Alena Rossoshinskaya can help you achieve your goal. The facial fitness developed by her is an effective exercise for the facial muscles. The technique helps restore or maintain skin elasticity, smoothness and velvety, and get rid of facial wrinkles.
Let's get acquainted with the concept
In order to stay beautiful and slim, we go to the gym. Physical exercise perfectly tightens muscles, helps eliminate excess fatty tissue, and adds optimism to us. What about the face? After all, these are also muscles that lose their firmness and elasticity over time. As a result, the oval of the face “sags”, a double chin appears, the lines of the lips blur... What to do? The same as for maintaining a figure: special exercises. The technique that allows you to do this is called “Facial Fitness”. It is worth noting that this includes not only special gymnastics aimed at increasing the elasticity of the facial muscles and neck muscles, but also exercises for posture, meditative and breathing techniques. But this is a topic for another article. We will introduce you to special exercises and complement them with a special relaxing massage.

Tips for implementation
“Beginners often make mistakes. The main thing in our business is to fully follow the coach’s advice,” says Alena Rossoshinskaya. Fitness for the face is not just doing certain exercises, but constantly monitoring compliance with certain rules for the implementation of this technique. It is important to adhere to the following points:
• It is necessary to do gymnastics only in front of a mirror. This will help avoid some mistakes when performing the complex.
• You need to do facial fitness regularly, preferably twice a day: morning and evening. Only in this case can a noticeable effect be guaranteed within a couple of weeks.
• Exercises should not cause unpleasant painful sensations. However, finger pressure on the skin should be quite strong and noticeable.
• You should choose a convenient time for training so that you can fully concentrate on doing the exercises. Being distracted by extraneous matters is highly discouraged. If you can’t do this, it’s better to reschedule the workout to another time.
• When performing the complex, more attention should be paid to the problem area itself. This will not only eliminate existing defects, but also prevent the appearance of new ones.
• Exercise should only be done when you are healthy. Contraindications to it may be fever, weakness, colds, inflammation of the trigeminal nerve. Also, people should not engage in face culture during the first years after plastic surgery on the face.
• Problem areas need to be treated quite delicately. Do not rub, pinch, or press on the skin in this area. Illiterate influence on it can only aggravate the problem.
The essence of the program. Why is this necessary?
Changes occur in the muscular corset of the face every day, the face tenses under the influence of one or another emotion, and spasms occur. To avoid spasticity, you should be able to relax your face every day. Some people have no idea how this can be done. And often the problem is lack of time. There is no need to worry, because you need to spend no more than 30 minutes a day on building your face.
So, what is needed to get more vitamins, hydration from food, creams, lotions and other products?
- It is necessary to establish blood circulation;
- Relieve spasms;
- Restore muscle tone.
This is achieved with regular training. During performance, the muscles are stretched and at the same time relaxed, and then toned. Blood flow improves, lymphatic drainage is normalized, and the skin receives everything valuable from cosmetics and nutrition.
A woman sees results within two weeks, and in addition, she gains confidence in her attractiveness. There is no longer any need to quit this “business”, and the desire to train the muscles grows as the face transforms. Just hold out for the first few days and then everything will go like clockwork.
Where to begin?
Any workout should begin with relaxing light exercises. In our case it will be scratching the head. To do this you need to sit down and relax. Then, using the pads of the fingers, first the index fingers, then the middle ones, we move from the beginning of hair growth to the crown. Repeat 10-20 times. This technique will not only help you relax and tune into the right mood, but will also have a positive effect on hair growth and health. Now let's move on to more complex exercises. We rub our ears from bottom to top 5 times and press our fingers on the earlobes. Here are active points that activate the work of the whole body.
Gymnastic complex for face and neck
The muscles of the face and neck rarely have to work actively. This happens during conversations or active facial expressions, for example, when we laugh or frown. However, the processes of tension and relaxation are uneven. Even in sleep, the facial muscles are not completely relaxed. This unevenness is the main cause of fine lines and premature wrinkles. Is it possible to avoid this problem? It is not only possible, but also necessary with the help of special gymnastic exercises - facial fitness. There are many different facial gymnastics courses that have received a lot of positive reviews. This:
- self-lifting by Camilla Wohler,
- aerobics for the face from Carol Maggio,
- faceforming by Benita Cantieni,
- face building of Eva Fraser and Reinhold Benz,
- facelift of Saint Maria Runge,
- Tibetan practices.
Removing the double chin
Keep your head straight, do not stretch your neck. We clench our fingers into fists and press them quite noticeably on the area of the double chin. Repeat 20 times. This is not the end of facial fitness with Alena Rossoshinskaya for the chin area. There are several more effective exercises to remove this defect. One of them: raise your face a little up, tap the area of your double chin with the back of your palms for a minute.
How, when, how much
Alena Rossoshinskaya recommends doing gymnastics and massage at any time of the day; you can start at any age.
As they say, all ages are submissive to love. Love yourself like no one else, the reward will be a fresh complexion, velvety skin without wrinkles and sagging areas.
There are about 57 muscles on our face, all of which need training. How and when the training takes place does not matter, the main thing is to do each exercise correctly.

