The facial muscles are connected to both the skin and the bone which forms a ‘cushion’ on which the skin rests. By stimulating the muscles through exercise the underlying cushion is plumped up. If this cushion is worn-out, compressed or not consistent in thickness the skin will look sullen, deflated and lifeless, consequently not looking its best. With toning exercises the muscle mass will be maintained, it can also be increased. 

Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles 

Dormant, undernourished, lazy, essentially relaxed facial muscles sink and fall with time by the effects of gravity. The overlying attached skin falls and sinks with them, thereby over many years creating facial wrinkles and folds. By gradually and continually working out your facial muscles your skin will not be able to fall into sunken grooves to form wrinkles because few grooves or folds will have formed.

It is imperative that you condition your facial musculature or your muscles will become slack and lax with the result that the overlying skin becomes saggy, baggy and crepe like. One of the major causes of sagging facial skin is a loss of muscles tonicity (mass). By exercising your jaw, cheeks and neck muscles you will tone up your facial muscles, therefore indirectly pulling and firming up your skin.

Promotes collagen production giving your face the bloom of youth 

Stimulation by exercise of the micro circulatory network carries nourishment to the skin in the face and influences the production of collagen, a kind of connective tissue that plumps up your skin. This stimulus of the fibroblasts or collagen-producing cells in the skin, gives your face elasticity and a radiant glow, the bloom of youth. As we age fibroblasts become fewer and lazy causing the skin to become less firm, drier and even more wrinkled.

The increased blood flow to all areas brings back natural collagens, elastins, vitamins and nutrients, naturally occurring in the blood stream, to the dermis and epidermis giving one a vibrant radiance. Improved circulation leads to a bright complexion and improved detoxification as debris and damaged cells are removed. The skin regains its natural luster. 

Just like after doing any other form of exercise, after you have completed your routine, you will feel energized and acquire a healthy glow. The worked out muscles will continue to work just a little more efficiently even after you have ceased stimulating them with exercise. Confidence, learning anything new is an accomplishment. By looking better, healthier and more radiant you will feel better adding to your well being, self esteem and self-assurance, gaining confidence everyday.
