Face culture: 5 simple exercises that slow down the aging process

What do we do when the body loses its shape, the stomach and buttocks sag? As a rule, we go to the gym or do gymnastics at home. And if the swollen oval of the face does not please, the skin has lost elasticity, the corners of the lips treacherously “strive” down, then with these phenomena, capaciously named – gravitational ptosis (or weakening of the facial muscles) must also be fought and in no case give up.

The causes of gravitational ptosis can be: hereditary predisposition, rapid weight loss, natural aging of facial muscles. Lack of sleep, depression, frequent stress, addiction to cigarettes – All this can exacerbate its manifestation. But, systematically doing Pilates for the face, you will strengthen its muscles and, as a result, the dermis will tighten, “leave” wrinkles and slow down the aging process.

Lifting with Pilates for the face: slowing down the aging process

Just like classic Pilates, facial gymnastics should be done without fuss: the exercises are worked out carefully, without haste, consciously. Consistency is also very important: you should set aside time for training at least four times a week.

Facial Pilates strengthens muscles that are generally not used at all.
But do not think that such gymnastics takes a lot of time. In fact, these five exercises will take you from five to ten minutes (if you show special diligence).

Face gymnastics is best done in the morning or in the evening as the final step in daily facial care.

Face gymnastics: exercises that will help slow down the aging process

When starting to perform the exercises, first of all, it is necessary to assume the correct position: the back should be straight, the shoulders should be straightened, the head raised, and the facial muscles completely relaxed. Take a deep breath-exhale five times and begin.

1. Exercise for the area around the eyes

Close your eyes and relax, hold your breath. Then, beveling them for five seconds to the base of the nose, slowly open. Now look straight ahead. This exercise is performed 5–10 times.

2. Nasolabial fold exercise

Open your mouth as wide as possible and say the following sounds loudly and clearly (the sequence also matters): "a", "o", "y", "y", "y" u».

3. Exercises to improve skin turgor

Puff out your cheeks with all possible force, closing your lips. Then slightly press on your cheeks, but do not open your lips so that air does not escape. Hold this position for at least five seconds, after which you can exhale. The exercise is performed 5 & ndash; 10 times.
Another option: imagine that you have a small tennis ball in your mouth that needs to be "rolled"; from one side to the other, and then back. Do this 5–7 times.

4. Chin strengthening exercise to another. For greater efficiency, tilt your neck as much as possible to the sides and back and forth. However, if you begin to feel dizzy, stop doing this exercise: you will return to it next time. This exercise will significantly slow down the aging process and sagging of the skin in the chin area. . Exercise outlining the oval of the face

Place your palms on your cheekbones (this must be done so that your palms feel the so-called nodules), while pulling your elbows back. Now try to relax the lower jaw as much as possible and for at least 3 minutes. rotate it first clockwise, and then – against him.
