Using Facial Exercises For Eyes

By Ines Flores


When a person ages one of the first places that it is noticed is in their face. The eye area is especially vulnerable to wrinkling and creasing. Many people solve this problem by using cosmetic surgery to tighten the skin surrounding their faces. Others have discovered facial exercises for eyes as a natural and far less expensive solution.

Wrinkling that appears in the form of crow's feet or laugh lines on the side of your face near the temple can be caused by several sources. Squinting is by far the most common and the worst source of these deep lines. People squint when they are in the sun without sun glasses, when they smoke or when reading in poor light. Other causes are excessive exposure to the sun while working or playing and sleeping on the face.

Exercising the muscles in your face may prove difficult because it is not something that is customarily practiced by most people. Training yourself to do these eye aerobics daily can prevent the appearance of crows feet and droopy lids and help you maintain a youthful glow for your entire face. They should be practiced twice daily and to ensure proper manipulation of your skin a mirror should be used.

When you decide to begin following this regimen it is important to remember that a moisturizer needs to be used. The skin surrounding your eye is very delicate area and can be damaged if rubbed or stretched roughly. Moisturizers help to replace the elasticity and protect fragile areas. Some people suggest using water in place of moisturizer to help ease the possibility of slipping fingers.

Practicing eye tapping is an effective method of handling dark circles or puffiness around the eye area. This simple exercise involves using the pads of your fingers to gently pat the under-eye area in an effort to stimulate blood flow. Placing the fingers in the corner of the eye nearest the nose apply a series of soft taps directly under the eye from side to side repeating the full process five times.

Tension and stress will cause wrinkling in your face. To relieve tension from the eye area the technique that works best is to gently pinch the skin on either side of your brow and massage the stress out of it. To help remove existing wrinkles placing a finger on each side of the wrinkle and gently applying pressure for ten second intervals five times daily.

The trickiest exercise to perform affects the under-eye muscles on your face. Keeping these muscles strong will greatly enhance a youthful appearance. This exercise should be practiced in front of a mirror to ensure effectiveness. Look into the mirror and slowly attempt to lift your eyelids in a series of small steps. When you begin try to achieve three steps while working to advance to a total of five movements. This process takes a mind set of determination, strength, and concentration to accomplish but will be worth it in long term appearance improvement.

As with any exercise regimen the benefits of this program are long range but they are the easiest and least expensive form of defense available to combat the inevitable signs of aging.
