The skin on the face needs daily care and cosmetic procedures because it is more sensitive and thinner than on other parts of the body. Only muscles that maintain its tone can guarantee firm, elastic facial skin. Like other muscle groups located throughout the human body, the facial muscles also need regular physical activity. Face building is a natural, completely free way to prevent facial aging and fill it with a healthy glow.
Facebook building: all the pros and cons (benefits, harms of gymnastics)
First, let’s define what Facebook building is. Facebuilding is a practice aimed at training the muscles of the face, neck and décolleté, combined with their massage. The concept is similar in meaning and functionality to bodybuilding (body building). Facebuilding combines facial exercises of varying levels of complexity, performed at home.
The facial muscles are the smallest in size, due to this they are quickly amenable to training. Moreover, the effect of training is noticeable on the thin skin of the face more than in any other part of the body.
Let's figure out whether face-building helps to effectively correct age-related defects and preserve youth for many years.
The benefits of Facebook building, its advantages
- Correction of facial contour using natural methods;
This gymnastics restores the necessary tone to the muscles of the face and neck. At the same time, it is completely painless due to muscle efforts, without resorting to anesthesia, surgical interventions and other unpleasant moments.
- Prevention and reduction of existing wrinkles;
During exercises in combination with massage, there is intensive blood supply and skin nutrition. The facial cells of the upper layer of skin are regenerated, which visually transforms the appearance, filling it with energy.
- Restoring freshness and healthy complexion;
Effective exercise during training increases the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood through the capillaries. This allows you to get rid of bags and dark circles under the eyes in a short period of time. Additionally, this is an excellent prevention of skin sagging.
- Health safety;
Non-ecological hardware techniques, subcutaneous injections, and surgical plastic surgery can cause complications, but face building is relatively harmless and does not have serious contraindications.
- Obtaining a quick visible result, which is noticeable after seven days of regular exercise;
- Saving;
Unlike expensive cosmetic procedures, gymnastics can be done at home, standing in front of a mirror, or in any convenient place for free. No machines or additional equipment are required to perform these exercises - this is another significant argument.
- Relaxing areas of high muscle tension such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the eyes, mouth, cheekbones;
- Rapid rehabilitation for facial neuromuscular palsy.
From another point of view, there is a negative side to any theory or practice. This technique has skeptics and opponents who insist on the negative effect of gymnastics.
Disadvantages or what harm Facebook building can cause
- Intensive exercise can pump up muscles that are already in hypertonicity due to emotional psychological reactions, thereby aggravating problems in appearance.
In this regard, methods that use muscle relaxation and normalize their tone are less dangerous: Revitonics, Osmionics, Faceforming and Cantienics.
In addition, like any practice, face building has contraindications for practice in certain cases.
Contraindications
- If there are bacterial or fungal infections of the face and neck;
- If the function of the immune system is reduced;
- When there are open wounds on the skin;
- After recent surgical procedures to tighten the skin, as well as after laser skin resurfacing;
- For various dermatological diseases of the face;
- In the presence of severe rashes, acne (gymnastics can aggravate the situation);
In other cases, it is allowed to practice using this method. Facebuilding does not involve any complex manipulations, so it can be done even during pregnancy.
Skin care tips
In addition to gymnastics and massage treatments, it is important to properly care for the delicate skin of the neck and face.
- Every day, tone your skin with ice cubes made from herbal infusion. This will give your face a fresh look and blush. Ice perfectly prevents facial wrinkles.
- When using the cream, do not rub it on the skin or stretch it. It is much more effective to apply the cosmetic product with your fingertips using patting movements.
- Do not rub your face with a towel after washing, pat lightly - this will be enough.

Facial massages and skincare treatments.
Myofascial, buccal, Japanese, Spanish, French, hardware and many, many other types of massage, a huge variety of moisturizing, nourishing, lifting cosmetic procedures stand guard over the youth and beauty of the face. There is no need to study training systems, buy webinars, or perform daily manipulations of contraction, relaxation, “combing,” and stretching. You can simply trust a specialist. However, all these wonderful procedures are effective only in one case - you need to go to them.
Injection cosmetology (fillers, botulinum toxins, mesothreads) requires a highly qualified doctor and is not possible for home use. Among the undeniable advantages are the ability to hide something and embellish something, as well as low time costs.
Thus, there is a large selection of methods and means of preserving the youth of the face, its beauty and attractiveness. There is no panacea for this. What to prefer? “Pump” the muscles or relax, prick or massage? The answer is surprisingly simple. Do something! Your face needs attention. Give him as much attention as possible.
In fact, these methods are not antagonistic. They have one goal - to keep their face young for as long as possible. Each person has individual characteristics. Every person has age characteristics. As well as the characteristics of the habitat, nutrition and others. A competent cosmetologist can take them all into account and draw up a life plan for preserving youth. But the implementation of the plan depends entirely on you! Are you ready to do gymnastics and work out emotional tensions every day - face-building and revitonics will help you! If you notice that the situation is developing according to the fitness subscription scheme (there is a subscription, but there is no fitness), come to the cosmetology clinic more often. Specialists will do everything for you.
And be sure to remember that the main decoration of the face is a kind smile! Now add to her a proud posture, a graceful gait and sparkling eyes and get ready to receive compliments!

What is a double chin and what are the causes of a double chin?
With a decrease in the elasticity of the dermis in the neck area and a significant weakening of the neck muscles, the layer of subcutaneous fat begins to rapidly increase. The muscles become unable to support the skin - it sags, which threatens local fat deposition.
The reasons for the appearance of a double chin may be related to age-related changes, excess weight, genetics and other factors. Let's take a closer look at why a double chin appears!
- Overweight
In most cases, a double chin appears simultaneously with weight gain. The fatty layers deposited in the cervical-mental area have an interesting feature - they accumulate quickly, but disappear extremely slowly.
The solution to the problem is to lose weight, but you need to lose weight “smartly.” The usual food restrictions will be powerless here - there is a high probability that with intensive weight loss, the fat will go away, and the skin in the problem area will simply sag.
It is necessary to add physical exercise to your diet. Special gymnastics for the cervical-chin area or yoga will be effective.
- Genetic predisposition
A double chin may be a consequence of a person's genetic characteristics. If most of your relatives have had a similar problem, then you are definitely at risk.
Don’t despair: you can prevent the appearance of a chin with the help of gymnastic exercises and cosmetic preventive measures. The first method involves daily tapping the chin with the back of your hand (twice a day for 2-3 minutes). The second is the use of special cosmetic products aimed at preventing the appearance of fatty deposits.
- Age-related changes
Over time, the neck muscles become weak, the dermis loses its firmness and elasticity, and the collagen network becomes thinner. Age-related changes are a natural and irreversible process. Gymnastics and special cosmetic beauty products, which will be discussed further, are designed to prevent the premature appearance of a double chin.
- Disturbances in the functioning of the thyroid gland
With a rapid increase in the volume of the cervical-mental area, it is worth checking the condition of the thyroid gland. To do this, it is enough to do an ultrasound of the organ and pass several hormonal tests, which are prescribed by an endocrinologist.
- Incorrect posture
In 90% of cases, a curved spine will lead to the appearance of a double chin by the age of 40-50. The deformation process may accelerate because The modern world dictates its conditions - we expose the problem area to additional stress when we lower our heads when using a smartphone or computer.
The main thing here is preventative measures. Remember that you need to keep your back and head straight, and devote about 5 minutes a day to walking with a book on your head.
