Kremlin aerobics for the muscles of the skin and face

In this chapter, I will tell you what to do so that at any age your face is fresh, well-groomed, so that your features do not blur, your skin is stretched, your eyes shine and shadows do not lie under them and grayish bags do not hang, so that your cheeks retain a pleasant roundness , lips - plumpness and juiciness. In a word, I will give you recipes, applying which you will become the real masters of time.

Are you hoping for the help of expensive creams? Do you think that the more you pay for a branded jar, the better the results will be? And why would they be better? Do you know where wrinkles and wrinkles form? Do you think it's on the surface of the skin? By no means! The folds and grooves are too deep, so deep under the skin that no cream can get there. And even if he had, what would it have been? Cream is a lubricant. Wrinkles are breaks in our tissues that occur in the deep layers. Is it possible to fill fractures with grease? Try to take a piece of ... meat. Cut it with a knife. Slightly spread the notched edges. Now brush on top with soft butter. Will the incision be removed? Not really! The oil will be absorbed into the meat, something will remain on top of a greasy film. But at the same time, the incision will remain! The example is rough, the analogy is weak, I know. But, nevertheless, basically everything is exactly like that. You won’t get rid of wrinkles with the help of a cream, no matter what cosmetologists inspire us, striving to sell another “revolutionary” drug. What then gives the cream? Moisturizing and anointing the upper layer of the skin - of course. Toning - yes. Antiseptic effect - yes. User satisfaction - yes. And, perhaps, everything. Creams can and should be used, but by definition they cannot give the effect that many people buy them for.

In the same way, masks, even branded ones, even homemade ones, will give little. All this is good, but it has its own limited range of action. Ask what to do then?

Let's proceed from the fact that our face is formed by ... muscles. In their youth, their tone is high, their condition is perfect. Over time, some of them stretch, the other dries out, they perform the function of a frame for the skin worse and worse. As a result, the face “hangs”, folds and wrinkles form on it, in some places it becomes a lot, in others - a little. The same thing as with the face happens with other parts of our body. In the same way, the stomach, buttocks, etc. sag over time. Do you know what to do so that the stomach does not sag? Right! You need to do gymnastics! Here is the same thing to do with the face.

Systematic training of facial muscles is the key to his youth, excellent skin condition, absence of wrinkles, bags under the eyes and puffiness.

Have you heard about miraculous devices like muscle stimulators? This is when you take a pair of electrodes, bring them to your face, and under their action an involuntary contraction of micromuscles begins, which results in an improvement in their tone and skin tone. Such devices are really effective, but much more effective if you do the gymnastics yourself. After all, doesn’t it seem unnatural to you, instead of independently putting your muscles into action, stimulating them with electrodes? But what if we do it ourselves?

Now you are holding in your hands a unique book that contains just such a program! We ourselves can force our muscles to come into action, begin to contract and stretch. Each person at any time convenient for himself can do gymnastics for the face! And the results, as they say, will be evident. I will give you instructions to follow to achieve the best results.

This program was run for three years by my friends who enrolled in my health school. How do they look now? As expected, they look great!

If you are interested in specifics, please (although I will tell you about some special cases later, they are painfully indicative; they ask to be told separately).

One lady, Alexandra D., came to class two years ago. She was 42 years old, she was preparing for an early menopause, she was in no mood, her face was grayish and lowered, or something. There are wrinkles around the eyes and lips, on the forehead and the bridge of the nose there are more serious wrinkles, a distinct double chin. And the eyes themselves are somehow faded, tired, tortured. (Even then I thought: it’s only good to sing about “love tired eyes” in a song; it’s unlikely that this will inspire someone in life.)

To her horror, Alexandra has recently begun to notice that young guys and (what is most unpleasant) girls, no, no, and even give her a place in public transport. She naturally took this as a signal of an impending disaster. And I decided to try to do something with myself. A friend of mine just told her about my school. Here Alexandra, without thinking twice, took the phone from that and signed up for a consultation. When she came to me, she told me that she had tried a bunch of all sorts of cosmetics, but they gave so little that her hands dropped. I gave her the Kremlin aerobics complex for the face (that's what I call this program, the history of which I will tell you a little later) and ordered ... to go home to clean up. She was very surprised, began to ask about simulators, special devices. I answered her in the spirit that, no matter how hard she tried, she was unlikely to be able to sip a barbell or dumbbell with the help of facial muscles - and even pedal some kind of exercise bike.

Each person always has with him the main tool for carrying out the necessary exercises - this is own muscles. They need to be trained. And it’s absolutely not necessary for such training to go to some special place (gym or gym), that’s the whole point.

Alexandra listened attentively to me, asked permission to come in the future for clarifications and consultations, and went to implement the program we had outlined. She did exercises on the muscles of the face and neck without fail in the morning and evening, and also tried to do them in any free time.

In three months, she achieved results that not every plastic surgeon would have given her.

Firstly, she has a 70 percent decrease in the depth of wrinkles and wrinkles. Naturally, something remains, but it is impossible to completely turn back time. You are adults, you should understand this.

Secondly, the tendency to the second chin has completely disappeared.

