hello everyone today's video is about what causes Sagging and Wrinkling Around
the Mouth now this is a really personal subject for me because over the past 18
months I'd say I've been really having a really hard time with wrinkles around my
mouth developing and it's really upset me because I worked so hard at my
exercises and I'm really faithful at doing them all the time and I've never
understood until recently what's actually been happening now there are a
number of factors that has been causing this and I'm going to share them with
you because it could be happening to you as well so the first thing is my age I
mean I am 57 going on 58 and I am fighting up against the wall of aging I
mean this thing just doesn't stop and no matter what I do for myself no matter
how healthy I am no matter whatever it is that I do nothing stops it the other
thing is that I have to smoked cigarettes for the past 36 years of my
life so smoking as obviously started to take its toll I am very surprised even
though I do not smoke cigarettes now I am so surprised that I haven't had worse
wrinkling on my face and that I think has contributed to the facial exercises
and my devices my skincare and other massages and things like that that I do
for myself to try to keep myself from aging so rapidly there are other factors
now I'm first of all going to talk to you about your teeth your teeth is key to
what happens to the wrinkles around your mouth
so consider if you had no teeth when you see someone that has no teeth in their
mouth all of their lips are receding and this is because your teeth actually
hold out your lips now consider if you lose teeth around various areas of your
mouth your skin will still recede into those
areas and this is what's been happening to myself a number of years ago I had
two teeth removed from the upper and lower part of my my mouth and they're in
exactly the same spot now this part of my cheek is fine but this part here over
time what's happened is it's become concave and it's caused very deep
wrinkling and creasing down my chin the other side of my mouth I have had a
tooth removed here that tooth was removed about ten years ago these ones
were removed about fifteen years ago this one was about ten years ago now
what's happened is in the last 18 months I've noticed a big crease started
forming down my cheek and you can see it for yourself what's actually started
happening now no matter what I've done these wrinkles will not go away and it's
so upsetting because of all the work that I do with myself and you'd think
that they would start subsiding but at times they've got much worse the other
thing that happened was I had my front teeth at the bottom of my jaw my very
front teeth were stinging up into the top part of my teeth in the top part of
my mouth and my dentist actually ground down those those sharp points and when
that happened it actually pushed my jaw up into the back of my teeth and my jaw
actually receded because I spoke to the dentist about it
and told them what had been happening around my mouth and they confirmed the
fact that missing teeth and the fact that in grinding my teeth and caused my
teeth to jut up in the top of the back of my top teeth this has caused my jaw
to move back and my teeth missing have caused the wrinkles on my face now I
would really like you guys to consider yourself what's been happening to you
because I hear a lot of people say well no matter what I do it doesn't work well
look I've been doing it as well and I've been working very hard at smoothing out
this area and it is very difficult if you've got forces moving against you as
I say with people facial exercises can do so much can be absolutely a miracle
but if there are other things that are happening on your face it will not work
it sometimes is a challenge to keep those areas smooth out and strong now
the next thing that I want to talk to you about is mouth breathing so if you
are a mouth breather typically what happens is you sleep with your mouth
open now when you're laying on your back
sleeping with your mouth open all night what happens is your jaw drops right
down open and I'm sure that those of you who have experienced this understand
what I'm saying your jaw is pulled down and really with quite a lot of force it
is dropped down or not and bit by bit because the skin has elasticity its
stretches and stretches and stretches more now you can imagine that when you
wake up in the morning what happens is you wake up and you close your jaw all
of a sudden all this stretched skin that's been happening through the night closes
up and it all puckers up and this is what causes all of this area here to
pouch now I also have had this because at times I do sleep with my mouth open
and for a while there I was doing that and it had caused a lot of very very
deep wrinkles around the side of my mouth so if you sleep with your mouth
open you will typically find wrinkles that go from the top part of your lip
all the way down to the bottom part underneath the corners of your lip they
are sleeping with your mouth open wrinkles and then when you close your
mouth you get some fatty pouches in here and that's what's causing it I hope
that's clear because it took me a bit of time to understand what was actually
happening because I wake up in the morning I look at myself in the mirror
and I'd have all this pouching happening and all these very deep receded wrinkles
from right around my marionette lines all the way down underneath my lips and
this is what it was it was sleeping with my mouth open so what about finding ways
to stop doing that and I think the best way to do it is to find a chin strap
that will help you sleep at night that you put around your head that stops your
mouth from opening this is the only way I can think if you have got other ways
of finding it without uncomfortable ways of sleeping or dangerous ways of
