Not many people are familiar with the concept of face and neck exercises. Most people know about the benefits of exercising for your body, but they ignore the great benefits of keeping the tone of your face and neck muscles. Imperfections like wrinkles, sagging skin or under eye bags can be prevented or improved with some regular and quick workouts for your facial area.

Moisturizers and creams are okay for fighting wrinkles, but you are only fighting a part of the problem this way. To keep you face and neck area young looking and without sagging, you should work on the muscle tone. There are several parts to work on: Cheeks, lips, neck, forehead, eyes, etc. If you want to look younger than what your wrinkles tell, exercising your facial muscles will prevent you from getting a double chin and sagging neck (or make them look better if you already have them) and also make you look lighter (people tend to mistake a double chin as an excess weight sign, when often it is just a poor muscle tone problem).

To keep your neck and throat looking better, try some of the following moves. One of the easiest is to simply sit upright, lean your head back and look at the ceiling, then pretend to chew while keeping your lips together. Repeat the movement about 20 times daily and you'll be surprised how quickly you'll begin to see results.

Another of the effective and beneficial face neck exercises is to lie on your back on your bed. With your head resting over the edge, slowly bring your head up toward your body and hold it for 10 seconds. Then, relax and put your head back down over the edge. Again, if you'll repeat 5 times or more per day, you'll soon see more tone and definition in a sagging or double chin.

If you're starting to see lines around your lips, you can try some of the following exercises to help diminish those lines. Before that, however, if you smoke, stop! Smoking will put those lines there faster than anything else except maybe the sun, so stop smoking while you start these face neck exercises, and improve your looks as well as your health.

One of the easiest exercises for your lips is sitting upright with your head looking to the front. Positioning your lips and teeth together, smile as much as you can and hold it for 5 seconds. While your relax, purse your lips to a kissing position and hold it for another 5 seconds. Do this at least 10 times a day.
