Smile Exercises - Cheeks

When you do smile exercises, you are getting your face muscles in shape so that when you DO smile, it looks natural, healthy and full. You don't want your face to look rigid or stretched - those make your face look aged and angry.

You might not realize it, but a key part of how you smile is how your cheeks look. Your lips have a cheek "background" and if the cheeks look tight and stretched, it makes the whole smile look like a grimace. Healthy cheeks are important!

Smile Exercise 1
Sit with total relaxation. Suck in on your mouth, like you were sucking in on a straw, to pull your cheeks in between your teeth. Hold this for five seconds. Relax. Do this three times.

Smile Exercise 2
Now the opposite. Fill your mouth with air. Puff out your cheeks with that air, as if you had a huge mouthful of air and were holding your breath. Hold for five seconds. Relax. Do this three times.

Smile Exercise 3
Similar to the previous exercise, fill your mouth with air, but this time focus on just the area under your nose - in front of your front teeth. Fill that area with air. Hold this for five seconds. Relax. Do this three times.

The aim of all of this is to get your cheek areas to stretch out, to become more healthy and full in their relaxed, natural state. The more you get the blood flowing in your cheeks, the more naturally healthy they will look.
