How To Do Face Yoga For Younger Looking Skin

Although face yoga is known as the non-invasive alternative to botox and surgery, how exactly does it help banish fine lines and wrinkles, and firm sagging skin?

Face yoga works the hypodermis (lower layer of the skin), dermis (middle layer of the skin), and epidermis (upper layer of the skin).

The techniques used during a face yoga are designed to stimulate collagen and elastin production, giving you smoother, supple, and younger-looking skin. These techniques involve gentle acupressure, a classic technique that increases the energy on the face.

When these techniques are done correctly, face yoga helps increase blood circulation, allowing more nourishment and oxygen to reach the cells of the skin.

Everyone has a different face structure, so results may vary from person to person.

However, here are 3 facial exercises that’ll keep your face smooth, firm, and youthful. We recommend doing these for 20 minutes, 6 times a week, for better results.
