Exercises To Get Rid Of Facial Fat

By Kumutha G

Chubby cheeks look adorable, not to mention, healthy, only till you are in your infancy. Post that stage, there is nothing appealing about it. Facial fat can make you look twice your age, strip your skin off its natural luster and potentially ruin your overall charm.

Rather than spending a chunk of your paycheck in expensive facial treatments or going on strenuous diets, a simple solution to the bloated puffy face is facial massage and exercise.

Just like your body muscle, your facial muscle too works hard, and so, can do with some gentle stroking and stimulation. Facial exercise can drain the face off its excess fluids, flush out toxins and boost circulation, which in turn helps the skin to absorb nutrients better.

Not just that, facial stimulation can tighten saggy skin by boosting oxygen flow, improve skin tone, alleviate nervous disorder and provide instant stress-relief.

Puffing Cheeks
Inhale deeply through your mouth. Hold the air in your mouth for a few seconds. With the help of your facial muscles, shift the air in your mouth from the left to the right cheek and vise versa. Repeat the process 15 times. Pause, take a break and repeat the process after a minute.

Smile Technique
Smile as wide as you can. Clench you teeth gently and pucker. Avoid squinting during the exercise. Repeat the process 10 times. Even smiling a lot can have a slimming effect on the face. So, lift up those lips in a wide smile to give your cheeks some much-needed workout.