Thirdly, there is no trace of the emerging "brills" (this is when the cheeks sag on the sides of the chin).

Fourthly, puffiness under the eyes disappeared, the skin ceased to be edematous.

Fifthly, the complexion has improved - it has turned pink.

Sixth, the eyes came to life and began to glow.

In general, Alexandra began to look about a dozen years younger. That is, to be more precise, she turned into a clearly young, well-groomed, flourishing woman, whose age simply cannot be determined by eye. Something a little over 30 ... Something like that. The girls stopped giving her a seat in the transport, and began to look enviously at her. But the guys, on the contrary, became more active - but not out of respect for their age, but wanting to attract her attention. What happened to her next? Having achieved success in working with appearance, Alexandra did not stop there. She decided to take on her life and remake it completely for herself in accordance with her desires. Would you say fantasy? No, not at all.

A person can do a lot, it's just that he is either too lazy to use his abilities to the fullest, or does not know about them, or is shy, or all together. It doesn't matter. The main thing is that our potential is often unclaimed.

So, Alexandra finally decided to claim him and succeeded in this.

At 42, she was a divorced woman who worked from home as an accountant. Her twenty-year-old son had by that time begun to rent a room, and she was left alone with the cat, restless, boring to herself, aging.

Rejuvenated thanks to the Kremlin aerobics for the face, Alexandra cheered up. Within two years, she achieved the following:

✓ opened her own business (now she has a flower shop);

✓ passed on the rights;

✓ bought first one, then the second car;

✓ traveled abroad eight times (finally fulfilled her long-held dreams of seeing the world);

✓ met great man 5 years younger than himself (and he did not even know about this age difference, believing that Alexandra, on the contrary, was younger than him);

✓ gave birth to a daughter from him;

✓ moved with her daughter and cat to live with him in a cottage!

Is there a result? Still would! We sometimes call Alexandra on the phone, she reports to me about her new achievements. We have been talking on "you" for a long time. Following her, I had a bunch of her friends. Kremlin aerobics for the face helped everyone without exception (of course, everyone who systematically practiced it). Do not make an exception and you. Take control of your own age, your life - reshape it in accordance with your desires. Good luck!

Dear ladies! You will not find in my book those cosmetology terms that you might be used to on the packaging of creams or on consultations with cosmetologists. Excuse me for this. I see my task in telling you as simply as possible what to do with yourself in order to solve the tiring and tormenting issues of aging. We will not talk about the benefits of liposomes and their differences from nanospheres, although this is a very important topic. Just take with you and turn back time. Let's work on ourselves. Do you agree? Then go ahead.

Daily Kremlin aerobics for the muscles and skin of the face will allow you to:

✓ tighten the oval of the face;

✓ get rid of cosmetic problems such as enlarged pores, excessive fat formation, a tendency to acne, comedones, pigmentation;

✓ get rid of bags and circles under the eyes;

✓ reduce the number and depth of wrinkles and wrinkles by 70 percent or more;

✓ refresh complexion;

✓ tighten the skin on the neck;

✓ get rid of the second chin;

✓ refresh the mouth area, making the lips more plump and juicy;

✓ make cheeks more rounded;

✓ have a fresh, well-groomed appearance;

✓ Look at least 10 years younger than your age.

What gives aerobics for the face

From the synopsis of the Kremlin Masters.

On the face of a man there are fifty-seven various muscles. They provide the potential opportunity to give the face almost any shape, change it at will. You can “pump up” the muscles and increase some volumes. And you can provide such exercises to drive out of right places excess fat- and reduce volumes. Everything is in our hands, depends on our will and perseverance in achieving our goal.

With age, each person not only becomes wiser, but also changes greatly in appearance. You can tell from his appearance that he is not young. Sometimes even up to a year to determine the age. Particularly susceptible age-related changes women. This is due to the peculiarities of the hormonal system. Women age quickly "naturally", losing their attractiveness. Already after thirty years, the face begins to lose subcutaneous fat, as a result, by the age of fifty, many skin becomes dry and sagging. This is not surprising, because we usually use a limited number of muscles, smiling, crying or angry. Most of the muscles remain unused. Since the muscles of the face and neck work much less than all other muscles, the skin on them quickly loses its tone and color, sags and dries. With age, the mood or state in which a woman is most often imprinted on her face is imprinted. For example, she got used to being angry with her husband and children, and by the age of forty her face betrays emotions - her lips are angrily stretched, and a wrinkle has formed between her eyebrows. Frequent stress and fatigue create another “mask” on the face - the corners of the mouth are mournfully lowered and the eyebrows seem to hang over the eyes, from which tears are about to flow. The faces of optimistic and always benevolent women with age are decorated with “fun” wrinkles under the eyes and in the nasolabial folds. All this is the work of the muscles.

Aging occurs "naturally" - that is, when not all muscles are involved or those that work are only half-strength involved, etc. "Natural" aging can be prevented, slowed down, reversed by starting to purposefully give a load to the muscles of your face. The more they work, the more fresh and elastic the oval of the face will be, the less wrinkles and swelling, wrinkles and other dubious "decorations" will appear on it.

