Keeping the muscles on our body strong and firm requires exercise and the same applies to the muscles on the face. Certain expressions over use specific muscles, while others are not used much at all. This means they become weaker over time. So while we use the muscles on our face for a variety of expressions, if we want to maintain a youthful, healthy looking face, it is important to ensure that all of the facial muscles are strong, toned and lifted. Doing daily facial exercises allows you to strengthen the weaker muscles, giving the face a firmer, younger and more symmetrical look.

It is not a line that ages the face, but a sagging muscle. The Face Fitness routine is simple and is similar to resistance training. In the same way that you would workout your biceps to firm and enlarge them, facial exercise works out your facial muscles to increase strength, boost volume and lift and tone the muscles. This plumps up the skin, improves circulation and smooths out fine lines. The Face Fitness exercises work on the basis that the healthier and firmer the muscles are under the skin, the firmer and younger the skin looks. The best part is that this costs nothing and keeps your skin healthy and vital at every age.

The Face Fitness program helps to strengthen and firm the muscles on the face and neck. It also helps tighten the eyelids so they can look lifted, reduce fine lines and tone the skin around the jawline so it looks firmer. The overall impact is a younger, healthier looking face. So in other words you can give yourself a natural face lift with just a few exercises in just 10 minutes a day.

Absolutely! As we age we lose collagen and elastin, which causes the skin to wrinkle, droop and sag. The beauty of these exercises is that your facial muscles respond to exercise in the same way that the muscles on your body does. With exercise the body looks fitter, feels better and is generally healthier. The same principle applies to giving our face muscles a good workout. Improving muscle tone on the face is what helps us fight gravity. But beyond overcoming sagging skin, strengthening the facial muscles will plump up the skin; smooth out fine lines; firm the look of the face; and contour and sculpt the face. There are many benefits to building the FACE FITNESS exercises into a daily routine; the biggest of which is keeping our skin looking healthier and younger.

Face Fitness exercises and massage work all the skin’s layers—the epidermis (upper layer), dermis (middle layer) and the hypodermis (lower layer), but they also improve collagen production naturally, increase skin moisture levels and rejuvenate the texture of the skin.

If the exercises are done daily you should start to see results in around five days, however after a full month you will be able to see significant visible results. Of course anything new can be a bit of a challenge, but the trick is to concentrate on the muscles being exercised and relaxing everything else on the face. Your facial muscles will initially feel sore, much like the muscles on your body after a good workout. This is a daily practice that if built in to your daily routine can deliver genuine results.

While facial exercises strengthen the muscles, massage speeds up the lymphatic drainage system, which helps remove toxins and reduce dark circles. Massage increases circulation, which oxygenates the blood and enables more nutrients to be carried to the skin and muscles. As a result of this process the skin looks healthier and naturally glows from increased blood circulation.

We know that with exercise the body looks fitter, feels better and is generally healthier. The same principle applies to giving our facial muscles a good workout. Improving muscle tone on the face is what helps us fight gravity. But beyond overcoming sagging skin, strengthening the facial muscles will plump up the skin; smooth out fine lines; firm the look of the face; and contour and sculpt the face.

There is a huge difference between premature skin aging and aging. Counteracting premature skin aging is a process of de-stressing the skin from the inside out and the outside in so we can look our best at every age. Premature skin aging is brought on by stress – the stress we feel, lifestyle stressors and exposure to environmental stressors. With knowledge and know how anyone can counteract the skin stress that creates premature aging and take years off the face naturally. I show people how to do this with food, facial exercise, natural skincare, breathing and a variety of easy lifestyle changes that help to de-stress their skin and naturally age less. Whereas aging is the process of growing into ourselves so we can live our best life. To look our best, we need to feel our best and how we deal with the aging process is big part of that. My belief is that to live happily we need to age gratefully and gracefully. The physical body goes through many transitional phases in our lifetime and each phase has its own beauty, presenting us with an opportunity to understand and accept ourselves a little better. Waging war on wrinkles only creates more stress and less self acceptance. Wrinkles on the face tell both the story of our life and our lifestyle, but they should not define our value or how we see ourselves. Valuing the wisdom, clarity and self acceptance, that comes with life experience is the path to feeling peaceful and good in our own skin. This in turn keeps us looking our best, as when we feel good, we look good!

Face Fitness is a great way to help counteract premature aging as the program works to de-stress the skin so it ages less! Facial exercises and massage are one method I recommend to remove the impacts of skin stress so that the face looks younger and more vital and ages less, simply because it is stronger and healthier. It is also recommended by doctors and dermatologists as a means of increasing blood flow, carrying more nutrients to the skin and removing toxins, which keeps the facial muscles and the skin healthier and more vital. Face Fitness is part of a skincare book trilogy that includes Face Value (natural topical skincare treatments) and Face Food (recipes to feed and revitalise the skin). They all work together as a total natural solution to counteract premature aging and keep our skin looking younger and more vital as we age. This way we can naturally de-stress and age less.