Strengthening the area around the eyes and lips
Head straight, eyes tightly closed. Using finger pads, press the skin under the eyes in the place where the wrinkles are located. Stay in this position for 20 seconds and release. The skin in this area will turn slightly red. This means the result has been achieved. Let us remind you that there should be no pain when performing the exercise. Here’s a good trick against nasolabial folds from the book “Face Fitness.” Reviews from Alena Rossoshinskaya's clients indicate that it is very effective for this area of the face. Extend your lips with a tube, as if pronouncing the sound “O”. Stay in this position for 40 seconds. Repeat 10 times. It is not recommended to perform this exercise for those people who have pronounced wrinkles around the lips.

When the result “minus 10 years” is achieved, the complex will definitely be included in the daily care program. The miracle technique will become favorite propaganda.
“No” to wrinkles on the forehead!
Head straight. Place your fingers on the forehead area. Try to wrinkle it by exerting resistance with your fingertips. Stay in this position for 15-20 seconds. And then relax your forehead. Repeat 10-20 times. This technique from the book “Facial Fitness” by Alena Rossishinskaya will help lift drooping eyelids and eliminate wrinkles that have appeared on the forehead.
Lymphatic drainage facial massage as an addition to the method
What else does Alena Rossoshinskaya recommend that we try? “Facial fitness is not only exercise, but also other techniques, such as lymphatic drainage massage,” says the trainer. This technique will help get rid of puffiness in the morning. Accordingly, it is recommended to do this massage after sleep. To do this, you need to stand in front of a mirror and perform all the movements with your fingertips, carefully rolling them over your face. In this case, the pressure of the hands should be very light, without pressure. The skin cannot be moved. You need to perform the exercises along the following lines:
• Neck area. From the earlobes down to the shoulders.
• Chin area. From the center of the lower jaw to the ears.
• Cheek area. From the nose along the cheekbones to the ears.
• Eye area. From the inner corner of the eye to the temples, then along the brow ridges to the temples.
• Forehead area. From the center of the forehead to the temples.
A set of eye exercises from Alena Rossoshinskaya
Every woman faces problems with the skin around her eyes. With age, morning puffiness and dark circles under the eyes no longer become a surprise, but a common sign of tired skin. With the help of regular face fitness classes, you can avoid this trouble. Alena Rossoshinskaya, looking fresh and young at 38, believes that age can be deceived. Defects in the skin around the eyes can be eliminated using a set of special exercises and you can simulate the look of your dreams - expressive and open.
A set of exercises that target a specific problem area should begin with a relaxing warm-up, for example, scratching your head.
To do this, sit back and relax. Using the pads of your index and middle fingers, begin to gently comb your hair from the hairline to the crown. To get in the right mood, and at the same time activate hair growth, you need to do 10-20 repetitions of this exercise.
To awaken all body systems, you need to treat the ears with your fingers: actively rub them with your fingers in the direction from bottom to top. Only 5 repetitions. Finish the exercise by pressing on your earlobe.
Now, according to the facial fitness program, you can begin to treat the problem area itself.
Exercise 1
To eliminate small facial wrinkles and give an open look.
Cover the crow's feet with the pads of three or four fingers and press firmly, but not painfully, against the protruding edge of the bone. Close your eyes so that the eyelids tremble slightly and tension is felt. Count to 20.
Exercise 2
To reduce blueness of the skin and swelling under the eyes.
Place the pad of your thumb at the lower edge of your jaw. Place the pad of your middle finger at the outer corner of your eye. This will be the starting point. Slowly move along the lower eyelid just below the lash line to the inner corner of the eye, then follow the upper contour of the moving eyelid back to the outer corner. Then make a new circle along a larger radius - under the lower eyelid along the edge of the bone and upward, going around the bridge of the nose, along the brow ridge. The spiral movement is performed without stopping in a clockwise direction.

Reviews from women
There are a lot of comments about the method of Alena Rossishinskaya and her book “Fitness for the Face.” Revitonics is another name for a set of special exercises aimed at preserving youth and beauty. Many women have already experienced the effectiveness of this method. User reviews include both positive and negative. In positive comments, people write that such gymnastics works wonders. After a few weeks, the oval of the face tightens, the skin looks younger and healthier. There are also negative comments that facelift not only did not help eliminate sagging eyelids and cheeks and the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead, but also aggravated the defects.
It is possible that this was caused by improper execution of the exercises, or too strong pressure of the finger pads on the skin. Trainers using this technique warn that you need to pay close attention to all their advice and recommendations.
We looked at what facial fitness is, and also got acquainted with some basic exercises from the book of the famous facelift trainer Alena Rossoshinskaya.