Look at yourself in the mirror, not trying to change your facial expression, but on the contrary, keeping it the way you usually walk, and tell me if it suits you. If not, then know that change is not only possible, but necessary. And special gymnastics will help in this, which we will call the Kremlin aerobics for the muscles and skin of the face, with the help of which you will learn how to control various muscles, and they will work for you. Firstly, the muscles will become more mobile and will not allow your negative emotions to “freeze” on your face in the form of stubborn folds and wrinkles. And secondly, with the help of muscles, you can act on wrinkles that have already formed, and on those that are still in the project, because the skin will become more elastic and able to restore its shape.

By engaging all the muscles of the face and neck, we will reverse the aging process of the skin. Moreover, with the help of facial gymnastics, many women manage to change the skin color from pale gray to peach, because the contraction and relaxation of the muscles in the face increases blood circulation. Gymnastics will even help correct congenital defects - too thin or, conversely, thick lips, a long nose or sunken eyes, a square chin, make scars and other skin defects invisible, in general - it will restore attractiveness and charm to the face. The secret is simple - the work of the muscles, which allows you to work wonders.

Once again I will sign what the Kremlin aerobics gives for the muscles and skin of the face:

1. Strengthens weakened muscle tone. The skin receives a more perfect frame and therefore becomes more elastic.

2. Eliminates traces of stress and tension.

3. Improves skin structure.

4. Improves skin color, giving the face freshness.

5. Enhances the brightness of the eyes.

6. Improves the oval of the face.

7. Smoothes wrinkles and prevents the appearance of new ones.

8. Returns a young and "lively" expression to the face.

9. Eliminates cosmetic skin problems - flabbiness, scars, acne, unwanted pigmentation, comedones, etc.

10. Allows you to improve facial features.

11. Normalizes the work of the sebaceous and sweat glands.

Rules for conducting special facial gymnastics

In principle, a set of Kremlin aerobics exercises for the face can be done anywhere and anytime. The main thing is that at the same time you should be comfortable and that oncoming people do not shy away from you when they see that you are grimacing. But you must strictly adhere to a number of rules:

✓ You can do exercises on the go only after you master the whole complex in front of the mirror. First you need to control everything to the smallest moments. Otherwise, you will pull some of the wrong muscles and hurt yourself.

✓ As soon as you decide to do mimic gymnastics, you should carry out exercises before any use of cosmetics - applying masks, creams, etc.

✓ Immediately before gymnastics, you can not apply cream on the skin of the face and neck so as not to close the sebaceous glands.

✓ It is better to do mimic gymnastics in a well-ventilated room or even on the street (ideally), the option is on the balcony. Never in a room where someone has smoked before.

✓ The neck should be free, no collars or scarves should pull it together.

✓ Ideal to complement gymnastics proper diet. The purpose of the Kremlin aerobics for the muscles and skin of the face is to strengthen the muscles of the face. Therefore, proteins must be constantly present in food - the building material for muscles. This means that you need to consume enough daily protein products: fish, eggs, meat, cheese, cottage cheese, legumes.

✓ In the work on your appearance, the right attitude is important. Start each day with the Inner Smile exercise. This will set the tone for your mood. And just before doing aerobic exercises for the face, say, smiling at yourself in the mirror, a special mood. It is an essential element of the course. After mimic gymnastics, the muscles should be allowed to calm down. Ideally, if you turn on calm music on the player, put on headphones and lie down relaxed for five minutes. It doesn't work - no problem. Just close your eyes, lean back while sitting on the back of a chair (or chair) and mentally slowly count up to 150. Then you can open your eyes and return to normal activities.

✓ After gymnastics, it is best to walk on the face with an ice cube. It can be ice from plain water, a weak decoction or infusion of chamomile, wild rose, horsetail, birch leaf, lingonberry. Then blot your face with a dry cloth (towel). Then apply a cream suitable for your skin type.

✓ Dear ladies! I know how difficult it is, and for some it is almost impossible. Still, I strongly recommend that you quit smoking if you smoke. Or at least halve the number of cigarettes you smoke per day. I cannot but repeat the truth: smoking worsens the complexion. Every cigarette you smoke causes a microspasm of cerebral vessels. This adversely affects all vital functions of the body. Try to give up the habit of swallowing smoke, no matter how long-term it may be with you.

Complexes of exercises of the Kremlin aerobics for the face

Now I will introduce you to different complexes Kremlin aerobic exercises.

LITTLE NUANCE. Keep in mind that, "sitting down" on the Kremlin aerobics, you need to know: this is a measure not localized in time, but for life. What does it mean? If, for example, you study for three months and achieve excellent results, and then abruptly interrupt classes, then after the next three months, deterioration will occur. What follows from this?

Having started to practice and having achieved the effect, you should not rest on your laurels. You need to keep practicing. Albeit with less intensity - but continue. Any gymnastics, and any diet works on the same principle. The results must be constantly maintained, you can not dissolve - otherwise everything will come to naught.

Now about the complexes. I advise everyone to start full complex No. 1 special exercises for the face and neck, which give a load on individual groups muscles. The exercises are easy. Check yourself on the first complex, see how it is for you, is it enough - or, on the contrary, you may feel that these exercises are too much for you. Do the exercises of the first complex for two weeks, at least twice a day - in the morning after sleep and in the evening before bedtime, for 10-15 minutes.

