Any woman (and maybe even man) of- a- certain- age has looked into the mirror and noticed those little saddlebags forming just northeast and northwest of her chin. Wondering what it would look like if I did a little facelift, I’ve pulled up a bit on each side to smooth the chin to cheek line again. Yes! I’ve shed a decade!
I’m highly unlikely to ever submit to a knife or even chemical, or electrical treatments to keep that smoother look. There is an Ayurveda massage of the face which we teasingly call an “Ayurvedic Face Lift.” It is soothing to the mind and relaxing to the face, massaging energy points for rejuvenation and massaging that jaw line upward. I give others this treatment, but haven’t had one myself for years. It might help.
Meanwhile, I have discovered the ultimate face lift—smiling. When I smile, I can see that it pulls up those saddlebags into my cheeks to make a full, happy face. And smiling doesn’t only lift my face—it lifts me and those I smile at. I feel younger when I smile, as well as look younger.
So experiment—see how much younger YOU look by exercising your smiling muscles in a happy dance more often during the day.
