Wrinkle Reducing Workouts

To firm up your brow, place your index finger just above your eyes and pull it down while trying to lift your eyebrows. For your eyes and crow’s feet , lift your lower eyelids without moving your upper ones. This takes some practice so don’t feel bad if you don’t get it right the first time. It’s also possible to repair wrinkled cheeks by pushing the lips out and making a round shape then stretching forward. You then smile as wide as you can for a couple of seconds, after which you let it return to its original shape. Place your two index fingers together in the middle between your eyebrows. Place your thumbs lightly around your outer-eye corners. Tightly squeeze your eyes shut while pulling your two index fingers and pulling your thumbs out towards the top of your ears at the same time. Keep your eyes closed tightly. Keep pulling up and out with your fingers so the muscles around your eyes are always working against the pressure.

For best results do each workout ten times a day, twice a day and incorporating it into your daily routine. It may take a few weeks to see a noticeable difference but be consistent.

How To Prevent Wrinkles

Under eye wrinkles are also caused by stressful activities. The first and perhaps most obvious is to avoid stressful situations and learn ways to remain calm and control stress. Sometimes this may be difficult to do. Especially if you have a very stressful job for instance. You cannot avoid your work or quit your job. Therefore you will have to find ways to calm and control the stress. This can be done through meditation and yoga. It may take a lot of practice but in the long run it will be worth it.

The idea behind yoga and meditation is to bring your inner and outer body into a relaxed state. When you are in relaxed you will not be prone to furrow your brow which will crease and then over time produce a wrinkle. Sometimes taking deep breaths and counting to 10 or 20 is all that is needed to be calm.

Take notice of all the times you frown and are stressed out. The next time you notice yourself doing this STOP and give yourself a face massage.

Do it, what have you got to lose?
