Making Old Faces Young... The Natural Way

Making one's face look younger is everyone's dream. There are people who resort to different methods - even the most expensive ones - just so they'd get that "look young, feel young" atmosphere. But to those who can barely afford it, the "attempt" is considered a vice. Most of the time, you'd hear from these people the line, "Why would you interfere with nature's course?" But those who want to preserve the youth as they add up years would say, "Why not age with grace?" Yes, why not? You may think it is too late to do so especially if you were once abusive of your body (e.g., too much sun-bathing, etc.) when you were younger. Most of the time, it is the reason why people acquire the old-age look (even before they get to that stage) since the body was not well taken cared of. The tell-tale signs of old age are the sunken hollows of the cheeks and around the eyes, sagging of the chin, wrinkles on the forehead, the "rumpled" and the total haggard look. But there's always hope. The moment you realize you need to take care of your health is never too late a time to do so--whether you are 30 or 60. It's been proven that rejuvenation of the face through friction and massage are the best ways to look young and feel young. Realize that the main reason your facial muscles sag is lack of muscular exercise. Like any other muscle of the body, constant exercise can make these facial muscles expand and develop, effectively removing the sagging look. Wrinkled skin, on the other hand, has been proven to be made elastic again through regular application of friction. This does not only apply to women who are known to be vain in nature but for the men as well. How is applying friction on the skin done? With the help of some lotion to minimize irritation (not too much lotion, though, as there will be no more friction), work on the areas which normally result to sagging, such as the cheeks, the throat, the chin, the forehead and around the eyes. Start as though you are polishing a pair of shoes: with a slight, circular friction on the surface areas, which should gradually increase in pressure but not too vigorous that you will end up abrading and irritating your face. This process will progressively restore the elasticity of your skin and smoothen out the wrinkles. To exercise your facial muscles, use your palm heel. With enough pressure, massage your cheeks and other parts of the face in circular motion. This process will build up the muscles and fill those "hollows", those sunken areas around the eyes and the cheeks. Do this also on the chin and throat. Make sure you apply equal amount of pressure to the entire face so that the build up of muscles will be uniform. Do these exercises a few minutes everyday--even while you are watching the TV-- and you will soon see the "miracle" of a younger looking you. The process of looking older does not have to be as fast as it is now. With the right determination, and knowing the proper techniques, you can almost stop the advance of the "aged" look, no matter that your actual age is unstoppably moving ahead. It's been proven possible and there's no reason you can't achieve the same.
