Due to thin and sensitive skin, anti-wrinkle exercises around the eyes are performed more carefully than for other facial muscles. It is useful to use a nourishing cream or oil (peach or almond).

Exercises against "crow's feet"

Small wrinkles, near the outer corner of the eyes, are popularly called "crow's feet". There are many reasons for their appearance. These are bad habits, lack of water in the body, prolonged exposure to the sun without sunglasses, and much more.

Wrinkles and flabbiness of the skin appear at a young age when smoking, due to a decrease in collagen production. Passive smoking is also dangerous for the skin.

Nose exercises

With age, the tip of the nose expands and it sinks down. To shorten it and make it narrower, the following exercise is performed.

With age, a nasolabial fold appears, which does not decorate the face. It is located from the wings of the nose to the corners of the lips. To smooth it out, the following exercise is performed.

Wrinkles are sharply defined folds on the skin, which are formed due to a loss of firmness and elasticity of the skin.

There are the following reasons for the formation of wrinkles on the face:

Previously transferred diseases of the nervous, endocrine, reproductive systems, as well as various gastrointestinal diseases can significantly weaken the immune system and cause a decrease in skin elasticity.

In addition, the situation is even more complicated when a person has severe chronic diseases.

All kinds of hormonal disorders in the body.
Prolonged exposure to the sun dries out the skin and thins its protective layer (exposure to ultraviolet rays always negatively affects the skin). Because of this, the epidermis loses moisture and becomes more prone to wrinkling of the skin.
Smoking reduces the production of elastin, causing the skin to age prematurely. Moreover, people who smoke have a grayish complexion.
Prolonged exposure to the wind or in smoky rooms (the so-called passive smoking is considered no less dangerous than traditional smoke inhalation when smoking a cigarette).
The appearance of wrinkles as a direct consequence of aging. From around the age of forty, the skin begins to rapidly lose moisture and elasticity. It becomes thinner, which is why people have the first deep wrinkles.
Insufficient care of the skin of the face and neck leads to a lack of vitamins, nutrition and respect for the epidermis. This certainly affects the general condition of the skin of the face.
Excessive application of dense decorative cosmetics dries out the skin, which creates all the conditions for the formation of wrinkles. The most dangerous types of cosmetics are powder, foundation and various correctors. They clog pores and cause moisture loss from the skin.
Sharp weight loss.
Eating a diet that is too restrictive, because of which the body does not receive enough nutrients. This can significantly affect the condition of the skin.
Living in poor environmental conditions affects the general condition of the whole organism and skin as well.
Insufficient fluid intake leads to rapid loss of moisture and drying of the skin.
Unhealthy lifestyle and frequent drinking.
Chronic overwork and lack of sleep.
Excessively active facial expressions contribute to the frequent contraction of the muscles of the face, which is why a person first has small, and then deeper wrinkles.

Facial wrinkles are a clear disadvantage for both men and women, so they are looking for all sorts of solutions to this problem.

A fairly effective technique in this case is considered to be special gymnastics for the face and neck from wrinkles. It has its own characteristics and types. Let's consider them in more detail.

When performing exercises for the muscles of the face against wrinkles, you need to remember that you can not give a big load on the muscles of the face and neck at once. If exercises for the face from wrinkles are done for the first time, for several days you can only do 10 visits of each exercise. And only after this period additional repetitions are added in gymnastics.

Their appearance is not always due to poor performance, often certain defects are too resistant to procedures. In this case, it is recommended to pay the most attention to the problem area, not forgetting about gymnastics for other parts of the face.

As concomitant procedures to increase the effectiveness of gymnastics, it will not be superfluous to conduct sessions for applying moisturizing masks. To increase the tone and elasticity of the muscles and skin of the face, it is necessary to drink up to two liters of water daily, and exclude high-calorie, fatty and overcooked foods from the diet.

Subject to the basic recommendations, anti-wrinkle exercises on the face help restore skin firmness and elasticity, refresh the complexion and give it lost contours. Bags under the eyes and other signs of puffiness will dissolve as a result of the acceleration of blood circulation and improvement of local metabolism. A few extra years that appeared along with unwanted wrinkles will go away, leaving behind a radiant appearance and youth.

Gymnastics for the face helps to get rid of wrinkles, tighten the contour and the second chin that has appeared.

♦ USEFUL TIPS FOR BEGINNERS

So, why does facial gymnastics against wrinkles and other age-related changes help us look 5-10 years younger? The fact is that with age, the contours of the face gradually fall and the skin becomes flabby, as the facial muscles begin to lose their tone, deform and decrease in volume. And the main reason for the formation of a double chin lies not at all in the appearance of excess weight, but in the weakening of the chin and neck muscles.

Weakened muscles in the nose visually increase its volume, and sagging of the eye muscles contributes to the formation of a hernia, which grows and ugly bags appear under the eyes. In order to successfully fight these age-related changes, it is useful to strengthen the facial muscles (as, indeed, all the muscles in the gym, fitness center or at home).

With the help of a specially designed set of face-building exercises, we will stimulate the activity of facial, chewing, and neck muscles in order to strengthen them and significantly improve the appearance without plastic surgery. And most importantly, facial gymnastics helps to fight the causes of age-related changes (and not the consequences, like endless surgical lifts), which provides a long-lasting lifting effect.

As we mentioned above, for a quick and maximum anti-aging effect, it is useful to organize comprehensive facial skin care at home. Use nourishing eye creams , natural masks , moisturizing eye gels , rejuvenating serums suitable for your skin type . Alternate face building courses with home facial massage using tablespoons or teaspoons, vacuum jars, manual impact with fingertips and honey. We also recommend taking a couple of classes with a professional with lymphatic drainage or point shiatsu. But before proceeding to self-execution of massage exercises, be sure to consult a doctor.
