How to restore elasticity to the cheeks? There are just magic points on our face! The condition and correct location of the skin of the cheeks between these points determines their tone and shape. We bring to your attention a simple technique for facial rejuvenation. These exercises can be done lying down, standing, sitting, or even standing upside down. In each position, the muscles of the cheeks are worked out differently.
As a result of this practice, the cheeks become smooth and elastic, which gives the whole face the charm of youth and health. If your cheeks were tissue pinned to the bones of your skull, there would be only four pins at four points.
4 points on the face to tone the skin of the cheeks
Lie on the floor on your back, bend your knees and relax. If your cheeks were tissue pinned to the bones of your skull, then it would turn out that there are only four pins that are located at four points: one of them is on the outside of the temple, the other is just below the inner corner of the eye, the third is in the lower corner of the jaw bones, and the fourth - just above the upper lip.
Remember where these points are located. These are the most important "geographical points" on your face's "locality" map. When you lie on the floor, try to remember exactly where these points are located. The condition and correct location of the skin of the cheeks between these points determines their tone and shape.
Relaxing the cheeks
1. Turn your head to the right to a comfortable position. Thus, the left cheekbone will be in the highest possible position.
2. Concentrate on the highest point of the cheekbone, imagining that it is soft and relaxed, that the skin that covers it is very smooth, that the cheek is a sand dune on the seashore, it literally melts under the sun's rays in the warm summer wind. Gently relax this cheek, watching how the tension "slides" down the cheek to its lowest point.
3. While doing all this, take a deep breath and count to 10, and then slowly exhale the air.
4. Slowly turn your head to the right, then to the left. Remember what a relaxed cheek should be. Constantly compare the sensations that you experience while working with the right and left cheeks.
5. Now turn your head to the left and repeat the relaxation session with the other (right) cheek. Pay special attention to the area near the corner of the mouth. At the same time, make sure not to bite your cheek from the inside and keep your tongue straight. While in this position, pay attention to your sensations on the other side of the face, which is lying on the floor, watch how it begins to sag more and more towards the floor (like an empty bag). When you learn how to properly perform this relaxation exercise, you can easily isolate the movements of the muscles on different sides of the face and tone them.
Alternating cheek tension
Stay in the same relaxed position. The head is turned to the left. Now relax your shoulders and neck.
1. Watch both cheeks at once. Try contracting the cheek muscles on one (right) side while relaxing the same muscles on the other (left) side. In this case, the side on which the muscles contract should be on top. Your task is to pull it up due to muscle contraction and thus prevent the cheek from sagging.
If you find it difficult to tense the muscles on one cheek, imagine that you are biting the inside of that cheek. However, you certainly don't have to do it for real. The sensation should be about the same, but much less intense. If your cheek sags severely in this position, you may experience more intense sensations. Use your hand to support your cheek without letting it sag, feel your cheek tense as you contract the muscles, pulling your cheek up/as it becomes tighter and firmer under your palm.
Do as many contractions as you can. Work until you feel tired, which usually appears after doing 30-50 movements.
2. When you feel that the muscles are tired, make sure that the breathing becomes deeper. This will give you the energy to make a few more moves.
3. Finish the exercise by accelerating the movements to such an extent that they become very short, but at the same time very fast, so that the cheek just “wants” to remain in such a raised position.
4. Repeat the exercise with the other cheek. Do the same number of repetitions, although if you feel that some cheek needs more work, you can work with it more. Do not forget that you must constantly monitor your breathing and relax before you start working on the other cheek.
Make sure to engage both cheeks and keep one cheek relaxed while the other actively works. You work with the cheek that is at the top, and tone the muscles on that side.
We contract the muscles of the cheeks
The contraction of the muscles on the cheeks in this exercise is similar to what you did in the previous one, but the movement is more intense. You can do this exercise lying down, standing, sitting, or even standing upside down. In each position, the muscles of the cheeks are worked out differently.
It follows from this that each time you need to perform the exercise in a different position. This will help strengthen your cheek muscles much faster than if you constantly work in the same position. A change in body position will also affect the whole body in different ways during the exercise. In addition, it will be more interesting to practice if you work out the muscles of the cheeks in a different position each time.
In this position, you contract the cheek muscles in such a way that they affect all four main points that you see in the first picture. Contract your muscles gradually for a count of eight.
1. Contract your cheek muscles and hold them there for a count of eight.
2. Gradually release the muscles. Count to eight again.
3. Relax your cheek muscles completely and hold them in this relaxed state for a count of eight. To get a feel for how you should feel when your muscles contract, try to imagine how an invisible force pulls your cheeks in four directions at once to each of the four control points. Place your fingers simultaneously on each of these points, using both hands for this. Do not press your fingers on the skin. The fingers are there to simply indicate where the cheek is being stretched.
4. Perform the exercise on the other side. When you learn how to properly perform contractions on one cheek, try contracting the muscles of both cheeks at the same time without using your hands.
