Years ago, Richard Simmons advocated exactly these exercises for keeping your face looking younger!
Thanks for posting these, Kerry. I may actually start using them this time around!

I have used some of these for years. But I have to admit not on a real regular basis always. But they certainly do help...
But when first starting, be ready to feel the soreness in facial places you don't normally think of.. especially around the neck area ....but after a few days they
get better.

I thought this was debunked years ago. Some doctor said that the muscles of the face aren't like big body muscles and exercising them liberally was just going to wrinkle the skin faster, since skin isn't a muscle.

Quote from my "Give Yourself a Facial Workout" thread here at BetterMost People:
"Within the skin is the tiny muscle called the arrector pili. Immediately underneath the skin are the circular and long muscles that allow us to control movement of our eyes, mouth, jaw and neck. They are the muscles of eating, speech and facial expression and usually hold a significant amount of residual tension in their fibres. They need stretching, exercises and deeper massage to relax and reset them. These same techniques can be used on most other areas of the skin."
