A misshapen face develops slowly over time. When you're in your 20s, 30s and 40s, your confidence level is high. You look in the mirror with assurance that your appearance is ideal but when that 50th or 60th birthday rolls around, you realize that your youthful demeanor is fleeing. The best kept anti-aging secret is facial exercise. Facial exercise acts as The Fountain of Youth.
Weddings are a great place to people watch. The attendees come in all sizes and shapes and that includes their faces.
There are faces that wear a double chin. Uncle Harry, father of the groom, the owner of the double chin may or may not be morbidly obese but he is sporting at least an extra twenty pounds and that attributes to his portly appearance.
Hooded eyes on Aunt Hilda are easy to spot as eyeliner, mascara and shadow look somewhat strange on her droopy eyes; raising and wrinkling the brows are a typical movement for one whose eyesight is compromised when the eye brows and lids drop and those horizontal forehead lines have never been deeper.
Sagging cheeks drag down the skin as deep crevices are developed between the nose and mouth. The fold is a dead giveaway that the zygomaticus muscles are in need of repositioning.
Sometimes folds are noticed in the lower mouth, too, as jowls and pouches form along the jaw line. There is no disguising this look especially when it is coupled with a double chin.
Add wrinkles to the sags and droopiness. Wrinkles and lines can develop across the forehead, the cheeks, the lower mouth and the neck seemingly overnight. Oh sure, some of it is attributable sun damage early on but most wrinkles are a result of elongating muscles pooling into other muscles affecting where the end of the muscle attaches to the skin. This downward motion, pooling, can create deep lines and wrinkles.

Do words like 'matronly', 'aging', 'dated' and 'old' describe your face and your body?
Men and women have searched high and low for the illusive Fountain of Youth.
Have you looked for an anti-aging remedy? How many have you tried?
How many cosmetic products have you purchased just hoping that this lotion or that potion would actually do something for your face? All of us have purchased product after product to exfoliate, nourish, protect, tighten, etc, hoping to get rid of wrinkles, perk up drab facial skin and look younger.
Disappointment after disappointment prevails because lax facial muscles, the cause of looking old, cannot be lifted, toned or remedied using creams and preparations.
The best kept anti-aging secret is facial exercise. Facial exercise acts as The Fountain of Youth.
Just as you exercise your body using easy resistance and contraction techniques at the gym, you can apply the same principles to your face.
Thumbs, fingers and white cotton gloves are the only equipment you need to strengthen and refine those soft, atrophied facial muscles hidden under the skin.
A facial exercise routine takes only minutes per day to complete. The muscles are small and they respond quickly to the movements. Anchoring techniques assure results and the more faithful you are to the routine, the results will last longer and longer.
From the inside out you see results from the very day you begin the program. You will feel how your facial muscles respond to each movement and in the mirror you will see the results. Day by day the underlying muscles strengthen and refine lifting and sculpting your face.
It is best to document your results with digital photos. Before you begin take three close-up photos: a front view and each side. At the end of every third week of exercise, take another set so that over the course of nine to twelve weeks, you have several sets of photos.
Will you look like you did at 20? Not likely but you will look younger, prettier and more handsome using the most reliable avenue - facial exercise.
