Facial Exercises
Facial exercises do nothing good for your face.
When you exercise muscles, you move them, but it's the movement
of those muscles that caused your wrinkles in the first place.
Squinting for decades causes crow's feet. Scowling for decades
causes those vertical lines between your eyebrows. Raising your
eyebrows causes the horizontal lines in your forehead. If
you exercise those facial muscles, you'll just make your facial
lines worse.
Many of the wrinkles are caused by changes in the skin: loss of
elasticity, thinning of the skin, the changes of sun damage.
Those changes have nothing to do with muscle function; they are
caused by time, heredity, and sun exposure.
"Toning" the facial muscles won't help, and facial exercises
don't "tone" the facial muscles, anyway. No amount of exercise will
tighten your neck.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. But while I'm at it, electrical
stimulation, acupressure, and magnets also will not rejuvenate your
face.
