Firm Lips With Facial Exercises
If your lips have lost their fullness since your youth, you may be searching out new lip plumping lipsticks, colors that give the illusion of firm lips or even collagen injections to help reclaim those lips you used to have. However, if you create an exercise regimen for your lips, you can naturally firm them up for no cost at all.
Instructions
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Release your lips muscles and let your lips come back together naturally. Now smile as wide as you can with your lips closed. Hold the smile as you count to five.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Repeat Steps 2 though 6 at least three times to complete your exercise session.
