Facial exercises for cheeks
We have only listed these facial exercises as lips and cheeks exercises, but they do in fact exercise much more. After doing these facial exercises you will feel all the muscles you have used. The muscles around your mouth and cheeks are vitally important, as lips and cheeks can line and wrinkle easily if not looked after properly.
Our poor cheeks always seem to get a raw deal - they are forever ignored and not much time is spent on them. Hanging skin forming that hang-dog look around your cheeks can be most aging, and so herewith some facial exercises to lift and firm the cheeks as well as to assist with that anti-aging and ageless look.
Cheeks 1
Sit upright facing forward with lips closed but relaxed. Pucker and pout your lips using the muscles in your cheeks. (Feel with your fingers that you are using your cheek muscles.) Keep puckered for a count of 10, relax and repeat 10 times.
Cheeks 2
Have a relaxed smile with your lips closed and then suck in your cheeks towards and on to your teeth. Hold this for 10 counts, relax and repeat 10 times.
Cheeks 3
Look in a mirror while doing this exercise. Pout your top lip, turning the corners of your lips upwards and move your cheek muscles towards your eyes. You should at this stage try to get your top lip touching your nose. Keep in this position for 10 counts, relax and repeat 5 times.
Cheeks 4
Look in a mirror while doing this exercise. Smile as widely as possible - while keeping your lips closed and your mouth corners turned up. Try to make your mouth corners touch your ears. Next wrinkle your nose and see your cheek muscles move upwards and feel these muscles work. Keep for 5 counts, relax and repeat 10 times.
Cheeks 5
Keep your teeth and lips closed and blow air under your top lip and keep it there for 10 counts, then move it to your left cheek, hold for 10, to your lower lip, hold for 10 and then to your right cheek while holding it for a count of 10. Repeat 5 times.
