Four simple exercises will help to forget about the salon procedures, provided that you will perform them systematically.
Read the instructions carefully and follow them correctly. Rambler.
1. Leveling the skin of the forehead
Pros: prevents wrinkles by relaxing the muscles of the forehead and pressing on the areas where tension accumulates.
Execution method:
- Squeeze both hands into fists. Knuckles of the index and middle fingers firmly push down on the center of the forehead.
- Slowly press the fists from the center to the temples.
- Finish the exercise by gently pressing your knuckles on the temples.
- Repeat four more times.
2. Neck lift
Pros: Strengthens the neck and chin line, preventing skin sagging and the formation of a double chin.
Execution method:
- Roll the lips into a tube and direct them to one side as much as you can (you should feel the tension in your cheeks).
- Turn your head in the same direction, try to turn until the angle reaches approximately 45 degrees. Feel the tension in your cheeks.
- Hold this position for three seconds. Repeat.
- Do the same in the other direction.
3. Face lift
Pros: smoothes nasolabial folds (also called smile lines), tightens the cheeks and skin around the eyes.
Execution method:
- Place both palms on the temples.
- Bring your hands to your temples and pull up both sides of your face.
- Open your mouth as if you utter the letter “o”. Pull the jaw down as far as you can, so that the face is as long as possible.
- Hold this position for five seconds. Repeat two more times.
4. Eyelid Skin Tightening
Pros: tightens hanging eyelids and skin around the eyes, softens nasolabial folds.
Execution method:
- Lower the shoulders and lift up one arm, then tilt it back over your head and touch the temples with the tips of your fingers.
- Gently press down with your fingers, stretching your face, and then bend your head to your shoulder. The chest should be straightened.
- Hold this position, slowly exhaling through the mouth.
- Do this exercise in the other direction.
Important!
The key point in this exercise is the position of the fingers, so make sure in front of the mirror that you are doing everything correctly. It is necessary that the ring finger is on the outer corner of the eyebrows, and the middle finger - on the temple. In this position, the fingers should be all exercise.
