How Face Exercises Work

Muscles are fibrous masses of tissue that are built of protein. Exercising muscles promotes the thickening and strengthening of muscle fibers. To strengthen a muscle, there must be enough protein in the diet to ensure muscle growth. The goal of exercise is to make the muscle move repeatedly until it tires and the tissue breaks down; after this point rest is essential so that the tissue can regenerate and grow bigger. The more the muscle contracts, the more it grows.

With the right balance of exercise and rest, the muscle adapts to the demands placed on it by growing bigger and stronger. Working a muscle to a heightened percentage of its capacity over a relatively short time will increase its size, strength and ability to contract. By isolating various muscles in the face and performing a repeated range of movements, the muscles are strengthened, regenerated and enlarged.