After two weeks, you can move on to complex number 2. It includes more specific exercises. We need just such a sequence - complex No. 1-complex No. 2. Nothing else. It is impossible to start classes from the second complex, if you have not done anything like this until now. It's more intense, and you can overstress your muscles so much that instead of positive effect get negative: the muscles will overstrain, the blood supply to the skin will be disturbed, it will turn gray or go pimples. This will of course improve with time and doing the right things, but I think that it is better not to arrange such problems for yourself, but to do everything right from the very beginning. Agreed?

Exercises of complex No. 2 are also done in the morning and in the evening for 10–15 minutes.

If you are a business woman and you are sorely short of time, but you need to take care of yourself, you can use a special set of exercises that involves doing gymnastics during working hours or on the road, that is, in the car and at the computer. The complex is called “Here and Now”. However, this complex has one limitation that should be kept in mind. Since the exercises must be done "dry" (without cream and makeup), be prepared to "paint the face" after the class. You can also do this: quickly remove makeup with a special lotion, do exercises, take a break, wipe your face again and only then apply cream and makeup again. Just be prepared for the fact that you need to provide some time for "coloring".

There is another set of very lightweight exercises, which is called "Afterward". It is intended for those women who have already achieved decent results with the help of the Kremlin aerobics for the face and want to reduce the intensity of their workouts, but at the same time not lose their shape. Exercise can be done everywhere - at home in front of the TV, in the elevator, on a walk, in the kitchen while preparing dinner. True, it is necessary to adhere to the basic rules: the exercises are done “dry”, after them you definitely need to relax and wash (wipe your face).

By the way, all four complexes can be combined with each other. The main thing is not to overwork and not to pull the muscles.

Remember that any load must be dosed. Therefore, my advice to you: do not do Kremlin aerobics for the face for a total of more than half an hour (maximum - 40 minutes) a day. But there can be several approaches: from the basic two (in the morning and in the evening) to 5–7 (during the day, you can practice several more times for several minutes). And remember that before you start mastering high-intensity exercises, you need to master less intense ones.

The right attitude

As I said before, your attitude is extremely important. Setting is actually half the battle. If you are not nice to yourself and see life exclusively in boring gray tones, no matter how your muscles tighten up, your face will still look lifeless, extinct. And vice versa, the more optimism and love of life you radiate, the more you believe in yourself, the faster the process of your rehabilitation will go. You literally every day will begin to notice changes for the better in yourself. How to properly tune in?

Rule 1

Begin each morning with the Inner Smile exercise. It will not take your time or energy, and the results will be amazing. Do it always, fill yourself with the energy of your own smile and creation. Life will turn to you with its best facets, you'll see!

This exercise is designed to fill our eyes with light and energy and through the eyes influence health, well-being, and emotional state.

The exercise is done in front of a mirror.

Go to the mirror, look into it. Smile at your reflection. Pay close attention to whether your eyes are smiling. They should be filled with the light of a smile. Make a motion as if you are about to smile. A smile is about to appear, but you don't let your lips blur. At this time, shift your attention to the eyes. What happens to them at this moment? They come alive. Your eyes fill with energy. Go on and keep smiling with your eyes. See what happens to your face, eyes. At first, you may be intimidated by your own gaze, this quickly passes. For people who are insecure, notorious, this is a first-class exercise that will help restore the joy of communicating with the world and get out of their secret "shelters". strong people This exercise will help you get even stronger. Because in their eyes, in addition to will and determination, kindness will appear. And kindness, as you know, is a force that no one has yet been able to break. With the help of the light of the eyes, you will be able to absorb the energy of the world of plants, water, and stars around you. Lighting a smile in your eyes, filling yourself with it, you use your inner energy of youth. Youth and love of life come to life in you, fill you, you feel amazing strength and love in yourself - for yourself, those around you, for the whole world.

How long will this exercise take? It is enough to devote a couple of minutes to it. Just put a smile on your face and that's it.

Rule 2

Look in the mirror at least five times a day. And every time smile at your reflection and mentally (and it will turn out - out loud) say encouraging words to yourself, like: “And you look very good today!”, “Well, you, mother, give! Here is your pace! Yes, if it goes on like this, you will soon pull on a twenty-year-old!”, “How beautiful you are!”, “How I love it when your eyes laugh!”,

“You are even better today than yesterday! Prettier day by day!”, “I’m proud of you, honestly!” It is very important that at the same time you turn to yourself as you, as if looking at yourself from the outside and giving an objective assessment of your appearance. As if this is an outside admiring observer looking at you and rejoicing at your transformation!

Rule 3

Before each session, devote half a minute to staring your mirror double in the eyes and at the same time say (to yourself or out loud, as you prefer, this time speaking in the first person - I, my face): “I really love my face. It is the most beautiful in the world. And I want everyone to see it. I get tired, so I get wrinkles, my skin starts to fade, my eyes don't look as bright as they used to. But I will return the skin to its former smoothness and delicate color, the eyes - brightness and liveliness, my cheeks will become rounded again, the neck - long and graceful. I will help myself with this. After each session, I feel that my wrinkle has become less, that my skin has brightened and turned pink, my eyes have come to life. I restore youth and freshness to my most beautiful face in the world. I love myself because it is impossible not to love me! Smile to yourself as you say this monologue. After all, it is intended for the most important thing in your life and - by right - your most beloved person! To yourself!

