In a study conducted on women who look 50, are now thought to have the appearance of women two years younger. This is all thanks to performing the facial movements for 20 weeks.
Researchers believe this effect is due to the exercises increasing the size of muscles in the face. "Facial attractiveness and youth are associated with a smooth, full facial contour, so even a modest improvement of facial contour is a win for patients," lead author Dr Murad Alam from Northwestern University, told the Daily Mail.
Alam said this type of workout is "non-invasive, non-toxic" and can be done from anywhere.
The findings were originally published in the journal JAMA Dermatology.
