Using Facial Exercises For Eyes

By Ines Flores


Aging is something that all people experience and as they age their skin loses some of the elasticity that helps to keep it smooth and wrinkle free. The area around the eye is generally the first place that wrinkles appear. Those who can afford it sometimes resort to cosmetic surgery as an expedient way to resolve this problem while using facial exercises for eyes is far more cost effective and works comparably well when done properly.

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.

Participants must remember to be careful when practicing these rituals because the skin surrounding your eye is very fragile and can be damaged or further wrinkled if stretched or rubbed too roughly. Some of this problem can be alleviated by using a moisturizer prior to beginning the process of exercise movements. Some advocates recommend using water in place of creams while exercising your face.

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.

Any daily regimen takes dedication from participants. This may be the easiest and least expensive solution to eye wrinkles you can find.