Rule 4

After each lesson, carefully look at yourself in the mirror, be sure to find even the most microscopic changes and say to yourself: “Well, one more wrinkle less, minus a couple more months! I've started the countdown! I succeeded!” And joyfully wink at yourself: “Will there be more!”

Rule 5

Make it a rule to constantly smile and laugh. It is difficult to find a situation in which it would not be possible to find funny sides. Look for them and have fun from the heart. Joke at the first opportunity, laugh at other people's jokes, relieve yourself of tension, do not let apathy, despondency, boredom take possession of you.

Rule 6

Engage only "out of love", that is, experiencing a real need for change, being keenly interested in them, having an inner readiness for them. Never do any exercises in a hurry, do nothing, because "it's necessary", for the proverbial tick.

Special exercises for the face and neck

Complex No. 1

Complex number 1 - basic. To prepare for it means to prepare in general for gymnastics, for the changes that will occur against the background of its application. It is very important to properly launch a rehabilitation program for your appearance. The effectiveness of all subsequent classes depends on this.

If you decide to do Kremlin facial aerobics, first study your appearance properly. Mercilessly mark all age-related changes. Make a list. This is what you are going to fight with the help of special gymnastics. Make a table. In the left column, place a list of your shortcomings. On average, how long would you like and are going to get rid of them. Leave the right column to record the achievement of the result. When it is reached, you will indicate the date of the obvious change that you found. Pay attention to the following details of your appearance: wrinkles in the corners of the eyes, nasolabial folds, wrinkles on the forehead, around the mouth, on the neck, sagging "flews" on the sides of the chin, flaccid skin, its unhealthy color. How to designate for yourself an adequate time frame for the elimination of these problems? All these unpleasant details of your appearance have been formed over a number of years. Take two weeks as your baseline. For each year after age 35, prescribe one week for wrinkles in the mouth and eyes, two for wrinkles on the forehead, ten days for nasolabial folds, 12 each for jowls and wrinkles on the neck, five days each to improve skin color and get rid of pigmentation.

Having compiled a table, you have prepared a training program for yourself, set specific goals for yourself, and outlined the deadlines for achieving them.

Now set aside time in the morning and evening for facial aerobics. The first complex will require maximum discipline; the time of the classes, while you accustom yourself to them, should be fixed. You may have to get up earlier or stay up late to carve out those 10-15 minutes that you can spend alone with yourself. It is important to get used to the exercises, to begin to perceive them organically. At first, you can look pretty ridiculous doing facial exercises. Therefore, try to ensure that no one sees you, does not ask questions, does not comment on your classes. This is also necessary so that you can focus on the exercises performed, concentrate your energy in order to get the greatest possible and best effect.

Begin each exercise by feeling how all the energy in your body is helping you. The tension of the muscles of the face is work, followed by relaxation. Therefore, the energy that comes to the rescue must be constantly replenished. This will help correct breathing. You need to breathe with your stomach, that is, when you inhale, draw in your stomach, when you exhale, relax and inflate a little. To practice proper breathing, you can practice: lie on your back, put a glossy magazine on your stomach. It should rise when you exhale and fall with your stomach when you inhale - then your breathing will be correct. Before each exercise, take a few deep breaths and slow exhalations, saturating the whole body with energy. During each exercise, imagine how the energy fills those muscles that are in this moment work.

You can choose any pose for gymnastics - the main thing is that it is comfortable for you. For someone it will horizontal position on the couch, while others are more comfortable sitting in a chair. But the legs, buttocks and back at the time of exercise should be relaxed.

Some exercises are uncomfortable to do while lying down, so you will have to lean on the back of a sofa or bed. Be sure to set a mirror in front of you, it will help not only to do the exercises correctly, but also to immediately see the results. After all, after the first exercise, the skin changes right before our eyes. Tracking these changes will give you extra confidence, will become a natural encouraging factor. (When you master all the exercises of the complex and bring their execution to automatism, you can do them without looking in the mirror. But you must start classes in front of the mirror.)

Strengthening the muscles around the mouth

From the synopsis of the Kremlin Masters

Age reveals the condition of the skin in several of the most problematic places: around the mouth, in the region of the nasolabial folds, on the forehead, in the region of the eyes, and on the neck. It is here that the muscle tone is weakened in the first place. And the skin responds to it. The only way out is to train the muscles. There is an alternative point of view. It boils down to the fact that, on the contrary, wrinkles appear from excessive facial mobility. Experience shows that this is not the case. The more you train the muscles of the face, the smoother and healthier the skin looks, the less wrinkles and wrinkles on it. Another thing - the skin should not be stretched. She then has to “sit back” for a long time. However, stretching the skin is also not fatal. And this process can be reversed - if there is will and perseverance.

