There is no need to pay the high prices of cosmetic surgery and anti aging facial creams to keep you looking young and preventing wrinkles. Not only is cosmetic surgery and laser treatments expensive it is quite painful and can leave you with unnecessary scarring. Unknown to many there are actually facial exercises which when done daily will prevent and minimize wrinkles for healthy younger looking skin. Even better the exercises are not hard to follow and do not take up a lot of your time.

Here are a few simple things you can do to keep yourself looking young and fresh:

1.    Chew with your lips closed while sitting and looking at the ceiling.
2.    Keep your lips together and drop your jaw while pushing it forward.
3.    Push your lips forward as far as possible to form an exaggerated “O” with your mouth, and then smile as brightly as you can.
4.    Gently apply pressure to your forehead from the two sides of your temple with your fingers.
5.    Close your eyes and sit upright before you lift your eyebrows and stretch the eyelids down and up to the possible extent.
6.    Frown and lift your eyebrows as far as you can while opening your eyes.
7.    Sit upright and look straight, then start bringing your eyebrows down, wrinkle nose as much as possible and flare your nostrils.

Do 10 counts for each and will see that it takes approximately only 20 minutes of your time. The exercise will target specific muscles and muscle groups.
