Facial Exercises for Lips

August 15, 2011 by Natalie Taylor

I think of all the lines that may appear on the face, lip lines can be the most noticeable and aggravating. I always remember as a child being fascinated by my grandmother’s mouth as her lipstick would “bleed” in tiny rivers down the deep lip lines she had. Had she known about facial exercises for lips and wrinkles, it might have been a different story! Although she seemed ancient to me at the time, the truth was she was probably only around 50.
Compared to women, men seem to suffer much less from these aggravating wrinkles. This is probably because they have much thicker skin round the mouth as it is bolstered up with hair follicles.
There is no doubt in my mind that smoking makes lip lines significantly worse. I have two friends who continue to smoke in their 50s, and both of them have extremely deep lip wrinkles. Therefore, if you are a woman who smokes and you want to use facial exercises for lips, to see results it is imperitive to stop smoking! I do not say this light-heartedly, as I was a smoker myself for more than 20 years. I finally managed to stop at the age of 34 (I started when I was 11) and it took three years of trying before I managed to quit. At that time I did not have any concerns about the aging aspect of my face, but within a very short time I was amazed at the improvement to my skin. For anyone who is struggling to stop smoking I wholeheartedly recommend Allen Carr’s “Easy Way to Stop Smoking.”  (See link at the end of this article).
Facial Exercises for Lips
Inspite of my years of smoking, I have found the area around my mouth has responded very well to facial exercise, and I have only a few very fine lines around the mouth.
I recommend the following two facial exercises for lips to reduce annoying lip lines and wrinkles.

Lip Press

Deborah Crowley’s excellent FlexEffect Facial Training has several effective exercises to strengthen the orbicularis oris, which is the muscle that circles the entire mouth.
The lip press is a very simple, but powerful.
Wrap you lips over your teeth, and bite down. Move your mouth from side-to-side, as you press your lips together as though blotting. While you should not bite hard enough to cause pain, you should exert enough pressure to almost cause mild discomfort. Temporary results can be seen instantly, and after a week a two, you should see a permanant reduction in the severity of your lip lines.
This exercise has the additional advantage that is “hands off” and can be performed anywhere. Like other hands-off exercises, I often do it when driving.

Lip Curl

The lip curl is a great exercise from Louise Annette’s “Ageless If We Dare” book.
To do the lip curl, place the three middle fingers of your dominate hand just above your top lip. The middle finger should be resting in the grove from your nose, and the other fingers can be placed at any point on either side. Press down firmly, and against the resistanceof your fingers, try to curl you upper lip outward in a fish-like pout, aiming to touch it to the tip of your nose.
For those who wish to give up smoking which will reduce lip lines more than anything else you can do:

Do Facial Exercises Work?

August 13, 2011 by Natalie Taylor

Understandably, a common question often asked by people looking for help before they spend their hard-
earned cash on a facial exercise program, is “Do facial exercises work?”
When deciding if exercising the face really works, there are several factors to consider. Firstly, let’s take a look at what the facial fitness experts say.
Deborah Crowley, who developed her FlexEffect program in the late seventies, insists that exercising the face “is not a magic bullet.” Deborah goes on to say that although face exercise won’t put every defect right, everyone,Do facial exercises work? regardless of age, will benefit to some extent from facial fitness workouts. She suggest the people who gain most from facial building are those like herself, who start out early. She started exercising her own face after it became gaunt due to competitive body-building. She found that using resistance exercises on her face added fullness and a more youthful look.
Louise Annette, author of Ageless If We Dare, used a variety of face exercises on and off without having exceptional results, which led her to develop her own program. Her “Ageless if We Dare” book is currently unavailable, but at the time of writing Louise is working on a new program which hopefully will be ready by the time you read this. If Louise’s “before and afters” are anything to go by, it is evident facial exercising does work; but some trial and error until you discover the right face exercise program may be involved.
Cynthia Rowland, owner of Rejenuve, and creator of  “Facial Magic” is emphatic in claiming non-surgical face exercises really work, but only of genuine help when all parts of the face are exercised, as opposed to trying to spot correct the parts of the face you feel are most needy.
