Reducing laugh lines involves strengthening facial muscles and improving skin elasticity. Here are some simple exercises you can try:
- Orbicularis Oris Exercise:
- Target the orbicularis oris muscle, which controls puckering and mouth closure. FYI: It's the muscle that surrounds your mouth.
- Hook the corners of your mouth with your index fingers.
- Pull out slightly from the resting position.
- Apply resistance with your fingers and use your mouth muscles to tighten the corners toward each other.
- Hold for 5-10 seconds, then relax. Repeat 10-25 times.
- Cheek Strengthening:
- Use the tips of your index fingers to apply pressure to the laugh lines around your mouth.
- Smile as wide as possible while keeping your lips separated.
- Hold the smile for 5-10 seconds, then relax. Aim for 15-30 reps.
- Smiling Exercise:
- Partially separate your lips.
- Pull the corners of your mouth back toward your face.
- Hold for about 10 seconds, then relax. Repeat 10-25 times.
- Full Smile:
- Strengthen the muscles around your mouth.
- Smile widely to engage these muscles.
- Repeat several times to help tighten laugh lines or follow Lisa's anti-aging facial Paloties routine below.
