Age-related skin changes - wrinkles, bags under the eyes, swelling, unclear facial contours - are an inevitability that is not easy to come to terms with. Many women, in an effort to become younger, are ready to go under the surgeon’s knife, forgetting about possible complications. Others pay tidy sums for various cosmetic procedures, which also do not guarantee eternal results. But there is a simpler, completely free and at the same time very effective solution to this problem - the so-called facial fitness.
Facelift of Galina Dubinina - what is it?
There are several famous fitness trainers who develop this direction. One of the facelift gurus is the American Carol Maggio, who was among the first to offer consumers a set of exercises to combat skin aging. Our specialists, including yoga instructor Galina Dubinina, picked up the American baton. She carefully studied Maggio’s work and based on it, compiled her own program, adapted for Russian women. The technique, called “Facelifting with Galina Dubinina,” incorporates effective techniques from different areas - bodyflexing, face-building and even yoga.
Galina Dubinina's facelift is not just exercises for the face. These are several courses with different focuses:
- massage of bioenergy points;
- exercise for the eyes;
- program for working out problem areas of the face and neck;
- express charging;
- a set of procedures for men;
- a set of manipulations for morning and evening;
- fitness for the face in combination with breathing exercises Bodyflex and so on.
Of course, Galina recommends taking Facelifting courses as a whole, but if free time is short, it’s better to focus on facial gymnastics.
Exercise sets
For oval face and neck
Pull your chin forward. Hold this position for 30 seconds.
Then make circular movements with it (but only if the temporomandibular joint is not damaged) in one and the opposite direction 8 times.
Then hug the upper lip with your lower lip and lift your lower jaw up. Hold this position for 30 seconds.
To reduce nasolabial folds
Place your thumbs on the upper canines so that the nasolabial folds straighten. Press your fingers with the orbicularis oris muscle 8 times. Then place your right finger on the lower left canine and press it upward with your lower lip 8 times. Do the same on the lower right canine, but make sure that the finger is under the nasolabial wrinkle and not in the cheek area.
For cheek lift
Clasp your teeth together, place your thumbs on your teeth and press them with your cheek. In this case, there should be no creases on the nasolabial fold. There is no need to strain your lip muscles. Repeat 8 times.
For the forehead
Place your hand on your forehead at the border with your hairline. Pull it back and leave for 30 seconds. Lower your gaze down your eyelids and hold the position for 30 seconds. Then you need to add the lowered upper lip and jaw to these exercises. Hold the position for 30 seconds. Then repeat the last exercise, pulling back the lower lip 8 times.
For eyelid and eye lifting
Before gymnastics, you should massage the eyebrows: from the beginning of growth, work the entire length of the eyebrow with “sculpting” movements. Repeat 3 times. Then raise your eyebrows as high as possible. Place your fingers on the wrinkles that have formed on your forehead and thus smooth them out. Leave the muscles tense and lower the eyelids (for 2 minutes). Repeat 2 times.
To strengthen the chin muscles
Place your fists on your chin. Open your mouth, resisting your fists. The anterior neck muscles should work. Hold the position for 30 seconds. Repeat 3 times. Then press the middle of your tongue on the upper palate and hold for 30 seconds. Then repeat 8 times, periodically pressing and relaxing the muscles of the tongue.
The benefits of facelift
To motivate you to do facial fitness, we’ll tell you exactly why this technique is good, what results it can show and in what time frame.
Face lifting with Galina Dubinina is suitable for everyone who wants:
- remove facial wrinkles from the eyes, nasolabial and tear folds, creases between the eyebrows, bruises and bags under the eyes;
- fill the skin with radiance;
- make facial contours clearer;
- tighten sagging cheeks and cheekbones;
- make the lip contour smoother and brighter.
With the help of a facelift, you can improve blood circulation in the skin tissues and strengthen the facial muscles. In addition, the technique is indicated for young women who want to prevent the possible appearance of age-related skin changes. That is, facial fitness will be useful to everyone, regardless of gender, age, presence and scale of the problem.
Innovation and advantages of Dubinina's facelift
Gymnastics for the face by Dubinina does not require any special financial investments, but it really works:
- helps make wrinkles less noticeable;
- strengthens facial muscles;
- makes the oval of the face clear;
- reduces soft fatty tissue in the chin area, swelling, bags under the eyes;
- evens out the contour of the lips;
- improves complexion;
- raises the tone of the muscles of the cervical-mental area;
- normalizes blood flow, lymph flow, accelerates cellular metabolism;
- raises the outer corners of the eyes.
