As illustrated in the image, place both of your hands horizontally just below your lower lash line and on top of your cheekbones. Press your hands on the surface of the skin, holding the muscles in place. Then squeeze the cheeks up toward your eyes, while squinting your eyes, making a squishy sour face. Hold for five counts then repeat three to five times.

Exercise 2: All-over face tone

Put your hands in a flat fist, squeezing every muscle in your face, squinting your eyes, puckering your lips and tucking your chin to your chest. Keep your arms and elbows tucked, holding this for five counts. Alternate with the opposite exercise of expansion instead of contraction. Then, release your platform, lift your eyes up, arch your eyebrows up, open your mouth wide and slightly lift off your chin. Holding for five counts. Repeat both of these movements three to five times each. 

 

Exercise 3: Jawline defined

Place your hands together in a flat fist. Then put your tongue on the roof of your mouth with your lips closed, while tucking your chin to your chest. Repeat this exercise for five counts, holding on the fifth count for five additional counts.

6 Great Exercises for Smoothing and Tightening Your Face

When we hear the term "facelift," most of us think of a painful medical procedure that involves surgery and some recovery time. Many women and men get a facelift to give them that youthful glow back, but you really don't need to go under the knife to get these results. By carrying out the following 6 stretching exercises, called "Facial Yoga," you can make yourself look youthful again without any painful procedures.

1. The brow lift 

Forehead wrinkles bother many people because they get deeper over the years and can make you seem angry. You can minimize these wrinkles and prevent the formation of new ones with the following simple exercise that stretches the muscles behind the skin and, in doing so, helps smooth it. 

 

How to: 

• Place the lower part of your right palm on your right eyebrow and the lower part of your left palm on your left eyebrow. 

• Lift the muscles of your eyebrows up with your palms, as if you’re surprised, and lower them back as if you’re angry. 

• Stretch your eyebrows up and down 10 times. When you come to the last time, hold your eyebrows up for 30 seconds. Lower your eyebrows, and hold them in this position for 30 seconds and relax. 

• Then repeat the exercise - 10 repetitions of raising and lowering and 30 seconds of release.

2. The filler 

Laughter lines are certainly charming, but not when they are deep, creating deep grooves on the sides of the lips. The next smiley exercise will help you fight fire with fire, and get rid of these laughter lines once and for all. 

 

How to:  

• Place your fingers on your cheeks and press lightly. 

• Smile widely and use your fingers to hold the smile in place by gently pressing on the cheeks. 

• Close your lips half-way and press your cheeks to create resistance. 

• Keep each position (full smile and half smile) for 10 seconds and release the stretch. Repeat the exercise 10 times.​ 

 

3. The neck lift  

Eventually, gravity catches up with all of us, and our neck skin starts sagging and wrinkling in a way no one wants to experience. This next stretch below will help prevent this from happening and also improve the appearance of the "double chin" that is common in older people. 

 

How to: 

• Lightly close your mouth. 

• Separate your upper and lower teeth as far as you can without opening your mouth. 

• Move your jawbone forward while stretching the lower lip, holding it in this position for 5 seconds.

• Slowly bring your jaw, lips, and teeth back to the original position. 

• Repeat the exercise 10 times. 

 

4. “Oh” face 

With the help of some exaggerated facial movements and sounds, you can stretch the area around your lips. Just pretend that you’re in a voice development class and that way you can benefit from this simple exercise two-fold. 

 

 How to: 

• Open your mouth and then press your lips together so that they’re closed but your upper and lower teeth aren’t touching. 

• Now say "Oh" with excessive stretching of the lips to create the sound. 

• Then say “eee" while stretching the lips back to half a smile. 

• Repeat these two sounds 10 times, relax your lips, and perform 3 total sets. 

 

5. The neck stretch  

This stretch will not only smooth out your neck skin but will also help relieve pain that many people experience in this area. You can do this stretch wherever you are, even sitting at home or at the office, and within a few moments you can get pain relief and rejuvenate your appearance.

How to: 

• Hold your chin against your chest until you feel a stretch in your neck. 

• Start lifting your head upwards in a circular motion. 

• As you move, bend your head back and look up at the ceiling. Hold your head in this position for a few seconds, and lower it back down in a slow circular motion. Repeat the exercise 10 times. 

 

6. The all-inclusive face life 

This last exercise is certainly entertaining, and although it seems funny, its results are serious. With this general facelift, you can stretch muscles in several areas of the face, strengthening them, improving the appearance of wrinkles and preventing the formation of new ones.

How to: 

• Place your palms above the cheekbones and place your fingers on your head. 

• Close your eyes and move your hands - palms and fingers - back and to the side. While doing so, stick out your tongue and stretch it forward and down as far as you can. 

• Stay in this position for 60 seconds and then release. 

• Repeat the exercise 3 times.
