Face Energizing Exercises

If you are a person who believes that by following simple formulas, you can change things in your life, you are a perfect candidate to change your face. Your face is the first thing people look at, and often times, your skin grown saggy or looks old. Some people associate this look with wisdom and intelligence, while some find it synonymous with repulsion. If you are the latter, you have probably considered plastic surgery or Botox. However, these methods can be expensive and unhealthy. Luckily, by simply massaging your face doing facial exercises, facial flexes, and by using facial flex products, you can improve the look of your skin with ease.

One face exercise begins by opening the flow of energy to your face by holding your left hand palm down, fingers out straight. With the thumb and index finger of your right hand, pinch the web like area between the thumb and index finger of your left hand. Continue to squeeze for five seconds, and then switch hands. Make sure and do the entire exercise every other day for a month. After that, do them once a week for maintenance. Unless otherwise noted, use both middle fingers and apply medium pressure for one minute.

Another exercise begins when you press upward on the points just under the inner edge of your eyebrows, near the bridge of your nose. Push upward on the points located about a thumb's width above each eyebrow and over the center of your eyes. Press the points located at the outer edge of each eyebrow, right on the brow line. Press upward on your temples. Place finger pads on the ridge of the bone just below each eye socket in line with the center of your eyes. Press gently.

Then you should press the points located beneath the center of your eye and at the level of the upper border of your nostrils. Using your index fingers, press on the points just outside the corner of your lips in the groove that is formed when you. Clench your teeth and find the muscles that bulge on each jaw. Relax your jaw and press these points using your index and middle fingers. Press the slight depressions located under your cheekbones near your hairline.

Facial massages are not only popular in the states, but Russian women find them very helpful and do them on a regular basis. A facial massage is not an indulgence but a basic beauty treatment for Russian women. Massage is maintenance. It stimulates the muscles, which keeps the skin in place. To give yourself a mini neck massage, lightly apply moisturizer to your neck. Then, using the backs of your fingers on each hand, stroke upward firmly under the chin for about five minutes. Do this once a day, either in the morning or at bedtime.