During gymnastics, the subcutaneous layer, muscles, and lymphatic system are involved, so facial treatment is carried out much deeper than the surface layer of the epidermis. Using her example, Galina shows that you can slow down the clock with a minimum of effort.
Advantages of the technique
Now let’s talk about why facelift from Galina Dubinina is better than other anti-aging procedures:
- Simple and convenient. The trainer films special video lessons in which he talks in detail about how to perform the exercises correctly and what mistakes should be avoided. The video “Facelifting with Galina Dubinina” is a truly convenient training format for everyone.
- Effective . The effect of gymnastics according to the Galina Dubinina system can be compared with the result of plastic surgery. In addition, regular exercise can not only eliminate visible imperfections, but also make your face more well-groomed and fresh.
- Healthy. When combining facial exercises with Bodyflex breathing exercises, the general condition of the body also improves and the functioning of many of its systems is normalized.
- Safely. Facelifting has no contraindications - it is a universal technique that suits absolutely everyone (unlike injections or plastic surgery).
- Available. No cosmetics, special devices or additional equipment are required for classes. You can perform the exercises anywhere at a convenient time.
You need to exercise every day for 20-30 minutes - be prepared for this. The first results will be noticeable in about a month.
Disadvantages of the technique
A facelift has several disadvantages. It requires self-control and regularity. If the exercises are performed sporadically, the results will not be noticeable.
The technique does not help everyone. You should not expect a stunning effect, like after injections of hyaluronic acid, with deep wrinkles. In addition, each person's regeneration processes occur individually - for some it is faster, for others it is slower.
Doing exercises too hard, not following the technique and putting excessive pressure on the epidermis can cause the appearance of new folds, so you need to take precautions.
As a result of active effects on the blood flow, lymph flow, inflammatory processes and acne may appear on the skin. But they usually go away on their own after a few days.
Benefits of facial gymnastics from Galina Dubinina
The first wrinkles appear early, however, young women do not pay attention to this. Years go by, after 40 years it turns out that there are not only visible wrinkles on the face, but also the oval “swollen”. Appearance spoils the mood, discouraging the desire to approach the mirror. That’s when an assistant in the fight against time comes to the rescue - face forming. Before starting classes, you should find out what result you can realistically get, why this direction is better than others.
- Classes are completely free, everything is in your hands;
- All exercises are adapted to be performed at home;
- Gymnastics does not injure the skin or stretch it;
- Age differentiation allows for an individual approach;
- Recovery occurs not only in the upper layer, but also in the deeper layers due to improved nutrition.

Exercises for nasolabial folds by Galina Dubinina
First, look at our face in the mirror very carefully. What would we like to fix? We looked at ourselves carefully. I’ll tell you that one of the first signs of age, that is, the first age-related change, is precisely the sagging of our cheeks. We develop nasolabial folds. Starting at the age of 25, imperceptibly, barely perceptibly, our cheeks begin to droop, and this is where creases begin to appear.
Gradually, the face sags, and then some even develop jowls or, as they are also called, “bulldog cheeks.” This is really a vicious circle: we look at ourselves in the mirror, we don’t like ourselves, we’re in a bad mood, but this doesn’t make our cheeks rise, but just the opposite.
Facial anatomy
We all know what a person consists of - the skeleton, muscles and skin. And now we will talk about all these components separately, only everything will concern our face.
Scull
Let's start with the skull, with the bone tissue. We know that our skull remains practically unchanged. We will talk to you about the smallest changes, but a little later, but now let’s go a little into the muscles, figure out what it is, what they consist of, and how they work.
Muscles
The muscle tissue from which muscles are built consists of fibers elongated in length and capable of contraction, that is, we understand that the work of a muscle (any muscle) is its contraction. This means that the muscle contracts, which means it works. This is the main function of the fabric.
The muscles of the head are divided into 2 main groups - facial and chewing. How are they different from each other? Let's figure it out.
Chewable
Chewing muscles, like all skeletal muscles, contract and move bones. The muscle contracts, the head turns, the leg rises. That is, they are attached directly to the bones.
Mimic
But mimic ones differ in that they are attached with one end to the bone edge, and the other - into the soft tissue. Let's think about it together. This means that one end is attached rigidly, and the other softly. And what happens if we have a muscle contraction? Yes, wrinkles form.
Now let’s look at the picture and think a little together again. We understand that the contraction of the facial muscles causes the skin to shift, the formation of folds and the rapid change of wrinkles in various combinations.
