Double chins, softening jowls and pouches near your mouth indicate that your face is showing visible signs of aging and these areas will not improve unless you are willing to take control of the aging process.

Chances are if you are over the age of 35, you are beginning to notice slight sagging in certain areas of your face and neck; this probably has caused you to think about the remedies that are available to keep you looking younger.

Using injections is an option; however, injections are temporary, they cost a lot of money, the needles and serum inflict pain and they only work in a limited way. Plumping up nose to mouth lines when your chin is sagging or using muscle paralyzing toxins in your forehead when your eye lids are heavy is a complete waste of your resources.

Surgery can certainly hike up those eyebrows and provide the ever popular wind-tunnel look when loose skin is swept upward toward the ear. Never mind that dispensing with thousands of dollars, putting yourself at risk for complications and infection and settling for results that are less than perfect - surgery can certainly change your appearance. Surgery, too, is temporary because we continue to age. And, repeated surgeries can easily make one look freakish and unnatural.

The above options cannot compete with exercise.

Oh sure, the advertising agencies stake their reputations on brainwashing the consumer to make them believe that one can only look younger and prettier by enlisting the aid of a plastic surgeon who is willing to cut into perfectly healthy tissue in hopes that you will like the results.

Or that by making an appointment for injections of cadaver materials and toxins will somehow magically transform your tired, lined face into one ten years younger.

No matter that these injections can create additional wrinkles when the face is made to act unnaturally or that you might have adverse long-term reactions.

Exercise is natural and that means that your body stays safe. Using only your fingers and thumbs while wearing white cotton gloves, specialized movements can easily give sagging facial muscles new life and vitality. Just as you use exercise to keep your body sleek and toned, you can exercise your facial muscles.

Learning to artfully and successfully alter the shape and contour of your face when it is currently misshapen and spongy requires that you exercise only minutes a day. In the privacy of your home, you can take control of the aging process and make yourself look younger! Sagging in the face, just like sagging in the body, is a result of muscle atrophy. Muscle atrophy is a result of disuse of the muscles; even though you have laughed, smiled, grimaced and frowned, these movements do not stop the muscles from elongation. Gravity continually tugs at all our muscles - we see the result in our arms, thighs and buttocks; and, we see it in our faces. In fact, by the time our age is 55, the muscles in the face will have elongated about one-half inch.

When droopiness continues to affect your face, you will look older. Exercise that uses resistance with isometric contraction will stop the cause of sagging in the face and the look of youthfulness will return in just a few short weeks. Sagging cheeks will lift, the forehead will tighten, upper eyes will look vibrant and that double chin and wattle will be toned and lifted. Every area of your face and neck will experience the benefit of these remarkable exercise movements.

Imagine looking at least 10-15 years younger without surgery, drugs or risk. Just like exercise works to maintain the body's youthfulness, facial exercise will help you look and feel years younger.
