Facial Exercises from Dr. Sara Klein

Here are the three exercises and the areas they target:

UPPER EYES:
Relax your brow, then place your three middle fingers directly under the eyebrow. Drop your palms. Place them flat against the sides of your face. Using your fingertips, gently push the eyebrows upward and outward. Hold the eyebrows in this position with your eyes open slightly. Then push your brows down against your fingertips for a count of 5. Remove your fingers. Take a deep breath. Repeat this exercise three times for a count of 10 each time. To end, take a deep breath and gently close your eyes.

LOWER EYES:
With your head level, turn your eyes upward ever so slightly. Glare to tighten the lower eye muscle. Do not squint. Hold the glare for 5 seconds. Rest. Breathe. Repeat 3 times for a count of 10 seconds each time.

NECK AND DOUBLE CHIN:
Lift your chin to create a taut line between your chin and the base of your neck, keeping your shoulders erect. Press your tongue firmly against the roof of your mouth. Your teeth and lips will be slightly apart. Tense your neck. Hold for a count of 5. Relax. Bring your head to its level position. Take a deep breath. Repeat 3 times for 10 seconds each time.