So, the first exercises are against wrinkles in the lip area. Against the background of these exercises, the skin is smoothed; the corners of the mouth rise, creating a youthful expression; lips become stronger and fuller.

1. Slowly, with tension, stretch your lips, as if you are going to make the sound "O". Pulling out, open as wide as possible. The number of repetitions is 2-10 (every day add one repetition).

2. Squeeze your lips tightly, then tighten the corners of your mouth, trying to pull them up to your teeth, but do not clench your teeth. Your task is to raise and lower the corners of your mouth. Help yourself with the pads of your index fingers, which need to be pressed loosely to the corners of your mouth. The corners go up and down a little. The number of repetitions is 5–10.

3. Close your lips tightly. Place your index fingers in the middle of your lips and press down, feeling the tension of your lips. Then slightly move your fingers from the middle to the edges of the lips. Move, pressing on the lips, until you reach the corners of the lips, then walk your fingers, as if crushing the lips in the opposite direction to the middle. The number of repetitions is 5–10.

Strengthen the eye muscles

These exercises reduce swelling and bags under the eyes; tone the upper and lower eyelids, allowing them to “open” the eyes wider, making them larger and more expressive; smooth wrinkles under the eyes; do not allow new ones to form; remove wrinkles in the outer corners of the eyes, the so-called "crow's feet".

1. Keep your head still. Close your eyes. Start rotating your eyes clockwise - 10 times, and then against it - also 10 times.

2. Place the pads of the four fingers of both hands over the eyes under the eyebrows and press firmly against the skin. Raise your eyebrows a little. Squeeze your eyelids tightly, counting to five, then open your eyes, slightly loosening the pressure of your fingers, then relax for five seconds. The number of repetitions is 5-10.

3. Close your eyes and remember a funny situation or funny anecdote. Answer it with facial expressions, trying to smile as widely as possible. Now play sad. Imagine yourself as a sad Pierrot and give your face a natural expression of sadness with the help of facial expressions. Look at yourself in the mirror: eyebrows should be lowered, eyes slightly narrowed. Imagine the funny situation again. Alternate "masks" of laughter and sadness. The number of repetitions is 5-7.

After morning exercises for the face, wash the face well with contrasting temperature water. Then refresh it with an ice cube. If you have a few minutes in reserve, lie on your back, close your eyes and put cucumber slices or cotton pads moistened with freshly brewed tea on your eyelids (tea bags will not work, sleeping tea leaves - too; only high-quality, fresh, undiluted tea leaves are taken for lotions!). Lie down like this for five minutes. Then remove cucumber slices or tea lotions from the eyelids, do not wash your face, apply a cream appropriate to your skin type on your face and neck. Let it soak for 5-7 minutes (you can have breakfast or coffee at this time). After that, do your makeup.

After an evening aerobics session, it is good to take a relaxing herbal bath or sea ​​salt. While in the bath, exfoliate your face (do it 2-3 times a week). Gymnastic exercises will bring greater effect if you combine them with massage. After the bath, it's time for this procedure. Read more about massage.

Without proper training facial muscles weaken over time, lose their elasticity and, consequently, begin to sag, and the face becomes unattractive. But daily gymnastics will help to cope with the listed problems.

• Facial skin and muscles are amenable to gradual exposure. You need to start small. In the first classes, do a small number of repetitions. This will already be a good start in the recovery course;
• Practice in front of a mirror. This way you have full control over the process. Sit on a chair and straighten your back. If there is outerwear around the neck, remove it;
• Before starting the exercise, cleanse and moisturize the skin with a cream. Such preparation will prevent microtrauma during the exercise;
• Concentrate on relaxing and tensing your facial muscles. So you can achieve more effective results;

Facial exercises should be done twice a day. The duration of one procedure is about 15 minutes. Only with regular repetition, you can achieve the desired results (tighten facial muscles, smooth wrinkles, remove swelling under the eyes).

Facial exercises

As mentioned above, before starting the exercise, the skin of the face must be cleaned and moisturized with a special cream. However, it should be noted that facial gymnastics can be combined with the application of nourishing masks, oils, tonics, creams or anti-aging cosmetics.

Gymnastics for the face from Carol Maggio

Carol Maggio is an American cosmetologist who was the victim of an unsuccessful rhinoplasty. After that, she took up the study of the anatomy of the female body and developed a set of exercises for the face and neck. To prevent the appearance of wrinkles in the forehead and above the eyebrows, Carol Maggio suggests the following exercise:

1. Index fingers are placed parallel to the eyebrows. We fix them in this position. Gently raise your eyebrows up, holding them with your fingers. The exercise is repeated 10 times.
2. We hold the eyebrows in a raised state, holding them with our fingers. We make gentle pushes with pads until a slight burning sensation appears.
3. After the appearance of unpleasant sensations, we fix the eyebrows and count to 30.
4. Relax and gently massage the arches of the eyebrows.

Such a simple exercise will help a woman even out the texture of her eyebrows and smooth out unwanted wrinkles. You need to repeat the exercise several times a week.

