| Facial Exercises |
| Facial exercises can increase circulation to the face and make us look and feel more vital. The best time to do facial exercises is before bed, but doing them when very tense can also be beneficial. Remember to breathe when doing these and all exercises. As you exhale, visualize facial tensions melting. |
| Avoid resting the face in the hands or pressing your face into the telephone. |
| Always lubricate the skin well before performing facial exercises. Don't wrinkle or stretch the skin; practice pressing. |
| To prevent and remedy forehead lines look straight ahead while raising the eyebrows as high as possible. Repeat several times. |
| To prevent mouth area lines, make an exaggerated smile with the mouth closed. Relax lips. Puff out the cheeks with air and move the air from side to side, then slowly blow it out. Repeat several times. |
| To reduce a double chin, open the mouth wide and thrust the lower lip outwards and upwards, trying to touch the nose. Repeat several times. |
| Try ''The Lion." Sit upright and open your eyes and mouth wide while extending the tongue toward the chin. Hold for a count of seven and repeat six more times. |
| Fill the mouth with air so that the cheeks puff out. Roll the air around in the mouth. After 20 seconds, let the air out with a pop. Repeat two more times. |
| Practice light tapping of the face. |
