The skin on the face needs daily care and cosmetic procedures because it is more sensitive and thinner than on other parts of the body. Only muscles that maintain its tone can guarantee firm, elastic facial skin. Like other muscle groups located throughout the human body, the facial muscles also need regular physical activity. Face building is a natural, completely free way to prevent facial aging and fill it with a healthy glow.
Facebook building: all the pros and cons (benefits, harms of gymnastics)
First, let’s define what Facebook building is. Facebuilding is a practice aimed at training the muscles of the face, neck and décolleté, combined with their massage. The concept is similar in meaning and functionality to bodybuilding (body building). Facebuilding combines facial exercises of varying levels of complexity, performed at home.
The facial muscles are the smallest in size, due to this they are quickly amenable to training. Moreover, the effect of training is noticeable on the thin skin of the face more than in any other part of the body.
Let's figure out whether face-building helps to effectively correct age-related defects and preserve youth for many years.
The benefits of Facebook building, its advantages
- Correction of facial contour using natural methods;
This gymnastics restores the necessary tone to the muscles of the face and neck. At the same time, it is completely painless due to muscle efforts, without resorting to anesthesia, surgical interventions and other unpleasant moments.
- Prevention and reduction of existing wrinkles;
During exercises in combination with massage, there is intensive blood supply and skin nutrition. The facial cells of the upper layer of skin are regenerated, which visually transforms the appearance, filling it with energy.
- Restoring freshness and healthy complexion;
Effective exercise during training increases the flow of lymphatic fluid and blood through the capillaries. This allows you to get rid of bags and dark circles under the eyes in a short period of time. Additionally, this is an excellent prevention of skin sagging.
- Health safety;
Non-ecological hardware techniques, subcutaneous injections, and surgical plastic surgery can cause complications, but face building is relatively harmless and does not have serious contraindications.
- Obtaining a quick visible result, which is noticeable after seven days of regular exercise;
- Saving;
Unlike expensive cosmetic procedures, gymnastics can be done at home, standing in front of a mirror, or in any convenient place for free. No machines or additional equipment are required to perform these exercises - this is another significant argument.
- Relaxing areas of high muscle tension such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the eyes, mouth, cheekbones;
- Rapid rehabilitation for facial neuromuscular palsy.
From another point of view, there is a negative side to any theory or practice. This technique has skeptics and opponents who insist on the negative effect of gymnastics.
Disadvantages or what harm Facebook building can cause
- Intensive exercise can pump up muscles that are already in hypertonicity due to emotional psychological reactions, thereby aggravating problems in appearance.
In this regard, methods that use muscle relaxation and normalize their tone are less dangerous: Revitonics, Osmionics, Faceforming and Cantienics.
In addition, like any practice, face building has contraindications for practice in certain cases.
Contraindications
- If there are bacterial or fungal infections of the face and neck;
- If the function of the immune system is reduced;
- When there are open wounds on the skin;
- After recent surgical procedures to tighten the skin, as well as after laser skin resurfacing;
- For various dermatological diseases of the face;
- In the presence of severe rashes, acne (gymnastics can aggravate the situation);
In other cases, it is allowed to practice using this method. Facebuilding does not involve any complex manipulations, so it can be done even during pregnancy.

Written references to facial muscle training systems are found in French literature of the 17th century, although it is likely that they existed much earlier. At the beginning of the 20th century, the American Sanford Bennett, having published the book “Gymnastics in Bed,” opened an entire era of facial gymnastics.
Throughout the last century, the popularity of this method either faded or rose to the skies. One of the latest popularizers of face-building is the American cosmetologist Carol Maggio, who compiled 14 basic exercises for the face. This happened back in the 80s. Now she is over 60 and looks like this.
The main task is to train the facial muscles in order to strengthen the muscle frame. Activating muscles improves their blood supply, which means nutrition, breathing and elimination of metabolic products.

What is Facebook building
We all know what bodybuilding is and remember what people who engage in this sport look like. So, face building is the same thing, only for the face.
However, the facial muscles are not designed for forceful loading. Constant tension is harmful to any muscles, especially facial ones. We already constantly work with our faces - we blink, smile, chew, talk, frown, and because of this, the muscles spasm and contract. And additional stress will only make the situation worse. The muscles will become even shorter, and the tension will be stronger. As a result, new wrinkles and creases appear, and old ones deepen.
Facebook building results in before and after photos
Facial gymnastics gives excellent results for different age categories. There is a wide range of exercises that involve different muscle groups. When choosing them, it is very important to take age into account.
For example, under the age of 25, you can practice light courses of facial gymnastics, which are more aimed at preventing the appearance of wrinkles. As for classical gymnastics for wrinkles, it can be performed by anyone over the age of 26.
Facebuilding for the face after 50 years offers a more complex workout aimed at restoring lost skin elasticity. It allows you to significantly tighten the oval of the face and transform its contours.
Reviews of the visible results from Facebook building in the photo confirm the effectiveness of the technique:
Deep wrinkle lines on the forehead became less pronounced, and the nasolabial fold decreased significantly. The face acquired a healthy appearance.