Basic Mistakes

Facial muscle training is painstaking and hard work. When performing exercises, it is important not to make major mistakes in order to achieve the desired result. Among the main mistakes when doing facial exercises for wrinkles are the following:

• Holding strength training face every day. With excessive zeal appear muscle spasms, which is bad for a woman's face;
• Lack of relaxation exercises. At the end of each exercise, the facial muscles should relax and rest;
• Intense exercise. Don't think that the harder you train your muscles, the better. more efficient result. This is wrong. If your facial muscles cramp, you won’t do better to yourself;
• Performing exercises with a face in makeup. Before any muscle training, you should clean your face of cosmetics and moisturize it to avoid microtrauma;
• Performing exercises without a mirror. It is important to follow the sequence in which you perform the exercises in order to avoid mistakes.

If you follow all the rules for performing facial gymnastics against wrinkles, then you can smooth them out. Don't expect quick results, everything has its time.

Over time, our face inevitably undergoes age-related changes. One of the most unpleasant among them is the nasolabial folds. Surely every woman over 35 years old noticed them. Of course, they do not color anyone, give out age and add it, and these mimic wrinkles can appear even in young girls. One way to combat this phenomenon is Botox, but the price of this procedure is quite high. An alternative can be found at home. Effective Exercises for the face from nasolabial folds help fight nasolabial folds without financial investments. The main thing is to do them regularly, because you want to look young and attractive?

The main reasons for the formation of nasal folds are the loss of elasticity and mobility of the muscles, which manifests itself with age. Both hypotonicity and hypertonicity of muscles can lead to this trouble:

• Muscle hypotension. If drainage is disturbed as a result of venous or lymphatic stagnation, edema appears, decreases muscle tone and the skin sags. As a result, the eyelids droop, and this provokes nasolabial folds.
• muscle hypertonicity. Occurs when facial muscles shorten. Muscle spasm provokes stretching of the skin, and it loses elastin and collagen.

Of course, we cannot live without a smile, and while smiling, we cannot always control how do not damage the skin. But you can get rid of the problem or significantly reduce its manifestations using exercises from the nasolabial folds. Special gymnastics helps to eliminate nasolabial folds that have already appeared and prevent the appearance of new ones.

Kremlin aerobics for the muscles of the skin and face

In this chapter, I will tell you what to do so that at any age your face is fresh, well-groomed, so that your features do not blur, your skin is stretched, your eyes shine and shadows do not lie under them and grayish bags do not hang, so that your cheeks retain a pleasant roundness , lips - plumpness and juiciness. In a word, I will give you recipes, applying which you will become the real masters of time.

Are you hoping for the help of expensive creams? Do you think that the more you pay for a branded jar, the better the results will be? And why would they be better? Do you know where wrinkles and wrinkles form? Do you think it's on the surface of the skin? By no means! The folds and grooves are too deep, so deep under the skin that no cream can get there. And even if he had, what would it have been? Cream is a lubricant. Wrinkles are breaks in our tissues that occur in deep layers. Is it possible to fill fractures with grease? Try to take a piece of ... meat. Cut it with a knife. Slightly spread the notched edges. Now brush on top with soft butter. Will the incision be removed? Not really! The oil will be absorbed into the meat, something will remain on top of a greasy film. But at the same time, the incision will remain! The example is rough, the analogy is weak, I know. But, nevertheless, basically everything is exactly like that. You won’t get rid of wrinkles with the help of a cream, no matter what cosmetologists inspire us, striving to sell another “revolutionary” drug. What then gives the cream? Moisturizing and anointing the top layer of the skin - of course. Toning - yes. Antiseptic effect - yes. User satisfaction - yes. And, perhaps, everything. Creams can and should be used, but by definition they cannot give the effect that many people buy them for.

In the same way, masks, even branded ones, even homemade ones, will give little. All this is good, but it has its own limited range of action. Ask what to do then?

Let's proceed from the fact that our face is formed by ... muscles. In their youth, their tone is high, their condition is perfect. Over time, some of them stretch, the other - dries out, they worse and worse perform the function of a frame for the skin. As a result, the face “hangs”, folds and wrinkles form on it, in some places it becomes a lot, in others - a little. The same thing as with the face happens with other parts of our body. In the same way, the stomach, buttocks, etc. sag over time. Do you know what to do so that the stomach does not sag? Right! You need to do gymnastics! Here is the same thing to do with the face.

Systematic training of facial muscles is the key to his youth, excellent skin condition, absence of wrinkles, bags under the eyes and puffiness.

Have you heard about miraculous devices like muscle stimulators? This is when you take a pair of electrodes, bring them to your face, and under their action an involuntary contraction of micromuscles begins, which results in an improvement in their tone and skin tone. Such devices are really effective, but much more effective if you do the gymnastics yourself. After all, doesn’t it seem unnatural to you, instead of independently putting your muscles into action, stimulating them with electrodes? But what if we do it ourselves?

Now you are holding in your hands a unique book that contains just such a program! We ourselves can force our muscles to come into action, begin to contract and stretch. Each person at any time convenient for himself can do gymnastics for the face! And the results, as they say, will be evident. I will give you instructions to follow to achieve the best results.

This program was run for three years by my friends who enrolled in my health school. How do they look now? As expected, they look great!

