Get fit to face the world with these facial exercises.
A well-rounded physical fitness routine is a key component to living a healthy lifestyle. But we typically neglect to work out the very muscles people see the most — our faces. Just like the rest of your body, the more than 57 muscles in your face and neck require exercise to stay toned and fit. These simple facial exercises can help you strengthen facial muscles, get a slim face, and even combat signs of aging.
Contents
The Brow-Raiser
If you want: Lifted brows
Perform this facial exercise regularly to keep your brows up where they belong:
- Put your index and middle fingers together in a closed peace sign
- Rest your fingernails over your brows and gently push the skin down
- Lift your brows up and down, while creating resistance with the weight of your fingernails
- Repeat 10 times
- Complete 6 sets
Tip: Add FOREO’s IRIS™2 to your face workout to target signs of aging around the eye contour.
The Cheekbone Lift
If you want: Defined cheekbones
We weren’t all blessed with Angelina-Jolie-as-Maleficent cheekbones, but facial exercise can help you get a little closer. Trade-in flabby, fat cheeks for defined cheekbones by following these steps:
- Place your fingers over each cheekbone
- Gently lift the skin until taut
- Open your mouth to form an elongated “O”; you should feel resistance in your cheek muscles
- Hold for 5 seconds
- Complete 10-15 sets
The Chipmunk Cheek Squeeze
If you want: A slim face
Sculpt fat cheeks and an excuse to make a fish face over and over again? Sign us up. Here’s how to lose those acorn-storage pouches:
- Tilt your head all the way back and push your chin forward
- Suck your cheeks in as much as possible
- Hold for 5 seconds
- Complete 10-15 sets
The Jaw Flex
If you want: A toned jawline
A double chin can make you look heavier and older than you really are. Trim face fat and get a more defined look with this face workout:
- Tilt your head back until you’re looking at the ceiling
- Move your lower lip over your upper lip as far as you can; you should feel this in the jaw muscles near your ears
- Hold for 10 seconds
- Complete 10-15 sets
The Puffer Fish Press
If you want: Wrinkle-free nasolabial folds
This facial exercise will help reduce the very un-funny appearance of laugh lines around your mouth. Here’s how:
- Close your mouth and puff up your cheeks
- Move the air from one cheek to the other
- Repeat for 30 seconds
Just like you should use a foam roller after a normal workout, use the anti-aging side of your LUNA™ 4 to massage away any tension after your facial exercises.
