Main mistakes

Facial muscle training is painstaking and hard work. When performing exercises, it is important not to make major mistakes to achieve the desired result. Among the main mistakes during gymnastics for the face from wrinkles are the following:

• Conducting strength training for the face every day. With excessive zeal, muscle cramps appear, which adversely affects the female face;
• Lack of relaxing gymnastics. At the end of each exercise, the muscles of the face should relax and rest;
• Intensive exercise. Do not think that the more hard you do muscle training, the more effective the result. This is not true. If you have facial muscles, you won’t do it yourself;
• Performing exercises with a face in makeup. Before any muscle training, you should cleanse your face from cosmetics and moisturize it to avoid microtrauma;
• Performing exercises without a mirror. It’s important to keep track of the sequence in which you are doing the exercises so as not to make a mistake.

If you follow all the rules for performing gymnastics for the face against wrinkles, then you can smooth them out. Do not expect quick results, everything has its time.
