Yoga exercises for the face are easy and convenient — and they show results! They restore the flow of blood to your facial muscles, which gives your skin a healthy glow, and they can also smooth out wrinkles and help turn a flabby frown into a confident smile.
You don’t need much of anything to begin practicing facial yoga. Just a mirror and the determination to spend ten minutes a day in front of the mirror, making faces.
Here are some of the best facial yoga exercises to give your looks a more youthful, energetic, appearance:
The lion
Open eyes wide. Open mouth wide. Stick out the tongue as far as you comfortably can. Hold this pose for the count of five. Relax. Repeat at least six times.
The monkey
Purse your lips as if about to kiss someone. Keep your eyes half shut. Breath in and out through your nose only, for a count of ten. Then relax. Repeat at least half a dozen times.
Hurricane
Take a deep breath. Exhale forcefully while keeping your lips closed, but not tightened; letting the air flow past your lips so that they make a flapping motion. Concentrate on relaxing your lip muscles so they feel as if they will drop off your face. Repeat this a dozen times; you’ll be surprised how pleasant the tingling feeling for your entire lower face.
