5 Revitalising Face Yoga Fitness Exercises to Lift the Skin

Designed to improve the complexion whilst invigorating both mind and body, discover the rejuvenating power of face yoga with these targeted techniques

We are about to step into five powerful Face Yoga Fitness exercises that will not only lift your skin and reduce wrinkles but also rejuvenate your mind and body. As the world-leading Face Yoga expert, I've witnessed the transformative effects of these exercises on countless individuals. 

Before we dive into the exercises, let's explore the science behind Face Yoga. Research has shown that facial exercises can stimulate blood flow, increase collagen production, and improve muscle tone. These physiological changes contribute to a youthful complexion, but they also have far-reaching benefits for your overall well-being. 

When you do Face Yoga Fitness, you're also engaging your facial muscles, releasing tension, and promoting relaxation which helps your skin rebound from the stress of daily life. This combination of physical and mental well-being enhances mood, reduces fatigue, and contributes to a sense of vitality and positivity. 

I recommend you apply an oil before doing your techniques. If you are doing this in the morning apply a little Almora Botanica Radiance Day Face Oil or Restorative Day Face Oil or if you prefer an evening routine, it’s great to use Almora Botanica Nourishing Night Face Oil or Restorative Night Face Oil.

Now, let's get started with the five rejuvenating Face Yoga Fitness exercises that will help you rebound and lift not just your skin but your spirits as well. 

1. Smooth the forehead 

One of my favourite techniques to smooth lines and wrinkles in the forehead area involves using the finger knuckles on both hands. You simply place your fists on your forehead and smooth your knuckles outwards and away from each other. Do this for up to 1 minute to help relax tension in your main forehead muscle to soften any expression lines here.

2. Strengthen the skin around the eyes

This exercise focuses on lifting and strengthening your eyebrow muscles. Place your index fingers lightly under your eyebrow area and slightly push your eyebrows upwards, taking care not to create too many lines in the forehead area. Hold for 10 seconds as you slowly close your eyes against the resistance of your fingers. You should feel a little ‘shaking sensation’. Repeat 3 more times, each exercise should take 10 seconds. Afterwards use your fingers to smooth any creases that may have been temporarily formed on your forehead.

3. Sculpt the jawline 

This will help to release tension in your jaw and neck while contouring your cheeks and jawline. Close your mouth and place your thumbs under your jawline, just behind your chin. Apply gentle upward pressure with your thumbs while slightly opening your mouth. Hold for 10 seconds, then release. Repeat this exercise three times. This helps sculpt your jawline but also relieves jaw tension, reducing stress and promoting relaxation. 

4. Connect to the neck

This exercise targets your neck, chin, and jawline. Sit or stand with your back straight. Tilt your head back and look up at the ceiling. Pucker your lips, as if trying to kiss the ceiling. Make a kissing sound 30-60 times. This is perfect for strengthening the neck muscles and minimizing the appearance of a double chin. 

5. Bring air to the cheeks

This will help your cheeks look lifted, toned and rebound from expression lines more effectively. Puff your cheeks out full of air and transfer the air from cheek to cheek. Do this for 30-60 seconds, using your fingers of one hand to smooth any little lines around your mouth. Breathe deeply with your nose as you do this cheek strengthening exercise.

By incorporating these five Face Yoga Fitness exercises into your daily routine, you'll not only enhance the appearance of your skin but also elevate your mood, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. Remember that consistency is key to seeing lasting results.

These exercises are not just about physical appearance; they are about feeling your best, inside and out. Your radiant skin will be a reflection of the positivity and vitality that you cultivate through your Face Yoga practice.
