Tighten up your face with Facial Toning Exercises

By Denise Richards

Once you reach a certain age, you may hate the fact that your skin is no longer as tight and firm as it used to be. You may have decided that facial toning is the way to go and you need to learn what your options are in order to pick the one that is best for you. Your choices all come down to three methods: the use of cosmetic products, the use of non surgical toning methods, and the use of surgery to make your skin tighter and more toned.

Although there are hundreds of toning products on the market, the majority all use the same action to achieve their results. They use different products to either repair broken collagen bonds or to encourage the skin to form newer, stronger bonds and this both firms and tones the skin. Collagen bonds are at their highest levels when we are younger and our skin is the most toned and supple. Whenever possible you need to research the ingredients in your products and lean towards those which have natural ingredients rather than large amounts of chemicals and possible toxins.

If you are interested in non surgical methods you should know that they use ultrasound or radio frequency waves in order to increase collagen, which tones the skin. Thermage is one example of these kinds of procedures, and one which uses radiofrequency waves rather than ultrasound technology. It works by heating the skin. In response to the heating effect, the body creates new collagen bonds and this makes the skin much more toned. You can also use facial muscle exercises to strengthen the muscles and the majority of these exercises include making strange facial expressions.

Although surgery is a big step, a full or partial face lift are toning methods that many people are ready and willing to use. If you only have isolated areas that need toning, a partial face lift may be possible. When undergoing face lifts, excess skin is cut away and the skin is toned as a result. The surgeon will also often cut loose facial methods and tighten them at the same time. There are benefits to a face lift but you need to know that there can also be serious side effects especially after repeated face lifts.

Picking the best facial toning method for you is very important. You may hate loose skin but love a tight and toned appearance. Learning about the side effects that can result from any product or procedure can help to keep you keep as healthy and as beautiful looking as possible. - 30516
