What are the four most
popular exercises?
THE OWL
Make a big C shape with your thumb and index fingers.
Place your index finger just above and parallel to your
eyebrows and your thumbs on your cheeks. Start to
pull down with the index fingers while trying to raise
your eyebrows and making the eyes wide. Hold for two
seconds, relax and repeat again. Now do three more
times. Then hold this position for ten seconds. This will
firm up the forehead, reducing lines and wrinkles.
CIRCLE THE EYES
First place your middle fingers at the beginning of your
eyebrows. Start to gently tap around your eyes following
the top of your eyebrow and then continue under your
eye just at the top of your cheekbones. Then continue to
the inside corners of your eye. Then repeat, going in the
opposite direction, making little tapping motions. This
is great for reducing eye wrinkles, boosting circulation
and relaxing the muscles. Then with your index fingers
very gently stroke just under your eyes from the nose
outwards four times to warm up and relax the eye area.
This helps to reduce bags and pu
ness under the eyes
by removing toxins and increasing blood flow and
oxygen to the area.
SWAN NECK
Begin looking straight ahead with your chin level. Turn
your head to the right so that it is even with your right
shoulder and then tilt your head backwards. Hold for
six to eight seconds. Return your head to the forward
position with your chin level. Turn your head to the left,
even with your left shoulder. Tilt your head back and
hold for six to eight seconds - repeat up to three times.
This lifts and tones the neck muscles therefore firming
lines and wrinkles on the side of the neck and face.
GIRAFFE
Looking straight ahead place your finger tips on the top
of your neck and lightly stroke the skin down as you
tilt your head back. Bring your head back down and
repeat twice more. Then jut your lower lip out as far
as possible, place your fingers on your collarbone and
point your chin upwards, pulling the corners of your
mouth down. Hold for 4 deep breaths. This releases
neck tension, tones and lift the neck area.
