  • Place the index above each eyebrow and press lightly down; While pressing, try raising your eyebrows up.
  • This exercise works the muscles that surround the eye and helps tone and strengthen the upper eyelid.

  • Open your mouth and move the corners of your mouth towards your ears as if you were smiling broadly, and repeat 20 times. This exercise helps improve the appearance of the jowl.
  • Put yourself in front of a mirror so that you can see your neck, jaw and throat muscles working.
  • Lift your chin, open your mouth and stick out your tongue, trying to get the tip of your tongue to touch your chin, and hold the contraction with your tongue extended for three to five seconds and then withdraw your tongue and turn your head to the normal position.
  • Repeat this exercise about five or ten times, several times a day.
