Do You Even (Face) Lift, Bro? Exercises for Your Cheeks and Jaw

Get fit to face the world with these facial exercises. A well-rounded physical fitness routine is a key component to living a healthy lifestyle. But we typically neglect to work out the very muscles people see the most - our faces. Just like the rest of your body, the more than 57 muscles in your face and neck require exercise to stay toned and fit. These simple facial exercises can help you strengthen facial muscles, get a slim face, and even combat signs of aging.

The Brow-Raiser

If you want: Lifted brows

Perform this facial exercise regularly to keep your brows up where they belong:

  1. Put your index and middle fingers together in a closed peace sign
  2. Rest your fingernails over your brows and gently push the skin down
  3. Lift your brows up and down, while creating resistance with the weight of your fingernails
  4. Repeat 10 times
  5. Complete 6 sets

Tip: Add FOREO's IRIS™2 to your face workout to target signs of aging around the eye contour.

The Cheekbone Lift

If you want: Defined cheekbones

We weren’t all blessed with Angelina-Jolie-as-Maleficent cheekbones, but facial exercise can help you get a little closer. Trade-in flabby, fat cheeks for defined cheekbones by following these steps:

  1. Place your fingers over each cheekbone
  2. Gently lift the skin until taut
  3. Open your mouth to form an elongated “O”; you should feel resistance in your cheek muscles
  4. Hold for 5 seconds
  5. Complete 10-15 sets

The Chipmunk Cheek Squeeze

If you want: A slim face

Sculpt fat cheeks and an excuse to make a fish face over and over again? Sign us up. Here’s how to lose those acorn-storage pouches:

  1. Tilt your head all the way back and push your chin forward
  2. Suck your cheeks in as much as possible
  3. Hold for 5 seconds
  4. Complete 10-15 sets

The Jaw Flex

If you want: A toned jawline

A double chin can make you look heavier and older than you really are. Trim face fat and get a more defined look with this face workout:

  1. Tilt your head back until you’re looking at the ceiling
  2. Move your lower lip over your upper lip as far as you can; you should feel this in the jaw muscles near your ears
  3. Hold for 10 seconds
  4. Complete 10-15 sets

The Puffer Fish Press

If you want: Wrinkle-free nasolabial folds

This facial exercise will help reduce the very un-funny appearance of laugh lines around your mouth. Here’s how:

  1. Close your mouth and puff up your cheeks
  2. Move the air from one cheek to the other
  3. Repeat for 30 seconds

Just like you should use a foam roller after a normal workout, use the anti-aging side of your LUNA™ 4 to massage away any tension after your facial exercises.

Hi, I recently lost weight on my body and face due to high stress. This makes my face look older and my skin more sagging. My body has recovered but my face has remained slim, bony and sagging. Even my nose looks bigger now that my cheeks are flatter. I am 35. What can I do to get some fat back on my face? Thanks

Dear Joane, Thank you for your post. We would recommend that you follow these exercises to help tone up the facial muscles to help with giving your face some lift. Results of course will vary over time but this may give you back some fullness. Hope this helps and you are feeling better now :)

Hey so I’ve been doing jaw exercises for four months straight and it made my chin narrow and all the fat in my chin disappeared . And chin also became shorter . Will I regain it if I stop doing it ?

Hi Roma, If you do not like the effect that the exercises are causing then its best to stop. Like most excises its all about the upkeep so if you slack in the routine we are sure you will get back your previous appearance.
