Everyone dreams of having healthy, glowing skin. But in today’s world, everyone is using expensive creams or taking facial treatments from salons, but they all provide only temporary results. But the reality is that the true beauty of the skin starts internally. When the blood flow to the skin is better, the stress levels of the face tissues will automatically decrease, thereby activating the muscles of the face. Face yoga is simple and easy, and can be easily practised at home. 

Only 10 minutes are needed each day for practising facial yoga. It includes warming up the skin, increasing the flow of oxygen, and after that, you can see the results yourself. Your complexion will have a naturally healthy glow and even skin tone. All this will happen without any cost or side effects. 

Understanding face yoga 

Face yoga is a combination of gentle massage and mindful exercises which help in the stimulation and activation of the facial muscles. As yoga tones the body, similarly, facial yoga emphasises toning the muscles of the face internally. The slow, gentle movements increase the blood circulation. They allow greater delivery of nutrients as well as oxygen to the cells of your skin. A gentle massage can also facilitate the lymphatic system. It helps to drain lymph, reduce swelling and remove toxins. 

With the due course of time, the practice of face yoga helps in enhancing the elasticity of the facial skin. It stimulates collagen, which helps in keeping the facial skin firmer, as it is a natural and holistic approach to improving your facial skin. It just requires your hands and 10 minutes from your everyday routine. 

Advantages of face yoga for healthy, glowing skin 

Practising face yoga on a daily basis gives a great yet gentle workout to your skin, which results in providing an effective glow to the skin. Being consistent is the key to improving nutrient and oxygen distribution to your skin. This allows the skin to look fresh and radiant naturally. This helps in the detoxification of the body, which results in decreased puffiness and fewer dark circles. This makes your face look more youthful and defined. Additionally, the technique and calmness, as well as breathing, used in the practice help in alleviating stress. Hence, it results in fewer breakouts with a bright and even-toned complexion. 

Follow the daily 10-minute face yoga routine. 

• Smoother forehead – You have to put your fingers across your forehead and then, gently and slowly glide towards the temples of the head. This enables the release of tension, thereby lessening the lines which are created from frowning. 
• Cheek lifting – You have to give a wide smile while placing the tips of your fingers on your cheeks. Towards your eyes, you have to lift your cheeks and hold for at least 10 seconds. This helps in strengthening the muscles of the cheek, giving a lifted appearance to your face. 
• Making a fish face – For creating a fish face, you have to suck in your cheeks and lips. Hold it for at least 10 seconds and relax. Repeat the same three times. This will tone your cheeks and the muscles of the jawline, thereby promoting blood circulation as well.  
• Stretches of the neck – You have to press the tongue gently up to the roof of your mouth and maintain a gaze at the ceiling for 10 seconds. This stretch is very effective as it provides toning of the neck area and also prevents sagging. 
• Focusing on eyes – While looking up, you need to blink your eyes slowly for 15 seconds. This helps in relaxing the eyes, alleviating the eye strain and diminishing the tension of the muscles as well. 

For face yoga to be effective, it is important for you to combine it with healthy habits. Always keep yourself hydrated.
