Lips and cheeks facial exercises

Facial exercises are of great benefit to all people, women and men of all ages, young, adult, mature, to have a great, smooth, youthful, anti-aging ageless face and skin. If the skin around your mouth is puckered and lined, it not only gives you a bitter look, but also adds years to your visual age.

This page deals with facial exercises specifically dealing with lips and cheeks. Here you will find facial exercises to deal with problematic wrinkled and lined lips as well as lined and sagging cheeks. A "bitter" mouth with grim lines and furrows is not my idea of the "look" of a positive and vital person, and sagging jowls and cheeks might look good on certain dogs, but definitely not on humans.

Herewith some facial exercises that we feel you might find useful in your quest for a smooth ageless face, without any surgical facelift, and totally free, gratis and for nothing. Facial exercises will assist in achieving this. Like normal exercises, facial exercises need to be done regularly to achieve and get the full benefit from them.

Smooth and firm skin around your lips and on your cheeks and chin will greatly help in making you look years younger and far more vital. The lips and cheeks can be a problem area to treat, but facial exercises will go a long way to making you look years younger.

Get firm, tight facial muscles and ban hard bitter lines around your lips and firm up slack cheeks with regular facial exercises.

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.

A lined mouth, surrounded by wrinkles, lines and furrows running from the nose is not a pretty sight, and ages the face terribly.

The same goes for slack cheeks with no muscle tone and covered with furrows, lines and wrinkles - truly not a pretty picture.

Instructions

Facial exercises should be done once a day, and this regimen can be continued for your entire life, or you could scale down to three times a week, after completing a month of daily exercises.

Some people report that minor spots or blemishes appear after starting facial exercises, and yes, it is normal.

The skin is once again stimulated to produce its natural oils and lubricants and these minor spots may appear when starting facial exercises, until the skin is functioning efficiently and correctly again. Skin cells get lazy and stagnate, but with proper exercises these cells are once again activated to work with renewed vigor.
