Facial yoga has been a part of my life for so long that I sometimes forget that others are not as familiar with it as I am. So it happens that I am asked the same question again and again when I have posted some facial yoga exercises. So here I explain the basics of this great method.<\/h4>\n

1 What is facial yoga?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Facial yoga is a method that trains the muscles of the face. This is very important because we lose 30 - 40% of muscle mass as we get older. That's a lot! Look at what gives your face the shape it has:<\/h2>\n

No cream in the world - and no Botox injection - can replace the loss of muscle mass and firmness. Only targeted exercises can do that.\u00a0<\/h2>\n

I have good news for all sceptics: the positive effect of facial yoga has been scientifically confirmed. Why should it be important for the body to train its muscles and not for the face?\u00a0<\/h2>\n

2 What does facial yoga do?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Facial yoga tones the muscles. This means that the face regains more support. The forehead muscle is able to hold the eyebrows up, the upper eyelid therefore has sufficient space and is also tightened. This reduces sagging cheeks and prevents nasolabial and frown lines.<\/h2>\n

However, facial yoga also ensures that the muscles gain volume. As our subcutaneous fat decreases and the face loses substance, we try to grow the muscles so that the lost volume is replaced and the skin can tighten again.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course there are side effects. The intensive work of the tissue improves blood circulation and the supply to the skin. As our muscles are interconnected, facial yoga exercises have a very positive effect on the neck muscles. Jaw problems improve, tinnitus often disappears and the lymphatic system starts to move. Immediately after practising, the face appears firmer, more relaxed and better supplied with blood.<\/h2>\n

3. how often should you do facial yoga?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

You can do facial yoga 5 to 6 times a week. The skin needs at least one day to recover. I personally do facial yoga from Monday to Friday and give my face a \"day off\" at the weekend.<\/h2>\n

I would advise you to do this moderately but regularly. Don't forget that this is a long-term project. If you set your goals too high, you'll soon give up in frustration.\u00a0<\/h2>\n

4. how long do you do the exercises?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

I recommend 30 seconds per exercise.\u00a0<\/h2>\n

I have in my Exercise programme <\/strong><\/a><\/span>12 exercises - at least one for each part of the face, so that the whole face is thoroughly toned. This means that you only need 6 minutes for such a \"workout\".<\/h2>\n

Later, when you are more experienced, you can train for longer and do 45 or 60 seconds per exercise. This is particularly recommended for facial exercises that are of particular concern to you. For me, it was frown lines, which are now a thing of the past thanks to facial yoga. But that's exactly why I always practise the forehead exercises for longer than the other exercises.<\/h2>\n

5 When should you do facial yoga?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

I think the ideal time is first thing in the morning. Facial yoga cheers you up, drains blocked lymphatic fluid, opens your eyes beautifully and you need less make-up afterwards.\u00a0<\/h2>\n

But basically you can do facial yoga at any time. The only time that is not so suitable is just before going to bed. Your face is energised after practising and you won't be able to sleep well.\u00a0<\/h2>\n
