Most women today face a dilemma called skin aging. This is a natural transformation of the skin that can be prevented by a whole lot of ways. One of these means is known as facial exercises. Doing these exercises yield great results when they are done properly and regularly.

In preparation for the exercise, have your face moisturized. You can do this by rubbing a lubricant or mineral oil on your face or just by applying the moisturizer you use daily. You can also just splash your face with water if you want. Never ever start the exercise without moisturizing your face or when you have a dry skin.

In these facial exercises, five parts or areas of the face will be given attention to. These are the eye region, chin, neck area, scalp and mouth. Exercising these areas of the face will really make your skin look younger and firmer.

Muscles around the eye area

Look at the eyes of other people and you'll be able to notice whether or not their skin is healthy or aging. One way to improve the eye area most especially to those people who has insufficient sleep is based on the following steps: %u2022 Position your fingers on your temples and pull that area slightly toward the back. %u2022 Close your eyes, fingers still pressed on your temples. %u2022 Do this exercise for 25 to 50 times.

To obtain satisfying results, you can do this for two sets of 20 repetitions every day.

Chin Area

To exercise the chin, lift your lower lip and hold it for about 5 seconds. At this point, you will feel that your chin is slightly protruded upfront. After that pull your chin back, stretching the chin area. Do this exercise for two to three sets of 20 everyday. Always remember to keep your head straight while doing the exercise.

Scalp Area

This exercise is also a way to minimize the lines on your forehead and lighten up your face. You can do this exercise by raising your eyebrows and holding that position for approximately 2 -3 seconds. You will fill a slight stretch at the upper region of your face. Next, pull back your ear muscles and let the contraction feeling at the back of your forehead hold for about 2 - 3 seconds. By doing this exercise everyday for five minutes, your face will feel a lot lighter.

Mouth Region

To make your mouth look a lot fuller, you can exercise it by extending and contracting your mouth. All you need to do is put your index fingers inside your mouth and pull it about a quarter to about 3/8 inch and hold it for about 2 to 3 seconds. Make sure that your hands are clean before doing this or else you'll have problems with bacteria too. After holding your mouth in that position, contract you lips in such a way that the fingers inside your mouth touch each other. Repeat this step 25 to 50 times.

Neck Region

The main problem with skin aging at the neck is the appearance of loose skin in front of the neck. To prevent this from happening, tilt your head backward and make sure that your chin is slightly pointing to the upward direction. Place your tongue at the top area of your mouth and stay in that position for a while. After 2 to 3 seconds, put down your chin with your tongue still placed at the top of your mouth. You can have2 sets having 20 repetitions per day to obtain a better result.
