Facial exercises for a perfect smile

Smile exercises

Simple and straightforward, this exercise in smiling practice improves the facial muscles that control your smile, which will give you greater control over your happy expressions. Start by sitting or standing in front of a mirror, whichever is more comfortable, with your face and lips in a relaxed state.

1. Stretch both the corners of your mouth laterally (to the sides) while keeping your lips together; hold for 10 seconds.
2. Expand the lateral stretch and part your lips to expose the edge of your teeth; hold  it for 10 seconds.
3. Stretch more towards laterally and expose about half of your teeth; hold it for 10 seconds.
4. Smile wide and hard as you can, with all teeth to be shown; hold it  for 10 seconds.
5. Repeat steps 3, 2, and 1 to reverse the smile gradually.

For additional exercise, you can go through all of the above steps, using your index fingers to stretch the corners of your mouth and create the different smiles.

The silly rabbit

In this exercise, you’ll tone your cheek muscles while increasing the flexibility and control of your smile. You may or may not look in a mirror while performing this exercise. Here are the steps for this face exercise:

1. Smile as wide as you can, without opening your lips. Try for an ear-to-ear grin.
2. Wiggle your nose like a rabbit until you feel your cheek muscles engage with the smile.
3. Hold the pose for 5 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 1,2, 3 for 10 times 

The facelift exercise

One particular facial muscle, the quadratus labiisuperioris, is essential for maintaining a youthful appearance. Developing this muscle helps to prevent facial sagging and ensure resiliency. Below are two exercises to help utilize this muscle to your advantage.

1. With your mouth slightly open and the upper lip relaxed, flare out your nostrils and wrinkle the nose with an exaggerated motion.
2. Pull up the upper lip and hold for a count of 10. Slowly release.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2, for 10 times.

The smile line eraser

With this exercise, you can work at reducing the appearance of fine lines around your mouth, makes you look younger and gives you more natural smile. In yoga, this exercise is referred to as the fish pose. Here’s how to do it:

1. Pucker up: purse your lips as dramatically as possible by sucking in your cheeks and rolling your lips out.
2. Attempt to smile while you’re puckering.
3. Hold this pose until there’s a mild aching sensation in the muscles around your mouth, then release. This exercise should be done only once a day, in order to avoid straining the muscles of your face.

The Smile Wide technique

This exercise is relatively a huge part of our daily lives. But the trick here is, that you smile wide, for about 15 seconds, hold that smile and repeat this over 10 times. Not only will this cause a stretch and strain in your cheek muscles, but will also increasingly make you feel happier than before. And slowly, it would become a habit, smiling off at things that make you feel in a certain way.

It needs more  time and devotion. Without it, these smiling exercises will make no difference to your facial structure. Incorporate these facelift exercises to your daily health routine, devoting at least 30 minutes just to it. In a few months, you will start showcasing the results.

 The biggest enemy of your skin loosening up or stress showing on your face is just unhappiness. The facelift exercises and happiness, work hand in hand, simultaneously.
