Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hi , I'm glad you wrote that about not puckering the lips. I didn't realize that was why the straw analogy was used. I noticed that if I'm not careful my lips do tend to pucker up so I'll have to watch that as I don't want wrinkles. Geesh, I quit smoking over 30 years ago so I can do without the puckering now. hehe. thanks. marylene > > Hi Karma, > > Actually, when they have done other articles they did the same thing.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 That's exactly why you don't want to pucker your lips lene, you will create wrinkles. None of us need help with they, eh? he he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Connie, one thing that works to help people visualize is to try to blow on your chin. That will help you blow through your lips without puckering. See if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Jenni, It depends upon how you are doing it. Can you gently drink through a straw say if you are drinking water? BUT if you are drinking a milkshake you would pucker more right? he he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Okay...I'm confused here.....don't you have to pucker if you are blowing through the straw? Sorry, having a gray-haired moment. love, Jenni Re: re: puckering the lips () That's exactly why you don't want to pucker your lips lene, you will create wrinkles.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Oh NO!!! How do you blow through a straw and NOT pucker your lips??? I have not noticed any more lines around my lips, but then I am always looking at how my eyes sparkle. I don't need any more lines that is for sure! Ok, HOW???

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Guess what, everyone!! I have a partial congenital paralysis of my facial muscles which is a byproduct of my birth defective eye condition. I have been told by many doctors over the last number of decades that because of my partial congenital facial paralysis, I would NEVER wrinkle, at least NOT in my face!!! I figure that that means that I may feel free to PUCKER MY LIPS while I do my LL breathing to my heart's content and actually GET AWAY WITH IT!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! What do you all have to say about that?????? Love always, Pat faytk@... wrote: > That's exactly why you don't want to pucker your lips lene, you will > create wrinkles.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hi Connie, Well, I guess that you COULD blow the air out of your mouth through partly closed lips. Wouldn't doing that at least REDUDE the puckering of your lips while you do your LL breathing!!! And what do you know, everyone!!! I made a pun!!!! Does anyone see what it is from what I wrote????? PUN MY WORD!!!!! Love always, Pat conistar12 wrote: > Oh NO!!!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 ....tee hee! I don't know if I do anything gentle anymore...it's more like can I get the old body to do what I want it to! I like the advice you gave Connie. I tried that and it is much different then what I was doing. Hopefully it will help with these awful lines above my mouth...I'm really getting old lady lines there ...ugh! love, Jenni Re: re: puckering the lips () Jenni, It depends upon how you are doing it.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 hi tracy, thank you for the tip. It's an easier way to remember NOT to pucker. I tried it this morning & it worked great, I also tried blowing down to the chest & that worked too. thanks marylene > > Connie, > > one thing that works to help people visualize is to try to blow on your chin. > That will help you blow through your lips without puckering. > > See if that helps. > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