sleeping please let us know in the comments box below but this is the best
way I found if you just have a a chin strap that's just tight enough so your
mouth will not open up at night it will keep your mouth closed and you breathe
through your nose now there's so much information on the internet about nose
breathing versus mouth breathing really is quite phenomenal and it really is a
thing because this is not the only problem that mouth breathing causes so I
really do encourage you to go do that now of course the other thing that
causes that are hormones around the top part of your lip there
creasing and things like that to happen up here and all of that are hormones
going wild and changing in your body as we age when we get to about 50 onwards
there is a rapid aging process that starts to happen and it's like all those
bad things that you did in your life before 50 are all catching up with you
now and it really is the truth because I'm finding out about this myself and
luckily I've found facial exercises because I think if I didn't my aging
process would be a lot worse than it is so please do consider these things that
I'm talking about because they they really are a thing they truly are so
combined with cigarette smoking combined with drinking alcohol not eating correct
foods mouth breathing all of these things really do cause problems on your
face now I've always said about facial exercises that when you do it it is the
most wonderful thing that you do but it's not a perfect fix and this is why i am
talking to you about this topic today because I'm experiencing it myself
and I wanted to share it with you it's not a perfect fix and there are other
things that you do need to do and consider and think about as to why
wrinkles on your face are not changing as you're doing the exercises now as I
said I do my exercises faithfully I have worked very very hard to find different
ways to smooth out these wrinkles and it just will not happen it's so frustrating
and I just wanted to let you know that if you're having problems if you're
experiencing problems like things are not changing for you wrinkles are not
moving or smoothing these are these might be the reasons why and especially
the jowls the jowls are the most hardest hardest area to change
now the other thing with jowls is your weight when you have jowls you are not at
your ideal weight and if you are underweight what happens is the skin
starts to sag and as we age again as we know the skin loses elasticity it loses
collagen it loses hauralonic acid and all these things cause the cheeks and the
mouth to start drooping and it all starts from the top of your lip the top
of your cheeks and it all starts to slide downwards now if you are
underweight and you have excess skin facial exercises will not help in
tightening your skin of course it will strengthen your muscles underneath and
as you exercise those muscles they'll be amazingly strong but the skin will not
stretch over the muscle as the muscle builds because there is excess skin and
that's the theory behind facial exercises the muscles build the skin
stretches over and the wrinkles disappear but if you have excess skin
you understand that if there's too much skin is not going to be able to stretch
over the muscles and this is also around your eyes because there's a condition
called Ptosis spelt PTOSIS is now in simple terms what this is is excessive
skin that hangs over the eyes and in many cases in most cases if people can
afford to have surgery to have that excessive skin removed that is the only
way to to cure Ptosis now you can understand then with facial exercises
you might try to cure that condition but if the muscle is building and there is
too much skin to stretch over the muscle you can understand that it's not going
to work so people with that condition absolutely I need to go and have some
surgery to have the excess skin removed and this is a problem with excess skin
is that it does remain unless you have it removed and I would really love to
say that it would work for you but it you know facial exercises as I say will
only go so far for you so consider the things that are
happening to you right now with all the facial exercises that you are doing if
you are following the program correctly first of all that's your first chance of
having some success but then if you're finding that there are certain areas
that are not changing you need to consider what's going on in your facial
area in your mouth and your skin with your muscles and the underlying adipose
fat in your skin you need to understand what's actually happening most times
facial exercises work for people sometimes they don't and those people
who it doesn't work for they need to find other ways of rejuvenation and I'm
really sorry to say that but it's the actual truth because of how few people
have underlying problems with their skin with condition and skin conditions and
all sorts of things where facial exercises didn't help so going back to
what causes wrinkles around the mouth you need to really think about what's
actually happening how you're sleeping with your mouth breathing or nose
breathing you need to really have a look at yourself in the morning to see what
sort of wrinkles are being formed you need to understand if you've got teeth
that are missing out of your mouth that that may be causing wrinkles and they
won't budge these are all things that you need to understand so I hope that's
given you a bit more understanding about wrinkles I do have another one coming up
about what wrinkles are what and white wrinkles are formed in certain areas so
there is another video coming up about that and it's quite interesting when you
start studying how wrinkles form and why there's so many different types of
wrinkles and why they form so please look out for that video please do
