Do You Even (Face) Lift, Bro? Exercises for Your Cheeks and Jaw

Get fit to face the world with these facial exercises. A well-rounded physical fitness routine is a key component to living a healthy lifestyle. But we typically neglect to work out the very muscles people see the most - our faces. Just like the rest of your body, the more than 57 muscles in your face and neck require exercise to stay toned and fit. These simple facial exercises can help you strengthen facial muscles, get a slim face, and even combat signs of aging.

The Brow-Raiser

If you want: Lifted brows

Perform this facial exercise regularly to keep your brows up where they belong:

1. Put your index and middle fingers together in a closed peace sign
2. Rest your fingernails over your brows and gently push the skin down
3. Lift your brows up and down, while creating resistance with the weight of your fingernails
4. Repeat 10 times
5. Complete 6 sets

Tip: Add FOREO's IRIS™2 to your face workout to target signs of aging around the eye contour.

The Cheekbone Lift

If you want: Defined cheekbones  

We weren’t all blessed with Angelina-Jolie-as-Maleficent cheekbones, but facial exercise can help you get a little closer. Trade-in flabby, fat cheeks for defined cheekbones by following these steps:

1. Place your fingers over each cheekbone
2. Gently lift the skin until taut
3. Open your mouth to form an elongated “O”; you should feel resistance in your cheek muscles
4. Hold for 5 seconds
5. Complete 10-15 sets

The Chipmunk Cheek Squeeze

If you want: A slim face 

Sculpt fat cheeks and an excuse to make a fish face over and over again? Sign us up. Here’s how to lose those acorn-storage pouches:

1. Tilt your head all the way back and push your chin forward
2. Suck your cheeks in as much as possible
3. Hold for 5 seconds
4. Complete 10-15 sets

The Jaw Flex

If you want: A toned jawline  

A double chin can make you look heavier and older than you really are. Trim face fat and get a more defined look with this face workout:

1. Tilt your head back until you’re looking at the ceiling
2. Move your lower lip over your upper lip as far as you can; you should feel this in the jaw muscles near your ears
3. Hold for 10 seconds
4. Complete 10-15 sets

The Puffer Fish Press

If you want: Wrinkle-free nasolabial folds  

This facial exercise will help reduce the very un-funny appearance of laugh lines around your mouth. Here’s how:

1. Close your mouth and puff up your cheeks
2. Move the air from one cheek to the other
3. Repeat for 30 seconds

Just like you should use a foam roller after a normal workout, use the anti-aging side of your LUNA™ 4 to massage away any tension after your facial exercises.

Women's Day Deals: Up to 50% off with code WOMAN

 (Feb 23 - Mar 11)

Why should you even pay attention to FOREO & FAQ's Women's Day deals (besides the huge deals)? This is why:

Sit still, be quiet, smile, you're prettier when you smile, be smart, play dumb, be sexy, don't be vulgar, get it all, apologize for ambition, are you gona eat all of this, I like it waxed, enjoy food, nothing tastes as good as skinny feels, educate yourself, earn, pay more for pink, carry a pepper spray, you can do it all alone... That's the narrative of binary messages our society blasts at women. Be everything to everyone as you lose your mind, a footnote in your own story, with main character energy wasted on checking boxes you never agreed to. And we do it to other women, too. 

Aren't you tired of being told who to be, what to want, how to look, and what to do, of judging and getting judged? It's ok to do things just how you want, to not have to/or want to explain yourself, to be "maladjusted", to not want to smile, be touched, or talked to. Show up however you choose and acknowledge other women doing the same - messy hair, emotional-support bunny slippers, cake stains on our gym clothes, and all. Work hard and rest when you need to, be kind to yourself and others, set boundaries for those who are not kind back, and aim for balance rather than impossible balancing acts.

This one is for all who are tired of pretending to care about what someone thinks, all who've been through enough to know their own worth, and those who are making their dream life a reality one decision at a time. Enjoy celebratory FOREO and FAQ™ devices and skincare, and use the code WOMAN from Feb 23 - Mar 11 to get up to 50% off exclusive bundles, individual devices, and skincare items. Enjoy your day, your way, and enjoy living in your skin!

HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY
