Hello Cath,
There are a number of simple exercises that you can do, away from the clarinet, to strengthen the embouchure. I recommend Michael Lowenstern's "QT" exercise here: https://youtu.be/B4d2gpRysZY
The corners, and the muscles they're attached to, are pivotal for flexibility and endurance. Some people want their corners moving in towards the mouthpiece, others "smile" away, and everything in between. Lowenstern's exercise is beneficial regardless of what your preference is, and promotes strength and flexibility.
Good luck!
