The Facial Exercises for Facial Muscles and Skin from the 1950s

Facial exercises are movements made with the face muscles to firm the skin, tone the contours, and lift the face. Some people say they do not work, while others swear, they do. That’s up to you.

Think about your face, though: it is exposed to the environment far more than the rest of your body, so the sun, extremes of temperature, wind and pollution all take their toll on it in a way that doesn’t happen elsewhere. The skin is also affected by hormones and decreased collagen production. In addition to a healthy diet, facial exercises can help firm and smooth the skin when performed correctly and regularly.

The following are some interesting facial exercises by Joe Bonomo from the 1950s.
