Face Yoga: Face yoga consists of some easy poses that you should massage or tap on your face in certain directions, which stimulate your facial muscles and increase blood flow, giving you a glowing face. According to a 2018 study, facial “yoga” helps to enhance the look of the skin and can rejuvenate an aging face, most likely due to the development of underlying muscles.
Your skin will always be healthy with facial yoga in two important ways:
1) The muscles that make up our face sag with age. By strengthening these facial muscles with facial yoga, our skin will remain glowing.
2) It improves blood circulation, giving the skin a healthy glow and making it look younger.
Inner peace and spiritual harmony are important components of our daily beauty routine. We rarely consider the fact that most of our skin problems are related to multiple fluid imbalances in our body, poor blood flow, lack of exercise and even stress.
Malaika Arora, an actress, continues to inspire us with her dedication towards fitness and wellness. Malaika often publishes her fitness inspiration series, which showcases the health benefits of various asanas. The star recently shared three face yoga poses for glowing skin on Instagram.
Performing face yoga does not require a lot of effort or time. You can practice anytime and anywhere. All you need to do is set aside 15 minutes each day to start enjoying the benefits.
Here are three face yoga poses you should try:
1. Pufferfish Face
Try to fill air in your mouth as much as possible. To fill in extra air, fill your cheeks. You can also cover your lips with two fingers to prevent air from escaping. Now blow air from one side to the other as fast as possible. For glowing skin and plump cheeks, try it every day for a while.
2. Simple Tapping Pose
Since Koreans have shown that this is the key to their youthful looking skin, why not give it a try? Face tapping is a technique that helps bring blood circulation back to the entire face, giving you a quick and simple glow. To do this workout, all you need to do is pat your entire face lightly with your fingertips. Also, you can practice this as you apply moisturizer on your face.
3. Big ‘O’
Straighten your back, open your eyes, and form the letter “O” with your lips. Hold on to it as long as you can. You can start with 10 seconds and gradually increase the duration to 30 seconds. This exercise is ideal for increasing blood flow, giving your skin a healthy glow, and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
So, add these facial yoga poses to your regular fitness routine to start seeing the benefits in just a few weeks! If you practice yoga regularly, your skin will be smooth and wrinkle-free, making you look at least ten years younger.
To get the skin you always wanted, help yourself by adopting a clean and green diet including more fruits, salads, natural juices, pulses, and leafy vegetables.