If you are interested in specifics, please (although I will tell you about some special cases later, they are painfully indicative; they ask to be told separately).

One lady, Alexandra D., came to class two years ago. She was 42 years old, she was preparing for an early menopause, she was in no mood, her face was grayish and lowered, or something. There are wrinkles near the eyes and lips, on the forehead and bridge of the nose there are more serious wrinkles, a distinct double chin. And the eyes themselves are somehow faded, tired, tortured. (Even then I thought: it’s only good to sing about “love tired eyes” in a song; it’s unlikely that this will inspire someone in life.)

To her horror, Alexandra has recently begun to notice that young guys and (what is most unpleasant) girls, no, no, and even give her a place in public transport. She naturally took this as a signal of an impending disaster. And I decided to try to do something with myself. A friend of mine just told her about my school. Here Alexandra, without thinking twice, took the phone from that and signed up for a consultation. When she came to me, she told me that she had tried a bunch of all sorts of cosmetics, but they gave so little that her hands dropped. I gave her the Kremlin aerobics complex for the face (that's what I call this program, the history of which I will tell you a little later) and ordered ... to go home to clean up. She was very surprised, began to ask about simulators, special devices. I answered her in the spirit that, no matter how hard she tries, she is unlikely to be able to sip a barbell or dumbbell with the help of facial muscles - and even pedal some kind of exercise bike.

Each person always has with him the main tool for carrying out the necessary exercises - these are his own muscles. They need to be trained. And it’s absolutely not necessary for such training to go to some special place (gym or gym), that’s the whole point.

Alexandra listened attentively to me, asked permission to come in the future for clarifications and consultations, and went to implement the program we had outlined. She did exercises on the muscles of the face and neck without fail in the morning and evening, and also tried to do them in any free time.

In three months, she achieved results that not every plastic surgeon would have given her.

Firstly, she has a 70 percent decrease in the depth of wrinkles and wrinkles. Naturally, something remains, but it is impossible to completely turn back time. You are adults, you should understand this.

Secondly, the tendency to the second chin has completely disappeared.

Thirdly, there is no trace of the emerging "brills" (this is when the cheeks sag on the sides of the chin).

Fourthly, puffiness under the eyes disappeared, the skin ceased to be edematous.

Fifthly, the complexion has improved - it has turned pink.

Sixth, the eyes came to life and began to glow.

In general, Alexandra began to look about a dozen years younger. That is, to be more precise, she turned into a clearly young, well-groomed, flourishing woman, whose age simply cannot be determined by eye. Something a little over 30 ... Something like that. The girls stopped giving her a seat in the transport, and began to look enviously at her. But the guys, on the contrary, became more active - but not out of respect for their age, but wanting to attract her attention. What happened to her next? Having achieved success in working with appearance, Alexandra did not stop there. She decided to take on her life and remake it completely for herself in accordance with her desires. Would you say fantasy? No, not at all.

A person can do a lot, it's just that he is either too lazy to use his abilities to the fullest, or does not know about them, or is shy, or all together. It doesn't matter. The main thing is that our potential is often unclaimed.

So, Alexandra finally decided to claim it and succeeded in this.

At 42, she was a divorced woman who worked from home as an accountant. Her twenty-year-old son had by that time begun to rent a room, and she was left alone with the cat, restless, boring to herself, aging.

Rejuvenated thanks to the Kremlin aerobics for the face, Alexandra cheered up. Within two years, she achieved the following:

She opened her own business (now she has a flower salon);

Passed on the rights;

I bought first one, then the second car;

Traveled abroad eight times (finally realized her old dreams of seeing the world);

I met a great man 5 years younger than myself (and he didn’t even know about this age difference, believing that Alexandra, on the contrary, was younger than him);

She gave birth to a daughter from him;

I moved with my daughter and a cat to live with him in a cottage!

Is there a result? Still would! We sometimes call Alexandra on the phone, she reports to me about her new achievements. We have been talking on "you" for a long time. Following her, I had a bunch of her friends. Kremlin aerobics for the face helped everyone without exception (of course, everyone who systematically practiced it). Do not make an exception and you. Take control of your own age, your life - reshape it in accordance with your desires. Good luck!

Dear ladies! You will not find in my book those cosmetology terms that you might be used to on the packaging of creams or on consultations with cosmetologists. Excuse me for this. I see my task in telling you as simply as possible what to do with yourself in order to solve the tiring and tormenting issues of aging. We will not talk about the benefits of liposomes and their differences from nanospheres, although this is a very important topic. Just take with you and turn back time. Let's work on ourselves. Do you agree? Then go ahead.

Daily Kremlin aerobics for the muscles and skin of the face will allow you to:

Tighten the oval of the face;

Get rid of such cosmetic problems as enlarged pores, excessive fat formation, a tendency to acne, comedones, pigmentation;

Get rid of bags and circles under the eyes;

Reduce the number and depth of wrinkles and fine lines by 70 percent or more;

Refresh complexion;

Tighten the skin on the neck;

Get rid of the second chin;

Refresh the mouth area, making the lips more plump and juicy;

Make cheeks more rounded;

Have a fresh, well-groomed appearance;

Look at least 10 years younger than your age.
