Sit with your spine aligned and your feet flat on the floor to prepare for a lip exercise session. Place your hands comfortably in your lap and breathe deeply for a minute or so to fully relax your muscles and encourage maximum blood circulation. As you breathe, consciously relax all of your facial muscles. Focus especially on releasing your jaw.

Open your mouth as wide as possible, stretching your lips as far as you can. Hold the stretch for a count of ten and then relax your muscles. Repeat three times.

Draw your tips together as tightly as you can. To get the most benefit, make sure your jaw muscles aren't assisting in this movement. Move your pursed lips upwards towards your nose and hold them at their maximum stretch as you count to five.

Bring your lips from the smile to a pucker, as if you're going to give someone a kiss on his cheek. Reach your lips outward, as if that cheek you want to kiss isn't quite close enough. Hold this position for five counts.

Relax your puckered lips back to your face and now move them upwards towards your nose. This time, allow the pucker to relax as you move your lips upwards, rather than pursing your lips as you did in Step 3.

Tips & Warnings
Repeat your lip exercises a few times a week or even every day to start seeing results.
Develop good habits with your lips for the best results with your lip exercise regimen. Keep them relaxed when you're not using them to speak or express an emotion. Habitually pursing, puckering or stretching lips can lead to wrinkles and other changes in appearance.
