What is facial yoga?
The first thing to understand is: Facial yoga does not involve the body pose or down dog pose that you are familiar with in yoga practice. "Facial Yoga" is just a way of facial exercises that can move facial muscles to specific positions-a bit like yoga poses. Performing these exercises will make your face look firmer and younger, lift up sagging areas, and make you younger.
The purpose of facial yoga is to improve blood circulation, make you radiant, and reduce facial pressure and tension. We maintain a nervous expression most of the time, whether it is facial expressions or body. This is why we should focus more on relaxing our facial muscles to get rid of facial tension.
The benefits of facial yoga:
- can release tension to minimize the appearance of wrinkles
- eyes, cheeks, strengthen and adjust facial muscles Tighten the chin
- increase the blood circulation of the skin and make the skin glow
- smoothes fine lines and wrinkles and counteracts the effects of gravity
