Did you know 91% of women are unhappy with some aspect of their bodies?
If you’re frustrated by sagging skin around your neck, you’re not alone.
With so many Americans frustrated by their physical appearance, it’s no wonder that invasive treatments like Botox and plastic surgery are on the rise. But if you’d rather avoid the sky-high costs and risks that come with joining the plastic brigade, there is a solution.
In fact, you can enjoy a natural neck lift without stepping foot outside your home.
Having supported over 300,000 women to enjoy younger, firmer, smoother skin we know a thing or two about life-changing transformations. So we’ll share 4 of our most popular non-surgical neck lift exercises with you right now.
Why Does Your Neck Skin Sag in the First Place?
Wondering why your neck skin seems to be sagging more than your cheeks, jawline, or forehead?
This comes down to the way your body is put together. The major muscles running down the side of your neck are not supported by bones like the muscles in your face. With less structure, it takes less change in firmness and strength for your neck skin to sag.
As neck muscles naturally weaken over time, skin falls victim to gravity and sags down – but there is good news!
No one wants to wear scarves 365 days a year to hide their neck (even if you look amazing in scarves), but you can exercise the major neck muscles (and surrounding muscles) to restore tone and help reverse the signs of aging.
And we’ll show you how!
4 Exercises to Enjoy a Neck Lift (Without Surgery)
At Face Yoga, we support all women and men wanting to look and feel like their best selves.
However, turning to surgery for a neck lift is a serious investment of time and money. Throw in the risk of facial asymmetry, nerve damage, loss of feeling, and scarring and it’s no wonder more and more people are looking for non-surgical neck lift options.
Although the signs of aging can appear on the face and neck, that doesn’t mean they have to stay there.
Start practicing the following 4 neck-lifting exercises and track your progress over the coming weeks and months. In just 15 to 20 minutes per day, you’ll be shocked at the results. Or, check out even MORE neck-tightening exercises from Face Yoga.
Neck Lift Exercise #1 – The Tongue Press
Your tongue is made up of 8 muscles and you can use every one of them to help lift and firm your neck (and look years younger).
Here’s how you master this simple Face Yoga pose:
- Tilt your head back until you’re staring at the ceiling
- Press your tongue against the roof of your mouth
- Lower your chin to your chest while keeping your tongue pressed against the roof of your mouth
This simple repetition will provide resistance that tightens and tones the underworked muscles around your jawline and neck. As these muscles regain firmness, the outer layer of skin will become taut and tight.
Repetitions: Repeat this facial exercise 15 to 20 times.
Neck Lift Exercise #2 – The Swan
Think about the most graceful necks in the animal kingdom and it’s tough to go past the swan.
So we’ve used these gorgeous creatures as inspiration for our next at-home Face Yoga pose.
This pose works by tightening muscles below the jawline. This counters the effect of sagging and loose skin that many women encounter over time.
Here’s how you perform this facial exercise:
- Turn your head upwards and to the left, at a 45-degree angle
- Pucker your lips like you’re giving a kiss and move it to the left
- Hold the tension you’ll feel in the right side of your neck (but don’t strain)
- Hold this resistance for 5 seconds then return to the center
- Repeat while looking upwards and to the right
This neck-lifting exercise is super simple but super effective.
Repetitions: Repeat this facial exercise 15 to 20 times.
Neck Lift Exercise #3 – The Frowning Face
You’ll have plenty to smile about after mastering this Face Yoga pose, but for now, we need you to embrace a frown and use it to eliminate sagging skin and rejuvenate your neck. You’ll want to find somewhere comfortable for this exercise, as well as somewhere private (the faces you’ll pull can be a little scary, but the results are well worth it).
Here’s what you’ll need to do:
- Pull your lips back to reveal your teeth
- Next, frown as hard as you can (without causing pain or overt discomfort)
- Once you feel the tendons in your neck straining, slowly open and close your mouth
Repetitions: Repeat this facial exercise 20 times.
Neck Lift Exercise #4- The Ceiling Kiss
Pucker up, because the final facial exercise for a smooth and sexy neck involves those gorgeous lips of yours.
Don’t worry, we won’t make you kiss anyone for this pose, but you will need to blow kisses to the ceiling, so find somewhere comfortable to sit then follow these steps:
- Tilt your head up until you’re staring at the ceiling
- Make an exaggerated kissing movement
- Be sure to extend your lips as far as possible to create tension in your neck
Repetitions: Repeat this facial exercise 20 times.
