Not many people are familiar with the concept of face and neck exercises. Most people know about the benefits of exercising for your body, but they ignore the great benefits of keeping the tone of your face and neck muscles. Imperfections like wrinkles, sagging skin or under eye bags can be prevented or improved with some regular and quick workouts for your facial area.

Moisturizers and creams are okay for fighting wrinkles, but you are only fighting a part of the problem this way. To keep you face and neck area young looking and without sagging, you should work on the muscle tone. There are several parts to work on: Cheeks, lips, neck, forehead, eyes, etc. If you want to look younger than what your wrinkles tell, exercising your facial muscles will prevent you from getting a double chin and sagging neck (or make them look better if you already have them) and also make you look lighter (people tend to mistake a double chin as an excess weight sign, when often it is just a poor muscle tone problem).

Another beneficial and effective exercise consists on lying on your back on your bed. Rest your head over the bed’s edge and with a slow movement bring it up towards your body for around 10 seconds. Then relax and put your head back down over the border. By doing 5 or more repetitions a day, you will start to see a general improvement in the definition and tone of your neck and chin very soon.

One of the easiest workouts for your lips is sitting upright with your head looking to the straight to the front. Put your lips and teeth together, smile as much as you can and hold it for 5 seconds. Then relax, purse your lips to a kissing position and hold it for another 5 seconds. You should do this at least 10 times a day.
