Well this is an old thread to bump but I remembered it was here after I read the thread on sagging breasts. This got lost quite fast and I forgot about it! I thought it would be a good time to bring it back up.
The reason to tone face muscles is similar to the one behind wanting to tone sagging breasts. Because your face also sags, quite visibly too, after a certain age. Does anyone have any experience with this?
I have been doing them for a while now and I can't notice much difference so far, but then I guess I'm not sagging there yet. The reason why I do it is because I hate the thought of jowls and drooping eyelids and want to prevent those effects of ageing for as long as possible. If you think it's vain of me, so be it.
I am willing to share some of the exercises I do if anyone is interested. I'm sure you'll all have a good laugh too! They can be quite funny. It only takes a few minutes per day so it's not very time consuming or hard on the face either.
Some people say they have the opposite effect ( I hope not!), because they stretch the face and cause things to sag faster.
So what do you guys think? Is this silly or is it worth doing?

We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
