The scalp and the face are made up of 10 groups of muscles. These groups appear on the forehead, around the eyes, in the cheeks, around the lips, within the chin and finally in the neck.

Sagging face:If the muscles are not toned via exercise the face will sag and portray an older look. Toned muscles give the face a natural lift , smoother skin, a younger look and an overall brigther appearance.

Simple facial exercises
Exercise your face for 5 - 10 minutes each day. These exercises should be done facing a mirror.

Face tapping: Tap 20 times on each dot with the pads of your middle fingers. From the bridge of your nose work out along your eyebrows, then in round the top of your cheekbone.

Tap up from the sides of your mouth to each inner eye. Then out from the chin along the jawline to each ear. Make sharp, light, very quick taps as if you are testing a very hot iron.

Eyes massage: Attempt to raise your lower eyelids without moving your upper lids. Easier said than done. But a great defense against crows feet. Repeat 10 times.

Ear massage: With index fingers and thumbs, hold the top rim of your ears and pull upwards. Massage, making small circles between fingers and thumb. Move down all round the rim of the ears, pulling ears out gently and massaging.

When you reach the lobes, pull them down slightly and massage for about one minute. Repeat this sequence if you have time. Then, with small, quick circular movements, massage all the crevices and spirals of the ear. Use the surface of the nails of your index fingers, or the pads of your middle fingers

Lips: Place the tip (up to the first joint) of your index finger in your mouth. Suck it as hard as possible. Slowly pull your finger from your mouth, Repeat 10 times.

Throat massage: Put the fingers of one hand on one side of your throat and the thumb on the other. Make rapid circular motions up and down the throat. Repeat with the other hand.

Hair massage: With pads of your fingertips, massage in small circles all along the front of your scalp for atleast 30 seconds. Then take large fistfuls of hair and gently pull upwards. Now clench your hands into fists and lightly pound your scalp about 20 times.

Exercise your mouth: looking into the mirror. Open your mouth quite wide, as if about to yawn. Pull in the sides to form an oval. Now curve your lips over teeth. Then slowly to the count of ten, close your lips until they are about 1.5cm (1/2in) apart. You will feel an upward pull. Release very slowly.
