Face yoga

“The latest skin care trend is fitness, but for your face”

What is Face Yoga?

We all have tiny, delicate muscles in our faces that we don’t even realise we have. Just as we work the muscles in the body through physical yoga or the gym, the face muscles also need to be worked in order to stay strong, firm and lifted.

Face Yoga is a workout for those muscles that has many benefits. It helps erasing wrinkles and sagging skin by releasing tension, activating, lifting, and toning the facial muscles. It is a natural way to maintain healthy skin and looking younger through a combination of facial exercises, massage, acupressure, and relaxation.

How does Face Yoga help?

Reducing wrinkles and lines

As the muscles are toned and lifted through the various regular exercises practiced in Face Yoga, the skin attached to the muscles is also lifted and becomes tauter. What can results include?

  • Reducing forehead and frown lines.
  • Reducing dark circles, eyebags and puffiness under the eyes.
  • getting rid of droopy eyelids.
  • Reducing nasolabial fold (lines along the sides of mouth).
  • Uplifting corners of the mouth.
  • Reducing double chin and crow’s feet.
  • Tightening neck and jawline.
  • Plumper, more defined lips.
  • Raising your cheeks.
  • More symmetrical face.
  • Getting rid of skin impurities.
  • Improving the appearance of scars.
Improving blood circulation

Regular exercise and massage to the face and neck help increase circulation; this will activate your lymphatic and blood systems, which will help remove toxins.

Improving collagen

Face Yoga includes massage techniques; when done regularly, they improve and increase collagen and elastin, promoting better skin tone and reducing puffiness and dark circles.

Reducing tension

In Face Yoga, we explore pressure points. These ancient techniques help balance and increase the energy within the face, and this helps reduce tension and stress, promoting better circulation and a glow to the skin.

Encouraging better breathing

To get the best results when practicing Face Yoga breathing correctly is an important part. Every cell within your body, especially your face, requires oxygen. When performing Face Yoga, you are encouraged to work with the breath for each exercise encouraging better breathing.

Increasing relaxation

Face Yoga allows you to learn more about yourself and hold tension in the face and release the tension through massage, pressure points, and relaxation. Deep wrinkles and lines can appear due to facial expressions or stress, so when you learn to relax tension in the face, it encourages a more youthful appearance.

Promoting overall wellbeing

Overall, Face Yoga can give you a sense of wellbeing, physically, mentally and spiritually. You are holding space for yourself and doing something that will help you look and feel calmer, energized, and radiant. In addition to that, it helps combat headaches and improve your eyesight.

Faq

Face Yoga is for everyone. If you want to look and feel glowing and healthy then Face Yoga is for you. It’s never too early neither too late to start. No matter your age, sex, culture, or genetics are, facial exercises can work for you because practicing Face Yoga can have a positive effect on your confidence and your sense of well-being. At any age you can lift and tone your muscles and boost your circulation. That’s the beauty of it! 

Face workout is pure physics. With age and due to the gravitation, our face muscles start to sag and lose volume. That’s why we start seeing wrinkles, double chin, or we feel like our face is tired and drained. There are more than 57 muscles on our face, and we don’t use most of them. When we begin training our facial muscles, we lift them up, tone them and give them volume. The skin always follows the muscles. If the muscles are on their place, the skin stops sagging and wrinkling. Face yoga has been shown to improve the structural appearance of your face by strengthening the muscles of the cheekbones and face, according to research. In a small 2018 study, participants made up of middle-aged women learned 32 facial exercises. Over 20 weeks, they did Face Yoga for 30-minute intervals, either daily or every other day. At the end of the study, upper and lower cheek fullness improved, and the estimated age of participants decreased.

You have to do facial exercises six to seven days a week for 15-20 minutes per day, “It’s just like going to the gym”. To obtain good results, you have to do Face Yoga consistently. It should become part of your daily routine. Consistency and effort in anything bring results, and it is no different when it comes to Face Yoga.

Face Yoga is gentle and effective for most people but if you have any health issues or skin concerns, please check with your doctor prior to starting Face Yoga and always work to your own level.

Yes! One of the beauties of the Face Yoga is it can be practiced and/or combined with other face treatments. Please check with your doctor prior to starting Face Yoga if you have had surgery or injectable.

Not at all. If you do the techniques correctly, they work the neck and face in a controlled way. When you go to the gym and work your body out, you improve body flexibility, muscle strength and skin texture. The same principle applies to the face. When we do Face Yoga exercises, we work on muscle resistance, firm the facial muscles, and create a lift to produce a more youthful look. So, as you exercise your face, you are building muscle fibers, which helps reduce wrinkles. You just have to make sure you use a mirror when you’re starting out, to make sure you smooth the skin with your hands instead of wrinkling it.

No, Face Yoga doesn’t come with any harmful side effects. It is non-toxic, non-invasive, and completely safe for everyone. It’s also affordable and can be done on your own time.

Results vary from one person to another. Everyone’s face structure is different, and results differ based on people’s lifestyles, genetics, and dedication. You may be aware of some changes straight away in the way the muscles feel in the face, less tension and puffiness, along with a lovely glow to the skin. Long-term improvements start to become visible after about two weeks, and from there, it just gets better and better. Like with body exercise also with Face Yoga the results will show faster if you are eating healthy, sleep well, and if you take care of yourself on all levels. Stress and other emotions show on your face more than you think. keep in mind that your progress may vary from day to day. For this reason and to keep yourself motivated I highly recommend taking before/after pictures (every two weeks after starting practicing Face Yoga).

Of course it does! as you go to trusted and certified professionals for all of your other health needs, you should also be sure you are seeking Face Yoga guidance from a Certified Face Yoga Teacher. Would you go to a general practitioner for lungs issues? Would you ask a teacher for nutritional advice? No. Make sure not to practice “any” video you see online as some of them can really harm your face. Always trust the source before doing Face Yoga.

You can do Face Yoga at any age! it’s never too late. “Prevention is better than cure” so the sooner you start, the better. The beauty of the muscles is that they grow and rejuvenate at any age, however, it’s better to start in a younger age when your facial muscles are still active so they won’t become atrophied as you grow older. I advise young people to start as soon as possible and make Face Yoga a daily habit in their life, it will be easier to continue and maintain their youthful look for a long time and prevent any aging concern before it happens. If you see some wrinkles and sagging skin, Face Yoga can still help you achieve smoother skin and toned facial muscles. We could say that it helps you slow down the aging process.
