Today’s life is associated with enormous haste and lack of time for oneself. Each of us thinks that the cosmetics themselves will do wonders for us. And it is, in a way, the way it is, but we will achieve the best and most visible effects to the naked eye only when other rituals are also added to the daily care, for example, the recently fashionable face yoga.
Before you get started, we have some tips for you!
- Remember, if you want visible results, it is important that you exercise regularly and properly. Properly performed facial gymnastics will reduce the depth of wrinkles and provide your skin with the relaxation it needs. Thanks to regularity, you will see the first results after 2-3 weeks, when the muscles will increase in volume and the skin tone will visibly improve.
- The basis of yoga is relaxation. It is very important to learn how to relax your muscles properly. So the exercises are mainly about “making faces” – relaxing individual muscles and then tightening them.
- First, do the exercises in front of the mirror to be sure you are doing it correctly. Once you’ve mastered the basics, you’ll be able to do them almost anywhere and anytime!

The exercise prevents the skin under the eyes from falling and sagging and withdraws the already formed “crow’s feet”. Smile and then place your fingertips over the wrinkles around your eyes.

Do them regularly for 20 repetitions, and when you get into practice, you can even raise this number to 40.
A stretched smile
Place your fingers – index and middle fingers over the corners of the mouth. Part your lips then pull them outward sharply while trying to pout your lips. Repeat several times. With this exercise, you will strengthen the muscles responsible for the drooping of the corners of your mouth.

Transfer the pressure in your mouth from one cheek to the other until you feel the need to take another breath.
Tense lips
Another exercise also significantly improves the condition of the skin around the mouth. Open your mouth, try to make a movement as if you want to reach your lips forward, hard and far. At the same time, touch the back of the teeth with your tongue and bring your hands to your face, resisting the muscles stretching your lips. Repeat this exercise 3 times a day.
A raised forehead
It allows you to strengthen the largest muscle in the forehead. Tighten and lift the muscles above your brow, which is simply frowning. Then try to smooth the wrinkles from the base of the eyebrows towards the temples with your fingertips. Repeat this exercise 20 times at a fairly quick pace. Don’t worry about the reddening of the forehead, it is due to the increased blood circulation in this area.
