Recommendations to lose the face fat

Do any of you know how to lose your face fat? My face gets the weight before any other part of my body for some reason. If you have any special exercises for the face muscles please help.

Fat in the facial area is hard to remove but can be done without liposuction or plastic surgery. The results are slow but there are no scars. I did a search and came up with the following exercises that may help you. Most people would like the fat to stay in the face as it keeps you younger looking by eliminating wrinkles and crows feet.



EYES

Sit with eyes closed and relaxed. Keeping your eyes closed look down and then look up as far as possible. Repeat the facial exercise 10 times.

Sit upright with eyes closed and relaxed. Keeping your eyes closed, lift your eyebrows and stretching your eyelids down as far as possible. Keep in this position for 5 counts, relax and repeat 5 times.

Sit upright with eyes relaxed and open. Lift your eyebrows while closing your top eyelids until about halfway closed, then open your eyelid wide open until the white of your eye shows over your iris.

Sit upright looking with eyes open. Look up then down, while keeping your head still. Repeat 10 times. Then look left and right - repeat 10 times.

FOREHEAD

Frown as much as possible and try to bring your eyebrows over your eyes while pulling the eyebrows toward one another. Then lift your eyebrow as far as possible while opening your eyes as far as possible as well. Repeat 5 times.

Lie on a bed with your head hanging over the edge. Lift your eyebrows as high as possible, with your eyes opening very wide. Relax and repeat 10 times.

Sit upright and while bringing your eyebrows down over your eyes, wrinkle your nose as far up as possible while flaring your nostrils. Keep for a count of 10, relax and repeat 5 times.

NECK

Sit upright, tilt your head back looking at the ceiling, lips closed and then start a chewing movement. Repeat chewing motion 20 times.

Sit upright, tilt your head back looking at the ceiling, lips closed and relaxed. Start puckering your lips together in a kiss and stretch the kiss, as if you were trying to kiss the ceiling. Keep your lips puckered for 10 counts, relax, bring your head back to normal and repeat 5 times.

Sit upright, tilt your head back looking at the ceiling, lips closed and relaxed. Open your lips and stick your tongue out as if you were trying to touch your chin with the tips of your tongue. Keep your tongue out in this position for 10 counts, and return your tongue and head to its normal position.

Sit upright, tilt your head back looking at the ceiling, lips closed and relaxed. Move your lower lip over your top lip as far as possible and keep it there for a count of 5. Relax and repeat 5 times.

Sit upright and keep lips together, separate your teeth by dropping your jaw and then push your jaw forward, keep for a count of 10, bring back to starting position and repeat 5 times.
Sit upright, lips closed and teeth together. Smile as broadly as possible, without opening your lips, keep it there for 5 counts and when relaxing starts puckering your lips in a pointed kiss. Keep it there for 5 counts and relax - repeat 10 times.

Sit relaxed with lips hardly opened and curl your lips outwards. While your lips are in the outward position, move your curled top lip towards your nose. Hold in this position for 10 counts and repeat 5 times.

Have a relaxed smile with your lips closed and then suck in your cheeks toward and on to your teeth. Hold this for 10 counts, relax and repeat 10 times. Look in a mirror while doing this exercise. Pout your top lip, turning the corners of your lips upwards and move your cheek muscles towards your eyes. You should at this stage try to get your top lip touching your nose. Keep in this position for 10 counts, relax and repeat 5 times.

Look in a mirror while doing this exercise. Smile a wide as possible - while keeping your lips closed and your mouth corners turned up. Try to make your mouth corners touch your ears. Next wrinkle your nose and see your cheek muscle move upwards and feel these muscles work. Keep for 5 counts, relax and repeat 10 times.

Keep your teeth and lips closed and blow air under your top lip and keep it there for 10 counts, then move the air to your left cheek side, hold for 10, to your lower lip, hold for 10 and then to your right cheek side while holding it for a count of 10. Repeat 5 times.

LIPS

Sit uprights and purse your lips together. Lift your pursed lips towards your nose and keep it there for 5 counts, relax and repeat 5 times.

Pucker your lips slightly and then try with your mouth muscles to bring the corners of your mouth together as close as possible. Keep lips in this position for 5 counts, relax and repeat 5 times.

Good luck and post back.

I've found in my own yo-yo body that when I start to gain my face gets it 1st and when I start to lose it seems my face looses it 1st also.

I've pretty much given up on fad diets and have been doing pretty good at portion control and trying to stay on the healthy side.

Spot reduction of fat is not possible without artificial removal, like liposuction. Walk around the gym and you will see lots of people doing sit-ups and crunches and the like so they can have washboard abs. All the sit-ups in the world will not give you that look if you make no effort to remove the fat on top of the muscle. Aerobic exercise will increase the rate at which your body burns fat. The problem most people encounter is that the body has an order to where it likes to put fat and usually reverses that order when you lose it. If your body stores fat in your face first, it will probably take a lot of work to get it back out of there.

In order to lose fat in the face or anywhere else, you must lose fat until the desired effect is achieve. Spot reduction is a myth.

As indicated, spot reducing is a myth. To lose fat in any one area will require overall weight loss or surgical removal of fat. If it's any consolation, the aging process will result in loss of facial fat. Thus, the fat injections that many get. Expertly applied cosmetics can change the shape of one's face and make it look thinner. Perhaps a consultation with a make-up artist would be uplifting.

Happy Face better way

the best way to lose weight from the face is exercising it by hands like shaking it and try to massage it but fast not slowly.. this will remove all the fatning in the face.

because when you want to make ur body slim you do exercise well the same with your face.

try exercising everyday at night before you sleep for 10-15 minutes.

it will work trust me
