Make Your Eyes Sparkle

Do you like this post?

The eyes are the center of muscle activity in the face and are surrounded by a layer of muscle, the orbicularis occuli that contracts inwards to close and protect them.

These eye muscles can become flaccid, allowing the skin around the eyes to droop, so the eyes appear slit-like.

Use this exercise to give emphasis to the lids and stimulate the tiny muscles that open the lids wide so your eyes will look bigger and more defined.

  Place your index fingers under the brow bones.
Press gently and upwards, to provide resistance as you slowly close your lids tight.

Hold for ten seconds, relax and repeat five times.

Do this once a day

The development of the eye muscles influences the way that most of the other facial muscles interact to produce facial expressions.
