Will Facial Exercises Lift My Skin?

LEADING SKINCARE MYTHS MYTH: Facial exercises will lift my skin. FACT: You can’t really fight gravity. The more you make the same facial movements, the deeper your lines become. Every time the forty-four muscles in your face contract and relax, they create all sorts of facial movements. Since these muscles are attached to the skin, every time they move—when you speak, eat, laugh, or cry – your skin moves, too. Therefore, exercising your facial muscles will most likely accentuate your wrinkles.
