Aging is a common natural process which can be delayed, if not prevented completely, by age retarding facial exercises. Exercising save you’re the trouble of going for expensive cosmetic surgery which can also be painful and may not provide the desired results.
These exercises if done systematically and consistently can help remove aging effects like muscle atrophy and make you look younger.

The other advantage is that you can perform these exercises at home or anywhere by using an anti-aging face roller whenever you find it convenient. The benefits are immense as you can look and feel good as you age.
Here are some simple exercises that help to rejuvenate your facial skin and tissues as facial skin is the first to show signs of aging.

• Chewing a gum is a recommended anti aging facial exercise of the cheeks. The repeated motion will help in tightening your cheeks.
• Age retarding exercise for lips requires you to push your lips out and make a round shape, stretching them forward in the process. Now smile as wide as possible, hold for a second and resume the round shape again. This needs to be repeated 10 times a day.
• For the eyes, shutting them tightly and then opening them as wide as you can, helps in relaxation of the eyes.
