surgery. Following a brief facial exercise regime of about 10 minutes per day can give you noticeably tighter muscles within a few weeks. As your muscles become stronger, the skin attached to them is tautened, yielding a more youthful look with less lines and wrinkles after several months. Open your mouth wide and stick out your tongue. Roar like a lion to open your throat.

The 60 Second Face Lift also uses galvanic infusion into the skin of collagen and retinol to help target the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can quickly reduce your double chin and jowls! Practised for over 40 years in beauty salons, faradic facial toning uses EMS Electrical Muscle Stimulation to gently contract and relax facial muscles to help tone, lift and tighten. This stimulation also increases local circulation, bringing more oxygen to the skin cells and removing toxins more rapidly, to leave the skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Iontophoresis Infusion uses small micro currents to carry the active ingredients for skin repair and rejuvenation deep into the skin. This transdermal infusion greatly increase the effectiveness of topically applied treatments which would otherwise find it difficult to penetrate skin. Lift gel patches contain positively charged collagen and retinol as anti-wrinkle and anti-ageing agents.

While the human face is a thing of beauty, maintaining taut, smooth skin often becomes a source of stress as we age. Fitness celebrities have long endorsed facial workouts designed to slim the face and reverse the aging process — from Jack LaLanne in the s to soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo in But do these exercises actually work? Countless books, websites, and product reviews promise miraculous results, but any evidence that suggests facial exercises are effective for slimming cheeks or reducing wrinkles is largely anecdotal.

The moves I learned at a "face fitness" studio definitely make me feel silly, but they are actually working. But I had no idea what to expect. I wondered if I'd break a sweat.
