Facial exercise

[LegoPiecesEverywhere]

I have noticed I am becoming very jowly. I have seen facial exercise online that I am going to try. Anyone have any success stories?

Add a link please and we could try them with you.

I always wonder with facial exercise...won't it make wrinkles deepen? Like, I see people doing these wide, weird smiles they have to hold for so many seconds, but won't contorting your face repetitively like that make smile lines and eye wrinkles form and set?

Genuinely curious, because I'd love to give it a go too, but worried it might have the opposite effect

I've just started doing them at 30. My unscientific sample of their success is my mum who has been doing them for 30 years and has amazing skin!

Also, makes my face ache slightly in a 'muscular' way so must be working some muscles that I didn't know I had!

Penny - I think the idea is that the exercises strengthen the muscles that actually hold your face and neck up. It's the sagging and drooping that's really ageing, not fine lines around the eyes etc.

A real giveaway to a person's age is to look at the corners of the mouth. That's where the jowliness starts! I am determined to start with facial exercises this year, just don't really know where to begin.

I’ve been doing them for 6 years starting at 48 - first Eva Fraser and now I mix them with ageless if you dare. Google daily mail articles on them for free examples. The first Eva exercise i ever did - It’s a free video on her website as well as on DM -,really blitzed my early jowls. They cause temporary wrinkles that originally worried me but they go after a few minutes. My wrinkles are certainly no worse after 6 years. And my skin is stronger, thicker and more lifted.

Interested..

Here you go - all are good but the Jowl buster is the one DM called ‘les Dawson’. It’s actually called the lower facelift in Eva books:

And here’s article on ageless if you dare: www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3541459/amp/Smoker-53-ditches-anti-ageing-creams-favour-DIY-facelift.html

Do you do them every day ohee? Impressive dedication to stick at it for 6 years. I did buy the book and started it but then gave up

Hi Cinammon, not every day but most days - 4 to 5 a week. Though I’m sure that less than that would still help

Thanks Ohee will give them a go. I had started face yoga method from YouTube

Posted too soon.... but it is early days. I am worried about doing them incorrectly and causing more wrinkles.

Hi Lego why’ve don’t you just start with one - Eva fraser’sclower facelift exercise (it’s a free video on her website) and it’s the one described in that daily mail article as the les Dawson (cos you kind of pull a funny face). It will help jowls and doesn’t cause wrinkles - and you can’t really do it wrong. Do it for a month or so - that’s the one i started with and it made a huge difference to plumping cheeks and tightening jowls. And I really didn’t know what I was doing as I was just going on a brief description I read somewhere- I only discovered the video later. If all goes well you can then add others.
