Face neck exercises are somewhat of a new concept to many people. Even if they are aware of the benefits of exercise for the rest of the body, many ignore or don't realize the beneficial results for keeping the muscles in the face and neck toned and flexible. Sagging skin, wrinkles, bags under the eyes? All of these may be improved or prevented with some simple, regular workouts for that forgotten area above the shoulders!

Face fitness can include exercising several areas, from the eyes and forehead to the cheeks, lips, and neck. Although moisturizers and creams may help fight wrinkles, these areas often sag and look tired because the muscle tone is so bad. As a double chin and sagging neck skin often give away a person's age the quickest, exercising these muscles can keep you looking younger and even lighter in weight (as many often mistake a double or triple chin as excess fat, not poor muscle tone).

Here is some useful advice for making your neck and throat look better: A very simple exercise is sitting upright and leaning your head back while looking at the ceiling, next you have to pretend to chew without your mouth closed. You must do this move about 20 times a day to start seeing great results soon.

Another of the effective and beneficial face neck exercises is to lie on your back on your bed. With your head resting over the edge, slowly bring your head up toward your body and hold it for 10 seconds. Then, relax and put your head back down over the edge. Again, if you'll repeat 5 times or more per day, you'll soon see more tone and definition in a sagging or double chin.

One of the easiest exercises for your lips is sitting upright with your head looking to the front. Positioning your lips and teeth together, smile as much as you can and hold it for 5 seconds. While your relax, purse your lips to a kissing position and hold it for another 5 seconds. Do this at least 10 times a day.
