Face yoga is a series of facial exercises intended to lift, tone and activate your facial muscles to achieve a more youthful look and improve your skin’s appearance. Furthermore, face yoga stimulates and improves the blood flow, which increases collagen and elastin production, resulting in tighter and plumper skin. Improving blood circulation has additional benefits such as improving concentration and combating headaches.
Studies have proven that daily exercise can reduce signs of aging. I have also realized that you are boosting energy levels and improving well-being when you prioritize yourself by looking at your face daily, reading its signals and listening to your inner voice. I consider this vital for you to not only look your best but also to be happy in life.
We all want to be happy and look energized!
It’s ideal to practice face yoga twice a day for faster results, but if you only have time for once a day, that’s absolutely fine. Ideally, do face yoga in the morning to awaken your facial muscles and again before going to bed to release all the tension you’ve accumulated during the day and to reset your face. Remember also that paying attention to sleeping habits and facial expressions during the day is vital for you to achieve the greatest results.
I would normally say that each yoga pose should be done 3 times. I recommend doing 5 poses in each session, whereas the first pose is a warm-up pose to prepare your face for action. The warm-up doesn’t need to take long, but just as you would walk a little before starting to run, do the same thing here. After warming up, you are ready and able to focus on the specific muscles you want to target.
Be patient and remember that everything new takes time to learn. Sometimes you’ll wrinkle your forehead, hold your breath or tense up while performing a pose because you’re focusing too much. It’s all good – soon you’ll be familiar with the poses, your facial expressions and muscles and will find it fascinating that YOU are now in charge of your facial moves.
You’ll probably look in the mirror and wonder if you’re doing the poses correctly. My best advice to you is, don’t overdo, pull, or force it. Less is more, and as long as you’re doing this consistently, you’ll eventually see results. When you buy the online 6-Week Lift & Sculpt Course, you’ll also be part of my closed Facebook group where I go live online to support you in your journey and where we all lift, motivate and share experiences, tips, before/after pictures, etc.
The facial muscles, unlike body muscles, are small and delicate, so it can be hard in the beginning to isolate and activate one specific area. Therefore, my 6-Week Lift & Sculpt Course is divided into 6-week sessions, during which we’ll first target the forehead and eye areas, and then our cheeks, mouth, nasolabial lines and finally the neck and jawline area, so that you can target those area(s) that you need to improve after completing the course.
It’s important to follow a structured program if you want to achieve lasting results. Performing poses randomly will never have the same effect as following the right sequence of exercises. Consider me your personal face trainer. I have gathered the best of both worlds (cosmetology and face yoga) in my online 6-Week Lift & Sculpt Course so you don’t have to worry about which exercises to do daily or how to do them.
It takes approximately 15 minutes. a day. Perform your daily routine both morning and evening for faster results.
It’s individual, so you shouldn’t compare yourself to others. Some people see results after 2 weeks, while others may wait up to 2 months to see a difference. It depends very much on age, lifestyle and your commitment level.
