Natural Face Lift Exercise
Exercising the muscles in the face is an alternative to invasive face lifts. A variety of exercises stretch, strengthen and increase blood flow to the face. Referred to by some as “yoga for the face,” the exercises are beneficial in helping a person keep a youthful appearance. Benefits include decreasing wrinkles and sagging skin. Practice exercises in front of a mirror one to two times a day. According to Patricia Goroway, author of “Facial Fitness,” consistency is the key to seeing long-term results.