The facial muscles are relatively thin, they do not have fasta, and are located directly under the skin in a layer of fatty tissue. Their strength is insignificant compared to other skeletal muscles and the muscles on our skull are distributed unevenly, they are located in groups around natural openings: the mouth, nose, ear, and determine the shape and movement of the lips, nostrils and eyelids.
Being subordinate to nerve impulses coming from the brain along the facial nerve, they are exponents of a wide variety of human emotional states. And you and I know that everyone’s emotions and contractions of facial muscles are so different that they cause different folds on our face. But, gradually we develop the habitual formation of wrinkles on our face. We now understand that the formation of facial folds is the work of our muscles, their contraction.
But let's now put a mirror in front of us and look carefully at ourselves. Here a nasolabial fold has formed. We have already talked to you - this is the cheek slowly lowering. How can you and I correct this situation? Let's think about it. The cheek needs to be raised somehow. Look at yourself in the mirror. Where will we lift the cheek so that the nasolabial fold is corrected so that it goes away? You can experiment on one side or the other. You see, just a small movement. Look at yourself.
Now let's figure it out. If we know what a muscle consists of and how it works, let’s think together, why did the cheek droop? What muscles are there that can lift our cheek?
Now look carefully at the picture again. Look carefully! Here is the zygomatic muscle. It is rigidly attached from the zygomatic arch and stretches to the corner of our mouth. Do you remember where it is located?
Reviews
Veronica, 32 years old, Penza, Russia.
“I’ve been doing Dubinina’s exercises for 3 years now, after I noticed wrinkles under the lower eyelid. I like the effect, the wrinkles smoothed out and the facial contour became clear. Previously, I still had a problem - a double chin. Gymnastics helped get rid of it.”
Yulia, 31 years old, Ryazan, Russia.
“When I was little, my mother did similar exercises, and I repeated after her. Now I do facial gymnastics myself. I haven’t noticed any effect yet because I’ve only been doing the exercises for 2 weeks. I hope to see results soon.”
Marina, 40 years old, Moscow, Russia.
“I do exercises selectively. I prefer classes to strengthen the chin muscles and tighten the cheeks. I have been doing gymnastics for several months now. I noticed that the oval of the face became clearer, the cheeks were slightly tightened. I plan to continue training."
Dubinina's facelift is a great way to improve the overall condition of the skin and make the facial contour clearer. This is an excellent alternative to numerous cosmetic procedures and plastic surgeries.

Biography of the author of the technique
Looking at this fragile young woman, it is impossible to think that she could have problems with wrinkles. It is difficult to name the exact year of birth; we only know that his age exceeded 50 years. She was born in Leningrad, from elementary school she was intensely involved in dancing and toured a lot. Having received the profession of chemical technologist, the woman got married and went to her husband’s place of service.
Galina Dubinina begins to teach shaping to residents of a military town; she was drawn to develop in the direction of dance and sports - what she loved so much from childhood. In 1991, she received another education after graduating from the Lesgaft Institute, becoming an aerobics specialist.
After 30 years, every woman faces the first signs of aging, and Dubinina was not spared the changes either. But if someone gives up, taking wrinkles for granted, then this was the impetus for Galina to make her dream of youth come true.
At that time, a book of exercises from Carol Maggio, which Galina studied, was very popular. Having tried all the recommendations, I decided to improve the system, remove most of the negative aspects, leaving the golden grain, and combine it with the recommendations from facial surgeon Reinhold Bentz. As a result, a new Face Forming program was born, which has gained popularity among the fairer sex due to visible results and recognition of its effectiveness by specialists.
School of youth
So, in 2004, the “School of Youth” appeared, founded by Galina Dubinina, which introduces the method to the general public, teaching how to work with the facial muscles. But Galina is one of those who are not used to standing still, her next step is Senior's - a system of exercises to help with pain in the spine and joints. After all, chronic radiculitis, arthrosis, and pinched nerves greatly interfere with enjoying life, constantly reminding you of yourself with unpleasant sensations.
FACE LIFT FOR WOMEN FROM 35-40 YEARS OLD.
Plastic surgeon's recommendations:
1. If you notice such changes on your face
- eyebrow dropped
- wrinkles appeared between the eyebrows
- crow's feet appeared
Then FRONT-TEMPORAL lifting will help you (you can do it on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia)
2. If there are changes on the face:
- cheek sank
- the height of the lower eyelid has increased
- increased contouring of the tear trough
- significant prominence of the nasolabial fold
- “puppet folds” have appeared (folds running from the corners of the mouth downwards)
- very annoying “jowls” appeared
Then lifting the MIDDLE ZONE of the face in combination with plastic surgery of the lower eyelids will help you.
