Exercise to Look Younger

By Jen Hopkins

The support of facial muscles plays a vital part on the appearance of ones skin. With the presence of wrinkles and loose skins on the neck and throat area, it makes one appear much older than he/she is supposed to look. That is why facial exercises designed for the neck and throat area was developed to help the muscles remain smooth and firm to show a much younger looking skin.

Here are some suggested facial exercises that would benefit the neck and throat area. Read on the following instructions.

1. Sit upright and tilt the head back looking at the ceiling. Keep the lips closed and then start a chewing movement. Feel the muscles working in the neck and throat area and be amazed of the results. Do the procedure for 20 times.

2.Sit upright and tilt head back looking at the ceiling. Keep lips closed and relaxed. Start puckering the lips together in a kiss and stretch the kiss as if one is trying to kiss the ceiling. Keep the lips puckered for 10 counts. Bring the head back to its normal position and make 5 sets of the procedure.

3.Sit upright with head tilt back looking at the ceiling. Keep lips closed and relaxed. Open the lips and stuck the tongue out as if one is trying to touch the chin with the tips of the tongue. Keep tongue out in this position for 10 counts. Return the tongue and head to its normal position.

4. Lie on the bed with head hanging down over the edge. Slowly bring up the head up towards the torso and keep it there until the count of ten. Relax and lower the head towards the floor again. Repeat the procedure 5 times.

5.Sit upright and face forward while lips are together. Separate the teeth by dropping the jaw and then pushing the jaw forward. Keep for a count of 10. Bring back to starting position and do 5 sets for this procedure.

The chin, neck and throat area is difficult to treat. But with regular facial exercise, a smoother and firmer neck plus a compact chin will make one look years younger.
