1. Forehead Smoother

In this exercise, acupressure is used to remove tension at key points in your forehead. This relaxing movement will help prevent wrinkles and smooth any persistent forehead lines.ย 

Steps:

  1. Make fists and place them on your forehead.
  2. Apply pressure using your middle and index finger knuckles.
  3. Maintain pressure as you slowly slide your fists to either side.
  4. End at your temples, gently applying more pressure.
  5. Repeat four times.

2. Jaw Stretch

Weโ€™ve all been thereโ€ฆ trying to flex the jaw, so we get that definition. However, by tightening your jawline with this neck firming exercise, you can prevent fine lines, trim up any unwanted fat in the jaw, and firm up a double chin!ย 

Steps:

  1. Pucker your lips to one side until you feel a stretch in your cheek.
  2. Turn your head to that side and lift at a 45 degrees angle.
  3. Hold for 3 seconds to feel the stretch in your neck.
  4. Repeat once, and then switch to the other side.

3. Cheek Plumper

If your face is tired or lackluster, the cheeks are the first place where it will show. Work the muscles in your cheeks upward and push against your skin’s natural gravity to give them a more lifted and plumper appearance.
