      This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "exercise to tone face" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Jenrooklyn Facial Mummification - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my buddy got cool success with it.

    Okay, I'm amazed. I suffer from jaw aches, neck aches and migraines pretty regularly. Sometimes all at once, sometimes not. Today, I had all three. Self massage videos have never worked for me before, but in desperation, I searched and found your migraine relief video. Then I found this one. Both vids have alleviated the pain in my head, neck and jaw. I'm genuinely shocked how great I feel from 16 minutes of self massage when like I said, these things have never worked for me in the past.
    Thank you, sincerely, for taking the time to make these videos.

    I just became aware of the importance of the vagus nerve concerning anxiety. Part of the way the vagus nerve gets "toned" is by relaxing the facial muscles. Your facial exercises here are just the ticket. Thanks for a very helpful video!

    I hade no idea that anxiety could make your face feel pulled taut until today. I have severe anxiety and for the past month I’ve been working on a very big, important project. I don’t really feel stress physically until my body does something concerning to show that it’s about to collapse. Today my face started to feel just so, so tense, I was afraid to smile because it felt like the corners of my mouth would not go back. I got very scared and decided to watch some videos with face massages, and this is just wonderful, I feel so much more relaxed. I think I’ll just do this a few more times. Thank you so, so very much ❤
