Most of us believe that there's no natural cure for a double chin, chubby cheeks, and
wrinkles. Well, you're in for a big surprise then, 'cause face yoga can easily make your
features flawless! You just have to do these simple but highly effective exercises...
Improving your blood circulation Before you even begin your face yoga, you
have to get the blood going. It’s like a little warm-up for your face.
So before you start the exercises, place the palms of your hands on your temples and close
your eyes. Now stretch the skin of your forehead to the sides just slightly and stick your
tongue out as far as you can. Stay in this position, inhaling through your nose and exhaling
through your mouth, for a couple of seconds and let go. Continue to do so for about 30
seconds and your face is ready for the ultimate transformation!
Sculpting your jawline Why use makeup to contour a perfect jawline,
when you can easily sculpt one? It only takes one simple exercise that should be repeated
every single day! First off, you should place the palms of your
hands on both sides of your chin just along your jawline. Then, slightly push your chin
upward, creating resistance in your neck muscles. And don't forget to keep your head straight!
Hold this position for a couple of seconds and release.
Doing this at least 10-15 times a day will make your jawline way more defined. Just try
and see!
Tightening your chin Having a gorgeous jawline is impossible without
a tight chin, so here's another face yoga exercise you should definitely check out.
Place your index and middle fingers on your cheeks right next to your nose. Slightly open
your mouth and curl your lower lip inward, toward your teeth. From this position try
to smile as wide as you possibly can, keeping your lower lip in place. You can also make
the exercise extra challenging and curl your lower lip inward more 'till you feel a stretch
in your chin. Be careful, though, and drop the exercise immediately at any sign of pain.
Strengthening your cheeks Now let's move right along to your cheeks!
To make them look good and get more defined cheekbones, you have to work on your face
muscles. And this next exercise can take care of it!
Start with placing the index, middle, and ring fingers of your right hand on your mouth
and the palm of your left hand on your left cheek. From here take a deep breath through
your nose and try to puff air into your cheeks, all while keeping your mouth closed and pressing
on your left cheek. Hold it for 2-3 seconds and let go.
This is a complex exercise, so make sure to do it about 10 times for each side of your
face. Keep it gentle and stop the exercise right away if you feel any pain or discomfort.
Relaxing your eye muscles Now if your cheeks need strengthening to look
awesome, your eyes just need some time to relax! You can also use this exercise to get
rid of dark circles and make your eyes look fresh after a sleepless night.
So place your fingers above and below your eyes, making a V shape. Your eyes should be
between your middle and ring fingers with your index and middle fingers on your eyebrows
and your ring and little fingers right below your eyes. From here, gently stretch the skin
around your eyes up and down with your fingers, freeze for a sec, and return back to the starting
position. Repeat the exercise like this for no more
than 30 seconds and you're all set!
Sharpening your nose A nose job is one of the most popular surgeries
all around the world! But in reality, you don't really have to go under the knife to
improve the shape of your nose – instead, do this exercise.
Make loose fists with your hands and place them above your upper lip. Your index fingers
should be right below your nostrils. Start to gently stretch the skin under your nose
down, hold it for a moment, and get back to the initial position. As always, do the same
thing for 30 seconds straight to finish the exercise.
Of course, you won't see mind-blowing results right away. But a tiny bit of patience and
you'll notice your nose transforming!
Removing wrinkles around your mouth Wrinkles around the mouth aren't that easy
to get rid of – these suckers know how to stand their ground. The only thing that can
change your look is cosmetic procedures or this face yoga exercise.
If you wanna try it out, place the palms of your hands on your cheeks with your fingers
pointing behind you. Open your mouth and put the tip of your tongue on your palate. Then,
carefully stretch the skin around your nose at the sides, all while pushing your tongue
toward your palate. I know, this is not a good look, but you should do it for about
30 seconds – I promise, the results are worth it!
Reducing your forehead wrinkles While we're on the topic of wrinkles, you
shouldn't forget about the ones on your forehead. We all have them but, thankfully, they aren't
that hard to get rid of either! All you have to do is place the palms of your
hands on your temples and gently push your hands toward your scalp line. If you do everything
correctly, you'll feel a stretch in your forehead and a little bit under your eyes. Repeat this
for 20-30 seconds tops and enjoy your brand new youthful look!
Preventing sagging eyelids Face yoga is good not only at dealing with
your insecurities but also at preventing them from appearing. Now I don't know what's on
the top of your list but mine is certainly sagging eyelids, and this exercise really
helps me out. Place the tips of your index, middle, and
ring fingers on your eyebrows and close your eyes. Push your eyebrows up 'till you feel
a gentle stretch in the area above your eyelids and then go back to the initial position.
Continue doing the same thing for around 30 seconds and the face yoga routine is complete!
Now before you try the whole routine out, there are a couple more things you need to
know: • The best time for face yoga is the morning
hours right after you wake up. This tones your muscles and reduce puffiness from the
night before. So wash your face as always, apply your moisturizer, and go on with your
face exercises! • Don't forget that your skin should be
treated gently. If you perform the exercises too harsh, you can get bruises, so no additional
force. • And finally, patience. This face yoga
can work wonders but it's completely natural which means that it won't be quick. Your job
is to do it regularly and thoroughly and your face will follow!
