- Acupressure is one technique that helps with facial wrinkles by toning the muscles in the face. An example of a acupressure exercise is a simple eye toning that includes pressure points about a 1/4 of an inch out from the outside corner of the eye and at the top of the cheek bone right below the eye. These are pressed for a couple of seconds, released, and then pressed again for 30 seconds. There are many different points, and acupressurist can help you set up a program.
- Other exercises involve moving the muscles to keep them toned. Firm your fforehead by pressing your index fingers to it and pulling down on the skin. At the same time raise your forehead muscles in an attempt to work against the downward force. Do this 10 times. Tone cheeks by pushing your lips out and into a O shape. Next smile wide, hold for a moment, and return to the original position. This is also done 10 times. For wrinkles around your mouth, make an O shape while covering the teeth with the lips. Then smile wide while holding your lips tense. Go back to the original position and repeat.
- The main issue with doing exercises instead of having a face lift is remembering to do them. These exercises need to be practiced at least twice a day every day for about five or 10 minutes. If they aren't kept up, they will not do any good. These are techniques that must be done continuously to see results.
