If you're like most people, your face is the first part of your body to show the signs of aging. Unfortunately, once time starts marching across your face, it can be difficult to stop the parade. While you might not be able to completely stop the aging process, there are some steps you can take to slow it down considerably. One way is through plastic surgery – such as a facelift. If you've been considering a facelift – but you're not sure you're ready to take that step yet – you can still add a more youthful appearance to your skin. Here are four simple ways to rejuvenate your face while you contemplate a permanent fix.

Go Hawaiian

You might not know this, but pineapple juice contains enzymes that can improve elasticity, increase hydration and exfoliate your skin. Simply fill an ice tray with pineapple juice and place the tray in the freezer overnight. In the morning, take one pineapple cube out of the tray and rub your face with it. Leave the juice on your face for about 5 minutes and then rinse off with cool water. Repeat the process several times a week to help restore your youthful appearance.

Reach for the Peptides

As you age, your body stops producing collagen and elastin. When that happens, your skin will begin to sag. It will also look dull and lifeless. You can boost your collagen and elastin production by adding peptide supplements to your daily regimen. Many beauty products, including skin creams, contain peptides.

Exercise Your Facial Muscles

Daily exercise is great for your body. It's also great for your face, especially if you're doing the right exercises. With daily exercise, you can tighten your facial muscles and restore your youthful appearance. Here are two simple facial exercises you can do that will help tighten the muscles in your face.

Puffer Fish

Exercising your cheek muscles will help firm your face and lift sagging facial muscles. Puff your cheeks out as far as you can. Now, tap your cheeks with your fingers for several seconds. Release the air and relax your cheeks. Repeat the exercise several times a day.

Eyelid Flutters

This exercise will lift sagging eye muscles and reduce the hollows under your eyes. Place your index fingers under your eyes so that they're pointing at your nose. Look up towards the sky and hold that position for about 30 seconds. While still holding your fingers under your eyes, flutter your eyelids for another 30 seconds. Repeat the sequence three times. For best results, repeat this exercise several times a week.

If you want to reduce the signs of aging, but you're not sure you're ready for a facelift yet, use these simple tricks to bring back your youthful appearance. Be sure to speak to your plastic surgeon about other simple techniques you can use to improve the look of your skin.
