The idea of exercising your face may seem strange but, as thousands of people are discovering, it is the most reliable way to keep or rejuvenate your facial looks. Whether you are eighteen or eighty you can look and feel better with facial exercise.

There are sixteen major groups of muscles that influence how the face looks and these muscles are just like any other muscles in your body. As we age they lose tone and volume because the normal range of exercise that they perform in day to day life, like eating, smiling and facial expression is not enough to keep them from deteriorating.

Simple toning exercises can help to firm the contours of the face and prevent or reduce the visible signs of aging that inevitably take their toll as the years pass by. Another benefit of exercising the facial muscles is better skin quality. Exercise stimulates blood flow in the muscles and surrounding tissues, so the skin receives a better supply of regenerating blood. See how your face glows with vitality after only a few minutes of exercising.

I don't, however, want you to get the idea that exercising the face should be done aggressively or with great force. The facial muscles are not designed to work in that way. Just perform the techniques exactly as described and you will get most benefit. For the type of muscle toning we are aiming for there is no need to overwork the muscles - more is not necessarilly better for this type of exercise.

This short book is intended as an introduction to facial exercise and as such will enable you to tone and revitalise some of the main muscle groups of your face. I have chosen them because they include the most common problem areas of facial aging.

I have been involved in the science of facial exercise and rejuvenation for over thirty years, long before the cosmetic benefits of exercising the face became fashionable. Cosequently I have discovered a lot about how the facial muscles affect facial appearance. So, if you enjoy this little facial-renewal apetizer then I suggest that you get a copy of my best selling book The Ultimate Natural Facelift, to learn how you can achieve really dramatic anti-aging changes to your facial appearance.