What procedures are recommended for different ages?
Up to 25 years
Up to 25 years, the skin is elastic and quickly recovers from any changes - be it cuts, abrasions or sudden changes in weight. True, elasticity does not protect against increased sensitivity and violent reactions to surges of hormones in the body. As a result, pimples and acne appear on the skin. Jet Peel gas-liquid peeling will help remove these defects. This unique procedure removes the top layer of the epidermis, cleansing the skin and preventing blockage of the sebaceous glands. And oxygen saturation of the skin has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect. You can also perform a non-injection mesotherapy procedure using anti-inflammatory and other medicinal drugs. This technique is an excellent prevention of scar formation on the skin.
From 25 to 30 years
After 25 years, natural processes slow down in the skin, as a result it begins to lose moisture. Over the years, this process will only intensify. Therefore, after 25 years, regardless of type, the skin needs additional hydration and nutrition. If you do not maintain the water balance in the skin, then such troubles as deterioration of complexion, dryness and flaking, and a decrease in restorative properties will appear. An excellent prevention of dryness will be mesotherapy procedures - biorevitalization, hyaluronoplasty, the essence of which is that hyaluronic acid and various beneficial vitamins and amino acids are introduced into the skin. Thanks to this, the skin is saturated with moisture. Peels effectively remove the dead skin layer, allowing it to breathe and glow with youth.
From 30 to 40 years
With age, the process of renewal of epidermal cells slows down. The cell replacement cycle lengthens from 26-28 days to 40-45 days, that is, the skin’s ability to restore its structure is noticeably reduced. The level of hyaluronic acid continues to decrease, causing the skin to lose its natural moisture. Collagen and elastin fibers become thinner, causing the supporting structure of the skin matrix to weaken and the skin to lose its elasticity. Thus, mature skin becomes less hydrated, thinner and looser. But if you take proper and constant care of your skin, you can minimize age-related changes. Mature skin constantly needs hydration, so it still needs mesotherapy treatments based on hyaluronic acid. Plasma therapy also perfectly moisturizes the skin - a procedure based on the introduction of a person’s own plasma, enriched with platelets, into the skin. In order to even out the relief of mature skin and smooth out wrinkles, botulinum toxin injections, contouring with hyaluronic acid preparations, long-acting fillers, such as Radiesse, Ellanse, are used, which stimulate the production of type 1 collagen, creating the effect of unsurpassed lifting and velvety skin. To renew the skin, doctors recommend laser rejuvenation, fractional thermolysis, and thermolifting procedures. All these procedures also perfectly tighten and tighten the skin.
From 40 to 50 years
Over the years, hormonal changes in the body occur.
In the female body, the level of estrogen - female sex hormones - decreases. So, one of them, estradiol, among other functions, regulates the work of the enzyme collagenase, which breaks down collagen. That is why during menopause, when estrogen production stops, the destruction of collagen threads and skin aging occurs more intensely. Skin aging is also associated with the action of free radicals, which have a damaging effect on cell membranes and the intercellular matrix of the dermis. External factors - temperature changes, atmospheric conditions, poor lifestyle - also do not add youth to the skin. The latest research has proven that the skin of smokers fades 4 times faster. Therefore, you should always try to lead a healthy lifestyle. And visiting a cosmetologist should be a golden rule. Laser rejuvenation and thermolifting procedures will always help keep your skin toned. Using Dermal radio wave optical thermolysis, you can remove eye hernias and tighten your eyelids. Essentially, DROT is blepharoplasty. Only without surgery. Long-lasting fillers (Radiesse, Ellanse) will restore the structure of elastin and collagen, even out the skin texture and make it velvety. Placental preparations - Laennec, Melsmon - will give the skin an extraordinary inner glow. Well, the main procedure in this beautiful age period should be a non-surgical deep Altera lift. 50 plus With the current level of development of cosmetology, there is no need to be afraid of natural aging of the skin. At the same time, the latest generation technologies tighten the skin without surgical intervention. Altera, the latest achievement in the field of non-surgical cosmetology, will always help you look much younger than the age written in your passport. Self-absorbing threads have also long been an alternative to plastic surgery. After they are introduced into various areas of the face, the beneficial substances contained in the threads are released, which begin to produce young collagen and elastin. The good thing about threads is that their tension can always be adjusted. With their help, almost any problem is solved - nasolabial folds, wrinkles around the eyes are removed, the forehead is smoothed, the double chin disappears, and in general the whole face takes on a harmonious appearance. And to improve metabolic processes, courses of cellular and plasma lifting, as well as the introduction of placental drugs, are recommended. All of them slow down the aging process and cause the hands of the “biological clock” to spin in the opposite direction.
