Facial yoga: 25 facts why it makes you look younger

Fighting wrinkles and sagging skin with creams is a bit like thinking you're sporty just because you watch football. Nothing comes from nothing. Gravity won't spare your face just because it has the most expensive cream on it. Your face needs exercise! Let's talk about facial yoga.

It's a shame. There is something that costs nothing, is available to every woman every day and yet hardly anyone uses it: facial yoga! There is too little guidance, too little safety and too many myths surrounding this method. That's why you can find out everything you need to know here before you get involved in facial yoga. I myself have been practising facial yoga for years and have a Book I’ve written about it and taught it to hundreds of women.

1. the positive effect of facial yoga has been scientifically confirmed

An American study was published in the journal *JAMA Dermatology*, in which the anti-ageing effects of facial yoga were scientifically proven for the first time. Facial yoga can make you look years younger and prevent new wrinkles from forming. I’ve personally managed to get rid of my frown lines thanks to it.

2. facial yoga improves your appearance from day one

"Have you had Botox injections?" You are sometimes confronted with this question when you start doing facial yoga. You notice the positive effects on your face after the very first session. You look relaxed and somehow "smoother". The tissue is firmer and your complexion is beautifully rosy.

3. facial yoga reverses the "downward trend" in your face

As we get older, we lose 30 to 40 % of muscle mass. Your face needs exercise too! By building muscle in specific areas, you can not only halt this downward trend but even reverse it. That’s how you can make yourself look years younger.

4. facial yoga replaces the lost subcutaneous fat

What makes a young face look plump, like a peach, is the subcutaneous fat which, unfortunately, we lose as we age. Facial yoga consists of targeted exercises that help your facial muscles build mass. This muscle mass replaces the volume your face has lost.

5. facial yoga makes your skin firmer

This is partly because the skin receives a good supply of blood every time you practise, allowing the lymph fluid to drain away. It’s also because your muscles gain volume, which makes your face look a bit fuller and more attractive again.

6. facial yoga reduces and/or removes wrinkles

As your skin tightens, some fine lines will disappear and others will be significantly reduced. Imagine what it looks like when the forehead muscle sags and presses down on your eyebrows. A few exercises can work wonders here.

7. facial yoga makes your eyes bigger and brighter

By exercising the large forehead muscle and the orbicularis oculi muscle, my eyebrows are lifted and my upper eyelid regains its firmness. Now, at 42, my eyes look more alert than they did in photos taken 20 years ago!

8. facial yoga reduces bags under your eyes

The lymphatic system thrives on movement. As soon as you start practising, the lymph fluid starts to move and drains away. After your workout, your under-eye bags will be significantly reduced or will have disappeared completely.

9. facial yoga reduces your nasolabial folds

These lines appear because the muscles in your cheeks have become slack and are sagging. Even in very slim women, the growing muscles create sufficient volume to smooth out the nasolabial folds.

10. facial yoga makes your lips fuller

The fullness of the lips diminishes as we age. Facial yoga provides excellent firming and natural plumping, without the need for surgery or injections.

13. facial yoga removes your double chin

Regular exercises strengthen the tissue in the neck and throat area. This helps to burn away fat and tones the hyoid muscle, creating a defined contour.

My story & getting started on the course

Before I started doing facial yoga, I had frown lines and drooping corners of my mouth. Facial yoga gave me a completely new sense of my body. It’s about so much more than just wrinkles. Today, I feel fit from head to toe.
