What do face exercises do?
To know how
face exercises work first we understand the anatomy of the face, which is made
up of skin, fat, and muscle layered on the top of the skull. The outer layer on
your face, what we see, wash, and touch every day, is called the epidermis.
Under that is a thicker layer, which is called the dermis. This layer content
is full of subcutaneous fat explained by Dr. Murad Alam.
the
subcutaneous fat is "a series of fat pads, which are plump, fat-containing
areas that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle … to create the volume that gives
our face shape,” said Alam.
Your fat
pads play a very important role to look younger. Only of that, we can speak
easily. Fat pads play a role in the fullness of our faces.
As we age,
the fat pad starts to thin, become less plump, and also sag. The sagging makes
hollowness in the upper part of the face as people age.
“The purpose
of the facial exercises seems to be to help to grow muscles under the fat pads
such that, as you exercise them, they become larger in size and begin to
perform some of the functions the fat pads were performing before to make your
face look fuller,” said Alam.
What are the best face
exercises?
There are
many exercises in face yoga ( the cheek lifter, the forehead press, exercises
for wrinkles, etc ). First, we select which problem we have then we decide
which kind of facial yoga we will try. If we have wrinkles problems so do
wrinkles remover exercises. It’s better first to recognize your problems and
work on your solution.
