Mimic are responsible for the expression of emotions and are not so active, why with age lose elasticity. Therefore, "unemployed" muscles are useful for training. Exercises for the face improve blood microcirculation, which increases the flow of nutrients to the tissues and the outflow of waste, and this helps to cope with swelling and lack of color. This gymnastics can saturate tissues with oxygen, so that skin care products after it will work much more effectively. The first author's complex of exercises for the face was developed in the 30s by an English ballerina. In 1978, her namesake Eva Fraser, struck by the smoothness and elasticity of the skin of a 76-year-old ballerina, began to take lessons from her, mastered the technique and supplemented her with new exercises. The basis of the technique is exercises for muscles around the eyes, muscles of the jaw and chin, cheeks, a complex for smoothing nasolabial folds and wrinkles between the eyebrows. The entire daily complex takes 10-15 minutes: there are not many exercises, but they do not tolerate haste! As well as in the big fitness, warm-up is necessary to warm up muscles and to make them more pliable and plastic. Effective exercises for the contour of the face will help you stay in shape every time.
Exercise for the eyes of Eva Fraser
Take a comfortable pose - standing or sitting. Lower and relax your shoulders, slightly open your lips, so as not to clench your jaw. Keep your head straight, look ahead. While remaining still, raise your eyes as high as possible and count to five. Then quickly lower your eyes and also count to five. Repeat the exercise three times.
Effect on face
One of the most effective and simple methods offered by American beautician Carole Maggio, she called her facercise, combining the words face - face - and exercise - exercise. The complex consists of 14 exercises, and its implementation takes about 11 minutes. Starting position: sitting with a straight back slightly lift your legs, so that the muscles of the front surface of the thighs tighten, squeeze the buttocks and draw in the stomach. And then go on to the exercises. Meggio pays special attention to the muscles that support the shape of the mouth.
Exercise for lips from Carol Maggio
Squeeze your lips, but do not squeeze them. The view should be something like you say to yourself: "I'm ready for this." Tighten the corners of the mouth, as if they are two pieces of lemon. Do not close your teeth and do not forget to follow the breath, it should be even. Slightly press the pads of the index fingers to the corners of the mouth. Lightly and quickly pulsating movements, just apply pressure on the skin. Continue the exercise until you feel a slight burning sensation in the corners of the mouth. Then, tighten the lips tightly and strongly blow to make the lips vibrate.
Start with breathing
A somewhat different technique was created by German plastic surgeon Reinhold Benz (Reinhold Benz) and called her "face building". He emphasizes the combination of dynamic and static exercises (as in bodybuilding): some work at the expense of the number of repetitions, others - due to the duration of the load. Benz suggests starting gymnastics with breathing exercises and further making sure that breathing is slow and deep. It enriches tissues with oxygen, improves blood circulation and metabolic processes.
Exercise for the neck muscles from Reinhold Benz
Exhale with a mouth, then vigorously, with a noise inhale the nose, again exhale through the mouth and repeat a noisy breath in your nose. Exercise should be performed on inspiration, and even better - with a delay in breathing. So, inhale and slowly tilt your head so that you feel tension under your chin. Slowly turn your head to the right and look over your shoulder up. Slightly open your mouth and push the lower jaw forward. Slowly return to the exhalation position. Do three repetitions in each direction. Even the smallest of our muscles is part of a single harmonious whole, which is a person. On this basis, perhaps, the most effective, but the most complex of all these methods is "face shaping". It was developed by Benita Cantieni (Benita Cantieni). She believes that "work on the face" should begin with the correction of posture, and then master the basics of meditation: learn to breathe properly, consciously breathe and focus attention on a certain part of the body. Exercises for posture, which offers Cantieni, restore blood circulation and relax the muscles of the neck. "Disorders of posture lead to spasms of vessels and muscles of the cervical spine, violations of venous and lymphatic outflow. This worsens the metabolic processes in the skin. " In addition, the author of the technique believes, one must train muscles ... around the ears. Around the auricle in the small cavities are energetically active points. Light pressure can activate them. Cantieni suggests that in the first three weeks, such stimulation be performed daily, for at least two minutes.
Correct posture from Benita Kantieni
Sit on the floor with your legs crossed, you can put a pillow under you. Try to sit exactly on the ischium bones. Pull up the spine, presenting it as a string of pearls: from the coccyx through the sacrum, the vertebrae, the upper back, the neck. Imagine that you are attached by this thread to the sky. Loose your shoulders slightly back and down and relax. Overcome the first reaction is not the word "relax" - the urge to soften and slip down: restoring relaxation is a straight, straightened back. Do not rush, listen to the feeling of elongation - internally like if you agree with the force of gravity, so that it does not put pressure on you. If you keep the nape straight, relaxed and free, you will feel like your head feels lighter. Imagine that it steams like a ball on a stream of a fountain - almost weightless and soft. Feel like a spine, and the back of the head becomes light, as the thorax croaks, and the shoulders fall freely. Muscles of the face, lower jaw, relax more and more. Slightly hangs his chin, the corners of his mouth relax. Nowhere to the very forehead does not remain any stress ... Such daily practice will gradually level the posture, improve well-being, mood and even complexion.
