In the quest for graceful aging, achieving smooth, firm, and lifted skin is a common desire. While facelifts and Botox injections are popular options, there’s an alternative method gaining attention: facial yoga. This practice involves specific poses and massages designed to strengthen the skin and diminish signs of aging. Beyond its anti-aging effects, facial yoga offers relaxation and tension release, particularly in areas like the muscles around the eyes and temples, promoting a sense of tranquility.
Forehead Soother: Place both hands on your forehead with fingertips meeting at the center. Apply gentle pressure as you slide fingertips outward towards temples. Repeat several times.
Cheek Enhancer: Form an “O” shape with your mouth, then smile widely while maintaining the “O” shape. Hold briefly, then relax. Repeat to tone cheek muscles.
Eye Revitalizer: Position index fingers under eyebrows, applying light pressure. Squint eyes as if closing them tightly against finger resistance. Hold briefly, then release. Repeat to firm eye area.
Jawline Refiner: Gently tilt head back and look upward. Jut lower jaw forward, holding briefly. Relax and repeat to strengthen jawline muscles. Alternatively, try kissing movements while looking up.
Neck Firmer: Sit upright and tilt head back, gazing at the ceiling. Pucker lips as if attempting to kiss the ceiling. Hold momentarily, then relax. Repeat to tighten neck and chin muscles.
