All women, and men too, dream of smooth, smooth young skin. And in various ways they try to fight with terrible wrinkles that mercilessly remind of age. Today we will consider exercises for the muscles of the face and neck, we will talk about facebuilding and revitonics, which work wonders, without injections and surgery, they will help return the ideal contours of the face.
So who created facebook building?
From the English word "facebuilding" means fitness, gymnastics for the face. It was founded by German surgeon Reinhold Benz. The essence of the program is to develop and tighten muscles.
All face-building exercises for the face consist in alternating relaxation and tension of different muscle groups. This is an internal massage. But, not everyone, unfortunately, can do this gymnastics. Who should not be involved:
- people after plastic surgery (you need to abstain for two years) and Botox procedures;
- hypertensive patients;
- people with facial nerve pathology.
There are no age restrictions. This system of exercises is good in that it allows you to get rid of the habit of tightening muscles. Because of which there are eyebrow wrinkles, vertical and horizontal grooves on the forehead. So, these exercises for the face first work out the problem areas well, and then relax the muscles.
Why does the skin sag?
Because our internal muscle corset is aging and stretching, and at the same time, the spread of nutrients slows down and worsens. And the muscles take part in the great blood circulation. The skin does not receive vitamins in full, which is why sagging and sagging skin, dark circles and bags under the eyes occur. But you can fight this ailment by performing fitness for the face.
How soon will the result be visible?
Perhaps this is the main question. Exercises must be done constantly, only systematic and diligence will achieve the desired effect. Without exaggeration, in two months the face will be rejuvenated by 5-10 years. Two weeks later, the complexion improves.
The program includes more than thirty exercises. Choosing a suitable complex, you need to train three times a day for 15 minutes. The main thing is not to miss classes! Why do wrinkles appear? Our face skin is held by muscles. When they overexert, become flabby and creases occur, unfortunate grooves occur. It is this rejuvenating facial gymnastics that helps restore muscle function.
What does the training process look like?
The procedure is divided into three main stages:
- Preparatory. Before starting the training, it is necessary to clean the skin of the face and hands with napkins, gel or facial cleanser, performing circular movements from the bridge of the nose to the temples. And warm up the muscles of the face and neck by performing massage only with the fingertips, making soft circular movements. Metal objects (spoons) cannot be used. Before massage, you should not use essential oils, they clog pores, and then acne and inflammation may appear.
- Doing exercises. You can do it yourself by the mirror or with a trainer, sitting with a straightened back.
- Recreation. An important stage. You can not overexert. Between exercises, you need to take a break, relax.
As mentioned above, the main thing is regularity.

Facial exercises should be started with five repetitions, and reach fifteen, increase the load gradually, because the facial muscles are thin and small, they are easy to pump. The duration of the repetition is six seconds. We do pre-facial massage. If done correctly, a slight burning sensation will be felt.
A break between exercises is required. We inhale, tighten our lips and exhale air, creating a vibration in them. After completion of the complex, you need to apply the used nourishing cream to enhance the effect.
But, for beginners it is better to start practicing:
- With twice a week for a month. Moreover, it will be more like a study, rather than execution. Care must be taken to track errors.
