In theory, when you exercise consistently and correctly, you see results in the form of a leaner, tighter, stronger body. Why else would we shell out money for expensive gym memberships or take crazy classes that leave us in a puddle of sweat and tears? Science (and Instagram’s #beforeafter hashtag) has proven that exercise can transform our bodies, but what if we told you it could also change your skin? While experts have suggested that they do cause improvements, the long-term benefits of facial exercises have not been scientifically proven. The idea of facial exercises is simple: Just like you would work out your thighs to make them firmer, facial exercise is founded on the belief that working out your face muscles will tone, lift, and boost volume. We spoke with holistic skincare expert Julie Lindh and board-certified dermatologist Brooke Jackson about exactly how facial exercises work and more importantly, how to do it ourselves. (Warning: Do not attempt in public spaces if you’d like to retain a sense of dignity).
