Healthy Weight Loss

Loose skin and drooping is common after people lose weight, and many seek to firm facial muscles. If you have lost a lot of weight, have dry skin or are older, you will more than likely have a problem with loose skin after losing weight. Having loose skin does not affect health, but it can be perceived as unattractive and cause self-esteem issues. Luckily, there are exercises that help firm facial muscles after weight loss. Performing a series of facial exercises and stretches will help you tone your facial muscles.

Instructions

1
Sit down comfortably in a chair. You will be staying in this chair until you complete the facial stretches and exercises. Take a deep breath.
2 Take a second deep breath by inhaling through the nose, then open your mouth wide. Stick out your tongue completely, and imagine you are trying to touch it to your chin. Squeeze your facial muscles tightly. Continue deep breathing, and while you exhale make a "ha" sound. This facial stretch may cause your eyes to water. Repeat this expression three times. Doing this facial exercise will stretch the facial muscles and relieve tension.
3
Keep your face neutral, and smile lightly, not a strained or large smile, but simply raise the corners of your mouth. Repeat this light smile three times to tone your smile lines.
4 Strengthen your forehead muscles by widening your eyes, but keep your forehead straight; you should not crease, crinkle, or show expression from your forehead. Focus your eyes on something far in front of you for at least ten seconds. Repeat this expression four times.
5 Firm your cheeks by puffing out your cheeks. Fill your cheeks with air, then switch the air from cheek to cheek. Continue switching the air from cheek to cheek until you need to breathe. Repeat this three times.
6 Smile lightly, then purse your lips. Suck in your cheeks, so your face looks like a "fish face." Continue sucking in your cheeks then drawing them out five times. This facial stretch will tone your cheeks.
7 Firm your nose and lips area by smiling widely, then use your fingertips to gently hold the area above the crease of your lips and nose. You will press up with your fingertips while lifting up with your facial muscles. This will be repeated at least 30 times.
