The face is the body part that has more muscle; there are dozens of muscles in it, which explains why the face is an area of great expression and movement. Despite this, the face is the part of the body that you exercise less and which often remains inactive; even sometimes it spends days without laughing, which brings a number of disadvantages for facial health and beauty. The lack of oxygenation, circulation and nutrient poor irrigation can turn your face limp, dull, tired and make it prone to premature wrinkles and conditions. Also stress, anxiety, not sleeping well, not drinking enough liquids and becomes unduly exposed to sun makes face unattractive.

Yoga has become fashionable in recent years for being an extremely useful activity to promote good condition, health and youth of the body. Among the exercises of yoga, we can find those intended to exercise the face, which are called facial yoga.

How to learn facial Yoga?

You can learn a facial yoga with an instructor, or through books, DVD or even on the internet as there are pages with examples of some facial yoga exercises. Yoga exercises for face combine a series of manipulations and gestures with proper breathing techniques and meditation. Although it is always recommended the instruction of a professional, we've compiled some exercises with simple instructions for you to get you started practicing it at home.

Before starting we recommend:

  • Having a clean and well moisturized face with some cream and honey, aloe, apple, etc., which help to turn it more amenable to manipulation.
  • Do not forget to drink enough water throughout the day, so that your face has the necessary moisture to keep in good condition. Two liters of water a day is enough.

Yoga to the side of the eyes: Put your middle fingers gently on the skin of lateral side of your eyes. Then squeeze your eyes a little bit feeling that this skin is stretched, and doing light tension with the ring finger. Repeat three or four times. Avoid heavy pressure as this skin is delicate.

These exercises can be practiced in the morning or at night, and even at work if you're stressed. If you want to increase the benefits of facial yoga, you should consume antioxidant-rich foods so that your blood is of quality. Carrots, strawberries, blueberries, garlic, onion, celery and tomato are an elixir for the skin, as well as fish and vegetables rich in good oil, nutrients for optimal cellular regeneration.
