Looking in the mirror can be absolutely devastating when you see an old face looking back at you. When did the sagging start and how can it be stopped?
Sagging, droopy faces usually begin after the age of twenty-five. At first you may not see the skin loosening, but if you look closely at your face, bending over from the waist, peering into a mirror that is positioned flat on a surface, you will see how those tiny, hidden muscles are losing their tone. As you mature the facial muscles will continue to elongate accentuating the look of old. Did you know that the skin in the face attaches directly to the muscles so when the muscles soften and lengthen, your skin follows the downward motion?
The result of elongating muscles and skin shows in your face as hooded eyelids, falling eyebrows, crow’s feet, a horizontally lined forehead, the 11’s between your brows, sagging cheeks, downturned mouth corners, jowls, pouches, a compromised jaw line and even a double chin. Wearing droopy features makes one look years older sapping your confidence and self-esteem. If this happens to you, you may not want to creatively style your hair, wear lipstick or trendy clothes, and you just might give in to not caring about yourself as much as you did in years past.
Looking your best has never been easier and when you use facial exercise to turn back the clock, you save money and you never have to put your face, your good looks, or your health at risk. Exercise is natural and safe. Once you learn the secret techniques of isolating, anchoring, and contracting the muscles and muscle groups, you will confidently understand that your face will never need be subjected to needles, scalpels, or sutures.
Using natural techniques makes perfect sense; after all, we’ve seen Hollywood stars and celebrities sport misshapen, disturbing facial images, and we’ve read the horror stories and even secretly scoffed at those who think we didn’t notice that their faces had been tweaked by paralyzing and plumping serums. We do notice those overinflated cheeks, squinty eyes, dimpled chins, bunny lines, and the paralyzed features.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting a younger-looking, prettier face, but if you are considering expensive, temporary, and unnatural modalities, think about this: celebrities have more money than a lot of us and we see how unfortunate their results have been. Even with the best results you will never look like you again.
You certainly will want to choose a board-certified doctor that consistently is praised for their great work and even then you never know when something unexpected might occur. Perhaps you have a hidden medical condition that would prevent you from enjoying a successful procedure or maybe you’re too old to undergo a surgery that stresses your health. After all, the older you are, the risk factors increase.
Elevated blood pressure and heart disease are two factors that make elective surgery unsuitable. Surgery is stressful on the body so if you’re over the age of fifty, noninvasive methods like exercise are extremely beneficial for your continuing good health and preservation of your good looks.
Spending thousands of dollars on temporary fixes may not appeal to you. Just because you choose injections that plump and paralyze or use surgery in hopes of staving off the effects of aging, you must consider that these procedures require maintenance. This means you are regularly scheduling time with the doc and that costs money.
Using facial exercise is much simpler, and in the long run you most likely will be miles ahead in the looks department because you will look like you did in years past and your friends and family will easily recognize you. The good news is this: you will look substantially younger than those around you. It just makes sense—your face, like your body, loves/craves/demands/enjoys exercise. Noted anti-aging guru, Jackie Silver, author of Aging Backwards: Secrets to Staying Young, asserts that exercise is the fountain of youth. She’s right, you know. From yoga to Pilates, karate to weight lifting, bicycling, walking, etc., our bodies benefit in a multitude of ways when we adhere to an exercise regimen. We look good and we feel better.
