The Best Facial Exercises For Eyes

By Ines Flores


Everyone hopes to age gracefully with minimal damage to their face caused by wrinkling and drooping. Skin loses its elasticity over time and one of the first noticeable places this happens is around the eyes. Expensive creams, fillers, Botox and cosmetic surgery are viable solutions for some people but not everyone can afford to be this extravagant. The alternate and far more natural solution is facial exercises for eyes.

Wrinkling that appears in the form of crow's feet or laugh lines on the side of your face near the temple can be caused by several sources. Squinting is by far the most common and the worst source of these deep lines. People squint when they are in the sun without sun glasses, when they smoke or when reading in poor light. Other causes are excessive exposure to the sun while working or playing and sleeping on the face.

Learning how to move the muscles in your face properly can help to stop and in some cases improve the appearance of laugh lines, bags, dark circles and drooping lids. These eye aerobics are not easy to learn but using a mirror when beginning them will help to perfect your technique. Repeating eye muscle movements twice daily will provide results over time.

When you decide to begin following this regimen it is important to remember that a moisturizer needs to be used. The skin surrounding your eye is very delicate area and can be damaged if rubbed or stretched roughly. Moisturizers help to replace the elasticity and protect fragile areas. Some people suggest using water in place of moisturizer to help ease the possibility of slipping fingers.

Eye tapping is one form of exercising this area. This exercise helps to reduce puffiness around the eye by stimulating blood flow to the area. Using the pad of your fingers begin tapping in the corner of your eye nearest the nose. Gently tap the area just under the eye working to the outer edge near the temple and back again five to ten times for each eye.

Tension and stress will cause wrinkling in your face. To relieve tension from the eye area the technique that works best is to gently pinch the skin on either side of your brow and massage the stress out of it. To help remove existing wrinkles placing a finger on each side of the wrinkle and gently applying pressure for ten second intervals five times daily.

Probably the most intense exercise you will find involves sitting in front of your mirror and attempting to raise the lower lid of your eye in small increments. You may want to hold the upper lid in place when you are learning to do this. The goal is to reach five stages of closure for the lower lids. This exercise will challenge your strength and determination while perfecting the technique but the long term results should make it worth the effort you have put into it.

Any daily regimen takes dedication from participants. This may be the easiest and least expensive solution to eye wrinkles you can find.
