Do you sometimes look in the mirror and feel like your face is melting?
Are there more creases around your mouth?
Sagging neck or jawline?
Bags under your eyes?
Do you look pale?
Worried?
Bloated?
All of these are connected to a system within the body that is in charge of muscle tone and nutrient absorption. Exercise will help tone your muscles but only the ones you workout, therefore a lot of muscles are missed especially in the face!
What can you do right now?
Diet:
Avoid cold, raw, or fried food. This depletes the system in charge of muscles and takes energy away from absorbing nutrients. Minimal amounts are ok however try to avoid cold during the winter months. Eat less of these and within weeks you will wake up with a more refreshed and less puffy face.
Drink: Ginger tea daily. Ginger is a warming spice and will help your body digest and tone muscles.
