Spend 5 mins a day, and get a toned face
What's the story
Face yoga is a natural way to enhance your facial appearance by toning and relaxing the muscles. It involves simple exercises that can be done anywhere, without any equipment. For beginners, starting with gentle poses can help in understanding the basics and gradually improving facial muscle strength. These exercises not only promote relaxation but also improve circulation, leading to a healthier-looking complexion.
Cheek lift
The cheek lifter
The cheek lifter is an excellent exercise for toning the cheek muscles. To do this pose, open your mouth to make an "O" shape and place your upper lip over your teeth. Smile to lift the cheek muscles up, then drop back into the "O" shape. Repeat this 10 times for best results. This exercise helps in firming up sagging cheeks, enhancing facial contours.
Jaw release
The jaw release exercise
The jaw release exercise focuses on the jawline and neck region, relieving tension and enhancing definition. Begin by sitting comfortably with your spine straight. Move your jaw as if you're chewing but keep your lips closed. Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale while humming softly. Repeat this exercise five times to feel relaxation in the jaw region.
Forehead smooth
The forehead smoother
Forehead smoother reduces forehead lines by relaxing tension in that area. Simply place both your hands on your forehead, fingers spread out between eyebrows and hairline. Gently sweep fingers outwards across the forehead while applying light pressure, repeating this motion 10 times. This technique smoothens out wrinkles and promotes a relaxed expression.
Eye focus
The eye focus technique
The eye focus technique strengthens eye muscles and reduces puffiness around the eyes. Sit comfortably with a straight back and look straight ahead. Then move eyes upward without moving the head or neck. Hold for five seconds before returning the gaze forward again. Repeat five times each session daily if possible. This practice enhances alertness while minimizing under-eye bags effectively over time.
