Rejuvenation of the face and throat depends primarily on its success in developing the underlying muscles, and it must support the skin and other tissues that cover it. If the supporting muscles are weak, floppy, and shrunken, a youthful appearance is impossible no matter how bright the complexion. And any artificial coloring only emphasizes any “sagging” indication of age.

This is written for both genders, and in it I will briefly describe the methods I practice to improve the skin covering the face and throat, as well as the underlying supporting muscles.

Do you have a flaccid face? How can you “tone” and strengthen the flabby muscles of the face? And how can the gaps be filled? Muscular activity as in exercise is the secret. The same methods that you practice when you are developing or “building” your arms, legs or any other part of your body. Because all muscles, when they are exercised, grow and when they do not shrink, they thus lose their strength and elasticity. Then the marks that we know as the indications of advancing age will begin to appear.

The skin, like any other piece of leather, is improved by friction. And the best instruments to polish it are dry palms and fingers. Additionally, this rubbing process will remove fine superficial lines, which begin to appear as we age and therefore when skin texture is not as fine as before. But don’t do it too hard, either by massaging or creating friction. Doing so will probably irritate the skin, or massaging too hard into the muscles of the face can cause pain.

I will now describe the practices by which my facial rejuvenation has been achieved.

FACE AND THROAT RUBBING – The best and least expensive method of throat whitening is rubbing with dry palms and fingers. It is also good to whiten the sides and bridge of the nose by the same method.

MASSAGE OF THE MUSCLES OF THE FACE – The cheeks are supported by eight muscles, four on each side. They are attached to the cheekbones, immediately below the eyes. From that point they descend and join the strong muscle that surrounds the mouth and further down they join again the broad band-like muscles of the jaws. You can contract these supporting muscles of the cheeks at will, this action forming a bunch on the cheekbones, below the eyes. In youth, these muscles must support the overlying tissue and skin, giving the cheeks the plump appearance characteristic of youth. But over the years, if they are not exercised, like any other muscle, they shrink, lose strength, size and elasticity.

For these deep wrinkles, atrophied chin and sunken cheeks, there is only one cure and that is to strengthen and increase the size of the supporting muscles. Contracting or bunching the cheek muscles can accomplish this. Then press firmly with the palm of your hand on the cheek you want to start with. Rub those bunched muscles firmly, deliberately, and well toward the temples or corners of the eyes.

THE MOUTH -An exercise that I practice to strengthen the “sphincter” or muscle that surrounds the mouth:

I insert my little fingers into my mouth and then alternately pull and relax. This exercise will quickly strengthen the surrounding mouth muscles and firm the mouth, resulting in a youthful mouth. This exercise will not stretch or enlarge the mouth, but will eliminate gout or sagging.

THE MUSCLES OF THE CHIN – In connection with the exercise of the mouth, you must also develop the muscles of the chin. The remedy is persistent rubbing of the tip of the chin.

THE TEMPLES – The supporting muscles of the temples generally sag and “sunken temples of age” appear with age. Persistent rubbing of these temple muscles will remedy this problem. And frequent friction of the temples well towards the corners of the eyes is advisable. It will produce the smooth temples of youth and will also eliminate crow’s feet.

THE JAWS – Deep, firm rubbing of the jaw muscles will develop these muscles. The jaws will then become rounder and a more youthful appearance will be obtained.

I practice all my facial rejuvenation exercises daily, since I go to bed very early in the morning, before getting up. Mental attitude is a very important factor because if you have decided to succeed in “get your youth back”, you will follow my example and make persistent and determined efforts to succeed. Then improvement will surely result. In all exercises, the results depend on you.
