Facial firming exercise forehead fold remover
sit in a firm chair, and place both hands together side by side, so the pinky’s touch. Place the fingers on your forehead over your eyebrows. Be sure your pinkys are together on the spot between your eyebrows. A little pressure on this area, and you are also hitting an important acupressure point that help to release tension int he forehead. Using your fingers as resistance use your forehead muscles to push the fingers up, doing a forehead push up. Focus on using your fingers as a counter weight, and keeping a bit of pressure on the center of brows with pinkys. Continue pushing up completing 10 repetitions, now hold your brows up and do 20 mini push ups so that you feel a band of tension across the forehead.
Do 2 times a day for the most effect.
This will firm the underlying muscles for the forehead and improve its appearance in a matter of days, not weeks.
Its important to remember also, that a good diet is important to beautiful skin. It is also important when doing any kind of exercise even facial ones, because, when you are following a healthy diet your cell turnover improves. The faster you cells are replaced the better your skin will look. Another way to improve sell turnover is to include in exfoliating, toning and moisturizing to your regular skin care routine. One of my favorite tips is sugar, regular table sugar is a wonderful additive to your regular cleanser to create an exfoliant. Wash your face as you normally would, then add a tsp of sugar to your palm along with a dollop of your cleanser and gently scrub your skin. Glycolic acid is a popular ingredient in many anti aging potions, and is the main component of sugar.
I have been studying a number of different facial workouts, Carole Maggio’s is my favorite. A great additional benefit to facial exercises is that you can control your facial muscles, and are more aware of them. After a few workouts, you will actually consciously feel the tension in four face and relax it.
