When you look in the mirror, does the face you see reflected back at you look youthful and revitalized or do you notice the creeping lines, wrinkles and signs of aging? If you would like to discover an easy and affordable way to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles in addition to adding the radiant glow of good health to your appearance, consider practicing Face Yoga.
Face Yoga involves doing a series of exercises that can help to strengthen and tone the more than 50 different muscles that operate your face, neck and scalp. Doing Face Yoga on a regular basis offers both men and women of all ages an affordable way to smooth and soften the lines and wrinkles that gradually begin to appear over time and make an individual look old and tired. There is no need to settle for looking and feeling older than you actually are when by learning a simple and easy to do Face Yoga routine, you can quickly revitalize your facial appearance. There is no need to put off looking younger and more rested because you can’t afford a face lift or other surgical cosmetic procedure because all you need to perform Face Yoga is a mirror and some extra minutes of time devoted to this exercise practice, preferably every day.
Use a wall mirror or one that can stand up by itself so you can have both of your hands free. Smile as you see your reflection, no matter how old you think you look, because in a few short weeks, the effects of Face Yoga will revitalize your appearance. Start by closing your eyes and bringing both hands to your forehead. Imagine that any tension you feel in your forehead is melting away, then use the fingertips of both hands to smooth out your forehead toward your hairline, applying slight pressure with your fingers as you smooth out the skin. Repeat this three times.
Now move your fingers to the edge of each eyebrow, pulling in an upward direction toward your hairline. Repeat this smoothing exercise twice in order to increase circulation in your forehead and to give your eyes a more relaxed appearance. Now raise your eyebrows at the same time you stroke your forehead using the fingers of each hand in a quick upwards motion at least two times.
The next Face Yoga exercise requires you to open your eyes and focus on the tip of your nose, imagining that as you do this movement your forehead is eliminating any wrinkle lines. Then totally relax your face and repeat this facial yoga movement three more times. The next to the last in the series of Face Yoga exercises will probably look and feel silly to you but it can work wonders. It’s called the Lion Face and is great for working all of your facial muscles at the same time it eliminates the tension that can cause wrinkles.
For the Lion Face, open your eyes as wide as you can as through you were just surprised, then stick out your tongue as you open your mouth very wide and stretch your tongue in a downward direction as far as you can. Repeat three more times. For the final exercise, close your eyes as you inhale, then tighten all of your facial muscles as hard as you can, counting to five before you exhale loudly and completely relax the tension. Repeat this step twice. Enjoy a drink of cool water to keep your skin well hydrated and congratulate yourself for using Face Yoga to help remove unwanted wrinkles
If after doing your exercises for several weeks, you still notice deep, unsightly wrinkle lines that won’t respond to yoga exercises, then consider scheduling an appointment with a facial cosmetic expert to discuss how botox injections can benefit your appearance. But botox injections should only be a last resort. By practicing Face Yoga daily and by being patient and persistent with this form of exercise, you are sure to notice a big difference in your appearance in just a short amount of time.
