The sampling technique used Purposive sampling with a total sample of 78 samples where the subject spat saliva 2 times before facial exercise, then performed facial exercise, the subject fasted for one hour and the subject was asked to spit saliva again 2 times.Result: The results of this study were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test. The gender of the respondents was mostly female as many as 68 people (86.1%), while male respondents were 11 people (13.9%), the average age of respondents in this study was 65 years old with the most respondents aged 68 years, the average salivary secretion before facial exercise 1.11 ml and the average after facial exercise 1.62 ml the results of statistical analysis of significance p value 0.001 (p < 0.05) showed a significant difference between the amount of salivary secretion before and after doing facial exercise.Conclusion: The   conclusion  of   this   study  is   that   facial  exercise  has an  effect on  increasing the  amount of salivary secretion in elderly.
