Happy Friday!
Back to Chinese facial exercises.
The face shows so many emotions everyday. Joy, sorrow, anger, confusion, shock, bewilderment, seriousness, mundane, grief…and on and on. Our expressions communicate what we think and feel. Without expressions life would be pretty boring. Therefore the face should be treated with great care and gentleness.
Chinese facial exercises have been around for quite awhile. Many people believe that they are the non-surgical miracle to staying young. Yoga facial exercises classes are even all the rage at exercise clubs. They believe that your face will stay toned and firm by building up all the muscles in your face.
However, skin sags too. Building muscle under the skin will not stop skin from sagging. Plus you know all the expression lines we get from smiling or raising our foreheads, well it will only get worse if you perform these exercises multiple times a day. Chinese facial exercises tell you to hold all kinds of positions for 20sets three times a day… It is a great commitment that has to implemented into your daily exercise routine. And there is no clear evidence that it really works as an anti-aging treatment.
Making your face crease more sounds like it will only create more wrinkles. They are called expression lines for a reason. Besides the face is worked and toned everyday just by making everyday expressions! Relaxing the face more will help you to look younger and have less wrinkles.
What causes wrinkles? Gravity, the sun, and making expressions.
Exercise in general well help your skin and your overall body. It is known that exercising at least 3 days a week can add years to your life! Exercise does help blood circulation causing more oxygen to the skin, thus your skin will look more radiant. So body exercise not facial exercise is the secret to anti-aging!
Keep on smiling too! Smiling and laughing has to add a couple years on to your life, plus it makes everybody more beautiful!
Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mothers out there!
