Baby bird To prevent your chin and neck from sagging
Press the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth, then smile and swallow while pointing your chin at the ceiling.

How it works: While you may never forget to slather SPF on your face, your neck may often get skipped — and that's why the neck is one of the first places to show signs of aging. Hagen says this pose is "great at tightening the jaw, since you're working out your chewing muscle and the platysma, which is the muscle that surrounds your upper chest, collarbone, and neck," she says.

I've seen these yoga exercises before and the pictures a above are not correct. You should not be crinkling your skin while doing these. Particularly in the "bullfrog" doing it the way the model is will just increase your lip lines.

Hmm, I'm not so sure about this. I feel like it will only increase wrinkles over time.

I have a facial book of different poses that has been proven to work for years and none of these are in it, or the other I found online before. These are more of a pain, makes me rather get needles in me. Who really recommends these articles and do you have any before and after pictures for gallery proof.

Seriously? I feel like these would give you wrinkles.
