Facial exercises also help in increasing the production of collagen and elastin.

Let us try and focus on specific areas. To start with

Forehead

1. First of all stop frowning. I have seen many people while at work or even while watching television, they tend to frown. Please stop doing that, as it leads to those horrible wrinkles on your beautiful face.
2. Lie back on your bed, letting your head to hang from the edge. Open your eyes as wide as possible along with lifting your eye brows. Relax and repeat for 5 times.
3. Place two fingers just above the eyebrows. Pull the skin down with your fingers, making sure that there is not wrinkles between the eyes. Raise the eyebrows while pressing down with the fingers, opposing to the movement. Repeat thirty times, then relax and repeat twice more. (source:
