The desire to look beautiful is eternal, as it makes us feel good and confident. Though, looking good is not perfect till it is well presented. It is not easy as well, because we have to take some factors into consideration – the environment, sun exposure, food we consume, time, genes, etc. To improve our physique, we stress on exercising by hitting a gym, doing yoga, swimming, walking etc. but what about exercising our face? After all, that is the first thing which makes an impression. It is the identity we present to the world and it speaks a lot about us.

For instance, weight lifting improves muscle sizes and thus even facial workout can result in having firmer facial muscles and neck areas.
