Stay Young With Facial And Neck Exercises

Face neck exercises are somewhat of a new concept to many people. Even if they are aware of the benefits of exercise for the rest of the body, many ignore or don't realize the beneficial results for keeping the muscles in the face and neck toned and flexible. Sagging skin, wrinkles, bags under the eyes? All of these may be improved or prevented with some simple, regular workouts for that forgotten area above the shoulders!

Creams and moisturizers are good for fighting wrinkles, but you are only fighting the problem from the surface. To keep you face young and without sagging, you should work on its muscle tone. There are several parts to work on: From neck to forehead, and also the cheeks, lips and eyes area. If you want to look younger than your age, exercising these muscles will prevent you from getting a double chin and sagging neck (or improve them if you already have them) and also make you look skinnier (people tend to mistake a double or triple chin as an excess weight sign, when it's usually just a poor muscle tone problem).

Here is some useful advice for making your neck and throat look better: A very simple exercise is sitting upright and leaning your head back while looking at the ceiling, next you have to pretend to chew without your mouth closed. You must do this move about 20 times a day to start seeing great results soon.

Another beneficial and effective workout is lying on your back on your bed or a similar surface. Rest your head over the bed's border and slowly bring it up towards your chest for around 10 seconds. After this, relax, take a deep breath and put your head back down over the edge. If you do 5 or more repetitions a day, you will start to see an improvement in the definition and tone of your chin very soon.

If you're starting to see lines around your lips, you can try some of the following exercises to help diminish those lines. Before that, however, if you smoke, stop! Smoking will put those lines there faster than anything else except maybe the sun, so stop smoking while you start these face neck exercises, and improve your looks as well as your health.

One of the easiest exercises for your lips is sitting upright with your head looking to the front. Positioning your lips and teeth together, smile as much as you can and hold it for 5 seconds. While your relax, purse your lips to a kissing position and hold it for another 5 seconds. Do this at least 10 times a day.
