[Instagram 880K views!] Nasolabial folds disappear so much it’s shocking! 2-minute fascia release

You’ve probably heard the term “fascia release” at least once.

After massaging both sides of your nose, next gently rock back and forth under the cheekbones to loosen the area.

Then press firmly with your thumbs on the outermost cheek muscles to release them.

As you relax the muscles across your entire face like this, you may find yourself naturally smiling.

Facial sagging improvement & prevention exercisesNEW!

Secret exercises to improve and prevent facial sagging: Easy at-home massage to say goodbye to an aged look and achieve a youthful face, explained

When your face sags, your expression can look gloomy and it just isn’t fun, right? For people like that, I recommend this exercise to reduce facial sagging.

First, lift your head and press around the base of your neck and along the edges of your face to improve circulation.

Also, while keeping your head lifted, shape your mouth like saying “u,” and tilt your head to the left and right.

By doing this kind of stretch—lifting the head combined with movements you don’t usually make—you can reduce facial sagging, so if you’re concerned, please give it a try.

Taking photos before and after may help boost your motivation.

Older adults tend to cough or choke more often as they age.

To help prevent this, let’s move the muscles around the face.

Start by tilting your head forward and backward to stretch the muscles, and massage under the chin with your fingers.

This will relieve muscle tension and help your body relax.

Next, strengthen the muscles around the mouth with tongue movements and vocal exercises.

Doing these before meals is effective, so please remember them and incorporate them into your daily routine.

When practicing vocal exercises in crowded places, it’s recommended to wear a mask.

Gymnastics with face rock-paper-scissors

For seniors: Mouth movement exercises [Moriya City, Ibaraki Prefecture]

We’d like to introduce “face rock-paper-scissors,” which also helps train facial muscles and stimulates the brain.

Decide facial expressions that match the shapes of rock, scissors, and paper.

For example, for rock, you can close your eyes, purse your lips, and puff out your cheeks to form the shape with your face.

It’s fun to think up “rock, scissors, paper” together with older adults.

It could become an original, personalized version of face rock-paper-scissors.

Playing it normally will likely be lively, but we also recommend the “after-the-fact” version.

First, a staff member makes one of rock, scissors, or paper with their face, and then the older adults respond with a facial expression that “wins” or “loses” accordingly.

Thinking about which face to make helps activate the brain.
