You might think this is a gag gift, like
many other things you see online, but the Facial Pao Fitness is real and
available now in Japan. It's basically a device with a round plastic mouthpiece
and plastic paddle wings on either side. To start the workout, just hold the
device firmly in your mouth and bob your head up and down to swing the paddles.
According to its manufacturer, SHLAB, performing this exercise for 30 seconds,
twice a day, can significantly tone up facial muscles, making a person look
much younger.
According to Oddity Central, "There
are supposedly three major benefits of using the Pao - firming up smile lines,
firming the facial contour and turning up the corners of the mouth. The SHLAB
website claims that the product works on five main facial muscles - the lesser
zygomatic, the greater zygomatic, the cheek, the risorius and the orbicularis
oris."
