How to Give Yourself an Eye Lift

Just as exercise tones and revitalizes our waist, tummy, arms, hips and thighs, exercising your face using isometric and resistance techniques will create a youthful, rejuvenated appearance. Here is a simple three-step exercise for you to use at home that will easily lift your upper eyes and smooth your forehead.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Fingers, thumbs and a pair of white cotton gloves.

1. Step One Relax your eyebrow area and then place the three middle fingers of each hand directly under your eyebrows.
   
   Drop the palms of your hands flat against your face.
   
   
   With the pads of your fingertips directly under your eyebrows, push your eyebrows upwards and slightly outwards.
2. Step Two Hold your eyebrows in this position with your eyes open.
   
   Slowly push your eyebrows down against your fingertips while holding your eyebrows high, and hold the contraction for five (5) seconds.
3. Step Three Remove your hands from your face.
   
   
   
   
   Breathe in deeply through your nose, and exhale through your nose.
   Repeat the exercise again. This time hold the contraction for ten (10) seconds. At the seventh second, close your eyes, keeping your eyebrows held high.
   
   
   Remove your hands from your face. Breathe in deeply through your nose, and exhale through your nose. Begin again, hold the contraction for ten (10) seconds and close your eyes at the seventh second. Repeat the movement again so that you have exercised for a total of thirty-five (35) seconds.
   
   * Perform this exercise once a day, six days in a row. Take one day off and continue for another six days. Exercise needs to be continued for ongoing results.

Tips & Warnings

• This exercise lifts the eye brows and begins to "awaken" your forehead, concentrating on the area above your eyebrows to the hairline. Initially, you may see a line develop over your brow when you first perform this exercise; this line is a clear indication that your forehead has lost firmness and needs exercise right now to keep it from continuing its downward slide. Think about the rest of your face and imagine that you can give yourself a more youthful appearance, privately, without ever leaving home. It`s as easy as 1 – 2 – 3.
